John Moulder: Metamorphosis

by Jack Bowers
As approximately fifty of the sixty-eight minutes on Chicago-based guitarist John Moulder's new CD, Metamorphosis, are devoted to the seven-part Metamorphosis Suite," that seems an appropriate point at which to start any appraisal of its contents and purpose.

German pianist Michael Wollny is one of the most exciting and important jazz artists of our time.

Michel Portal: MP85

by Giuseppe Segala
Alla tenera età di ottantacinque anni, compiuti lo scorso novembre, Michel Portal è ancora in grado di stupire e incantare con le sue invenzioni musicali.

Dominik Wania: Lonely Shadows

by Friedrich Kunzmann
Keith Jarrett's The Köln Concert (1975) may still be regarded as the undisputed milestone in ECM's rich history of solo piano recordings.

Jeff Williams: Road Tales - Live At London Jazz Festival

by Friedrich Kunzmann
Some live albums impress with the sophistication of restraint or sonic clarity, others simply boast energy. Veteran drummer Jeff Williams' Road Tales: Live At London Jazz Festival unmistakably belongs to the latter. Vested with two handfuls of original compositions and an adept cast of sidemen, Williams delivers a fiery set of saxophone-led post-bop that revisits a ...
Composer / Drummer Filippo Bonaccorso Releases 'Enigmatica' on Got Groove Records

“These compositions were born during a very long span of my life, long before I conceived of this project and this album,” says drummer, composer, and bandleader Filippo Bonaccorso of his recording debut. “Enigmatica is the characteristic of the human soul that is indefinite, often unsolved, not always clear.” However, Enigmatica makes this very clear: Its ...
Essential Michael Brecker

by Jason West
This article was originally published at All About Jazz in November 1999.
