Take Five With Daniel Volovets

Read "Take Five With Daniel Volovets" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Eberhard Weber: Colours

Read "Eberhard Weber: Colours" reviewed by John Kelman


As the jazz-rock fusion movement gained ground from its early years in the late 1960s through its glory days in the early-to-mid-1970s—blending the more sophisticated harmonies of jazz with rock music's rhythmic power and high volume—all too often it was about muscular chops and complex writing for the sake of it. Little attention was paid to ...

John Moulder: Bifrost

Read "Bifrost" reviewed by David Rickert


It's probably inevitable that any review of any of John Moulder's recordings will mention that he is a Catholic priest. Not only is this an interesting dichotomy for most of us to reconcile--a century ago, people in Moulder's profession were calling jazz the devil's music--but it's also an indication that, just maybe, in exchange for his ...

Ralph Towner / Paolo Fresu: Chiaroscuro

Read "Chiaroscuro" reviewed by David McLean


Continuing his long and fruitful relationship with Manfred Eicher's ECM Records--yielding a slew of successful solo records and concerts, acclaimed group work with Oregon and Solstice (also featuring Jan Garbarek), and duo work with John Abercrombie, Gary Peacock and Gary Burton--guitarist/pianist Ralph Towner has become something of an icon for the German label. Chiaroscuro marks another ...

John Moulder: Bifrost

Read "Bifrost" reviewed by John Kelman


A longtime member of ex-Pat Metheny Group drummer Paul Wertico's trio, enough has already been written about John Moulder's double life as jazz guitarist and ordained priest. Bifröst is Moulder's follow-up to the ambitious and eclectic Trinity (Origin, 2006), where the guitarist's spirituality became a touchstone for music ranging from the ethereal to the grounded, and ...

Terry Plumeri: Water Garden

Read "Water Garden" reviewed by John Kelman


With the compelling, largely free-blowing 1971 session He Who Lives In Many Places (GMMC Records) finally issued on CD in 2006, Water Garden rights a similar wrong for Terry Plumeri, an overlooked bassist if ever there was one. Recorded five years later, Water Garden was an even more ambitious date that brought back guitarist John Abercrombie ...

Ralph Towner - Paolo Fresu: Chiaroscuro

Read "Chiaroscuro" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il primo contatto tra i due protagonisti di questo lavoro è avvenuto nell'ormai lontano 1992, in occasione del festival jazz di Sant'Anna Arresi. Successivamente - ed in particolare negli ultimi anni - non sono mancate le occasioni di incontro che hanno dato origine anche ad alcuni concerti, ma solo ora emerge il frutto discografico di quella ...
