Riccardo Fassi - Roswell Rudd 4tet: Double Exposure
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sono diversi i punti di forza di questa felice collaborazione discografica di Riccardo Fassi con Roswell Rudd: la squisita musicalità del pianista, peraltro abile arrangiatore; l'inconfondibile voce strumentale rude e vociferante di Rudd; le perle compositive di Herbie Nichols. Come ciliegina sulla torta, una ritmica di assoluta eccellenza al servizio dell'inarrestabile espressività che può vantare ancora ...

Roswell Rudd: Trombone Tribe
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The trombone is perhaps the only brass instrument that can--if well played--capture a devastating array of human emotions. It can be made to wail plaintively and growl menacingly. It can be played to sing and make extraordinary leaps of joy, even evoke hallelujahs and other spiritual epiphanies with breathtaking abandon. But it must be played with ...
Harry Miller's Isipingo: Full Steam Ahead
by Nic Jones
Such is the nature of the reviewing game that some reviews just flow out, taking the perennial word count with it. This is usually because the force of life running through the music under discussion is vibrant enough to make it so, and Full Steam Ahead is a case in point. If the notion ...
Roswell Rudd Quartet: Keep Your Heart Right
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sarebbe facile ascoltare con sufficienza questo “banale" disco di canzoni, all'apparenza un CD di jazz moderno come tanti. Sarebbe facile trascurare l'ottimo lavoro svolto dal pianista Lafayette Harris e dal bassista Bradley Jones, ma anche la lucentezza della voce e l'efficacia espressiva della cantante di origini sudcoreane Sunny Kim. Fortunatamente, sottovalutare tutto quanto di buono c'è ...
Roswell Rudd: Keep Your Heart Right
by Fred Bouchard
Ruby Braff once described a jazz combo as “conversation among friends." Venerated veteran trombonist Roswell Rudd rates prime candidacy for Mister Congeniality as he relaxes in witty repartee and pleasant banter with like-thinking colleagues: stalwart-yet-light-fingered pianist Lafayette Harris Jr., orotund bassist Brad Jones and singer Sunny Kim, a dew-dappled voice of reason and cheer. Rudd, self-styled ...
