Jim Black Trio: The Constant
by Vincenzo Roggero
The Constant, ossia la forma canzone come costante nella scrittura che Jim Black mette in campo in questo terzo lavoro del trio completato dal giovane talento Elias Stemeseder al pianoforte e da quello già ampiamente riconosciuto di Thomas Morgan al contrabbasso.

Hrayr Attarian's Best Releases of 2016
by Hrayr Attarian
Many other writers have submitted superb Best of/End of year lists, so another similar one would be redundant. As women instrumentalists in jazz have been historically underrepresented to great degree and remain a minority even today, below is a list with a feminist bent.

Satoko Fujii Orchestra Tokyo: Peace
by Budd Kopman

Satoko Fujii Orchestra Tokyo: Peace
by Dan McClenaghan
The rumor rolled out in mid-2016 that Japanese pianist/composer/bandleader Satoko Fujii had another orchestral album on the way.

Frank Kimbrough: Solstice
by Budd Kopman
Pianist Frank Kimbrough's latest offering, Solstice on the Pirouet label, is a joy from beginning to end. Pirouet is the home of some other fine piano trios, including those of Marc Copland (see Some Love Songs, Modinha, Voices and Night Whispers). Copland, arguably working from the Bill Evans aesthetic is, of course, ...
Jerome Wilson's Best Releases of 2016
by Jerome Wilson
Any “best of the year" list is really a snapshot in time. It's impossible to listen to all the worthwhile jazz music out there so you end up making a list based on what you've heard during the year. With apologies to Kris Davis, John Scofield, Darcy James Argue and all the other musicians whose CDs ...
