Tony Kadleck, who has done almost everything one can do on a trumpet, adds the designation big-band leader to his resume with Around the Horn, an impressive debut CD for which he has written all the charts and enlisted a group of the New York area's A-list musicians to interpret them. If leadership is best imparted ...

I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Luca Dell'Anna
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Clifford Brown--Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings (Verve -1989). A mio parere il punto più alto fra i giganti che stanno alla radice del jazz moderno è rappresentato da Clifford Brown. Ogni sua frase nasce già scolpita nella pietra, un'aderenza perfetta fra pensiero e azione. Ascoltando Clifford Brown mi ritorna chiara ogni volta l'importanza della ...
Jeff Ballard: Time's Tales
by Angelo Leonardi
Accanto all'esperienza con Brad Mehldau e Larry Grenadier e l'altra--meno appariscente e quasi cameristica--del Fly (che lo vede con quest'ultimo e Mark Turner) Jeff Ballard affianca dal 2006 un altro trio, di cui è leader, e che ora debutta su disco con questo variopinto ed estroverso Time's Tales. “Sono a metà della mia ...
Diane Schuur: I Remember You (With Love to Stan and Frank)
by Victor L. Schermer
Diane Schuur is that rare songbird who is equally competent as a jazz singer and a pops entertainer.

Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole had a ...
Furthering The Flute In Jazz: Holly Hofmann and Bill McBirnie
by Dan Bilawsky
Long gone are the days when the flute was only seen as a jazz novelty or a saxophonist's double. Once upon a time you could count the number of notable jazz flautists on a hand (or two), but the ranks have swelled a little bit over the years, and those leading the charge today aren't content ...

Daniel Smith: Smokin' Hot Bassoon Blues
by Hrayr Attarian
It is rare that a jazz album comes with laugh out loud moments but bassoonist Daniel Smith's Smokin' Hot Bassoon Blues is full of them.
