Save the Date - Aprile 2015
by Luca Canini
Addio inverno, addio salette umide e fredde, addio sciarpette e giacconi. Archiviato Bergamo Jazz (e archiviata dopo quattro anni la più che positiva direzione artistica di Enrico Rava), con l'affacciarsi della primavera fioccano festival e rassegne. Piazze, teatri, giardini e palchi all'aperto: da qui a settembre ci sarà solo l'imbarazzo della scelta. A noi di Save ...
Bergamo Jazz 2015
by Libero Farnè
Sotto la direzione artistica di Enrico Rava per il quarto anno consecutivo, Bergamo Jazz 2015 ha proposto un ampio ventaglio di espressioni jazzistiche, ognuna delle quali fortemente caratterizzata; quasi a ribadire la natura poliedrica di questa musica, la ragione stessa della sua sopravvivenza, vale a dire la sua tentacolare commistione di generi, approcci e forme diverse, ...
Donna Lewis: Brand New Day
by Ben Scholz
Pop culture's love-hate relationship with its artists presents an interesting conundrum. Music created for mass-consumption must be easily digestible, yet the public is quick to retaliate against content that lacks substance. Gifted musicians are often pigeonholed into a certain style or sound that may not reflect their true range. This myopic point of view focuses on ...
Donna Lewis Returns With New Jazz Album, "Brand New Day"
Platinum singer-songwriter reimagines her own material and songs by David Bowie, Neil Young, Damien Rice, Gnarls Barkley, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chocolate Genius, Burt Bacharach and Harry Nilsson.

Save the Date - Luglio 2014
by Luca Canini
Impazza l'estate, impazzano i festival. Rassegne, eventi, raduni, piazze, castelli, arene, vicoli, spettatori sudati che non sanno come sbarazzarsi della coppetta del gelato appena trangugiato, bambini aggrappati ai passeggini, improbabili canotte, pelli bruciacchiate, aperitivi in ogni dove e concerti a non finire. Ma di qualità poca. L'infilata di meraviglie che ha caratterizzato la primavera è un ...
The Bad Plus: The Rite Of Spring
by Dan Bilawsky
Calculation and risk, bombast and glory, a complete shunning of expectations, and a penchant for the provocative, percussive and dramatic. It's hard to know if that description is meant to be applied to Igor Stravinsky's most heralded work or the collectively-operated trio known as The Bad Plus; it's hard to make that distinction because it rings ...
Jeff Ballard Trio: Time's Tales
by Ian Patterson
For several decades Jeff Ballard has been the first call drummer for a host of contemporary jazz's biggest names, notably pianist Brad Mehldau, with whom Ballard has played since 2005.
