Aron Namenwirth, Daniel Carter, Joe Hertenstein, Zach Swanson: Live at the Bushwick Series
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un quartetto di cui il chitarrista Aron Namenwirth è il primo (e sul CD l'unico) firmatario ma che abbraccia in realtà il “vangelo" dell'improvvisazione collettiva (facendo non poco leva sul polistrumentismo quanto mai eclettico di Daniel Carter, che affianca alla tromba sax tenore, soprano e contralto) firma questo brillante lavoro il cui sdipanarsi (sei episodi svarianti ...

Hal Galper Trio: Invitation To Openness
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Hall Galper turned away from the life of touring in 2000, and eased into “the shed," to work on some innovative ideas that would change the shape of the piano trio.

Ludovico Granvassu's 2021 Sonic Delights
by Ludovico Granvassu
Jazz is not a competitive sport and “Best Ofs" are misnomers. End of the year listicles have no bearing on the artistic standing of the albums they include, or on those they neglect, just like a five star review doesn't make the album it graces any better than it already is. But, apparently, humans ...
Miles Davis: The Real Second Great Quintet
by Chris May
