Lucian Ban: Following Bartók's Trail Through the Transylvanian Villages

Read "Lucian Ban: Following Bartók's Trail Through the Transylvanian Villages" reviewed by Dean Nardi

by Dean Nardi

It is hard to re-invent where jazz can go. Players can eschew all the conventional methods they want, but a wheel is still a wheel. This is a reason why pianist Lucian Ban's efforts to bring to light the Hungarian composer, pianist and ethnomusicologist Bela Bartók's works as a field collector of folk music in 21st-century ...

Gravity and Resurgence: The Many Dimensions of Dexter Gordon

Read "Gravity and Resurgence: The Many Dimensions of Dexter Gordon" reviewed by Arthur R George

by Arthur R George

Long Tall Dexter; swinger, bebopper, saxophone balladeer; acting the dissipated genius expatriate who was not unlike himself in the movie Round Midnight; his dressed-up persona “Society Red;" the laconic elder statesman of his later years.

Ryan Truesdell: Synthesis: The String Quartet Sessions

Read "Synthesis: The String Quartet Sessions" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

«L'idea di Synthesis--dice Ryan Truesdell presentando il progetto--è nata dalla consapevolezza che molti compositori di jazz traggono ispirazione dalla scrittura per quartetto d'archi di eminenti compositori classici come Bartok, Brahms e Ravel, e dalla necessità di trovare un modo realistico e al tempo stesso stimolante per creare musica insieme». Il giovane orchestratore, divenuto ...
