Jacques Pellarin Trio: Sound of Philadelphia

Read "Sound of Philadelphia" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose
December 1, 2009

Sound of Philadelphia is not a novelty record--one that some critics might dismiss as world music. Jacques Pellarin's music is inflected with myriad cultural influences, so this rather empty epithet is likely to be used on the composer. This labeling is especially tough on an artist who is as seriously talented as the French/Basque musician. Pellarin ...

Garcia-Fons began playing the bass when he was 16, gravitating to the instrument from ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
July 11, 2006

Musicista dalle molteplici ispirazioni e contrabbassista di rare virtù strumentali, Renaud Garcia-Fons è difficilmente riducibile ad uomo di jazz, avendo perlopiù operato in contesti compositi e trasversali. In questo lavoro, registrato dal vivo allo Schloss Elmau, tra le montagne tedesche (purtroppo andato a fuoco poco tempo dopo la registrazione), dà magnificamente prova delle sue qualità proponendo ...
