Linda Sikhakhane, Raoul Bjorkenheim & Satoko Fujii

By MAURICE HOGUE

Things get a little rockin' this time out with the powerful guitar of Raoul Bjorkenheim and a top Italian quartet digging into the music of John Coltrane. Then he's front and center in the J&F Band, a mostly Italian ensemble, led by legendary Allman Brothers Band drummer Jaimoe and bassist Joe Fonda (and Joe sings! Who ...

Miles Davis' Rubberband, Kuba Wiecek Trio & KaMaSz

By MAURICE HOGUE

Two rather contrasting recordings highlight this episode: Dan Weiss with his trio augmented by a second bassist and Rubberband, the once-shelved and now revived release from Miles Davis which was recorded after he had left Columbia. On Weiss' album, he displays the chops (often with heavy rock influences) that make him such a high-in-demand player, while ...

Il Meglio del 2018 Secondo Neri Pollastri

By NERI POLLASTRI

Anche quest'anno, faticosamente e responsabilmente, ho selezionato tra i miei numerosi ascolti dodici dischi e dieci concerti che potessero essere considerati se non “i migliori," quantomeno “tra i migliori." La selezione è fatalmente influenzata non solo dalle mie predilezioni (non si può ascoltar tutto e fatalmente ci si concentra su ciò che per qualche ragione ci ...

By NERI POLLASTRI

Ottimo chitarrista ed eccellente compositore, il quarantenne Scott DuBois è tra i musicisti più interessanti in circolazione e negli ultimi anni ha proposto lavori di tutto rispetto, tra i quali spicca nel 2015 Winter Light, per la ACT, in quartetto con Gebhard Ullmann, Thomas Morgan e Kresten Osgood, cioè la medesima formazione di questo Autumn Wind, ...

John Kelman's Best Releases of 2017

By JOHN KELMAN

For those who may have noticed, there have been no best of lists coming from yours truly since 2014; sadly, the chronic health problem that has reduced my previous writing pace to a crawl continues without much respite. My best of the year lists have always been predicated upon having reviewed the releases chosen, and with ...

Dan Bilawsky's Best Releases Of 2017

By DAN BILAWSKY

Few things are a given, yet we can always count on a flood of new music making its way into the world over the course of a year. In 2017 some of the best jazz found its path by looking forward, doubling back, and/or branching out. In short, this music and the dedicated artists who make ...

Scott DuBois: Autumn Wind

By DAN BILAWSKY

When last we heard from guitarist Scott DuBois he was conjuring visceral thoughts of our coldest times on Winter Light (ACT Music, 2015). Now he's turned back the calendar one season, turning his attention toward harvest days with Autumn Wind. While there are certain similarities between DuBois' two seasonal epics--the presence of bassist ...

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Neri Pollastri

By NERI POLLASTRI

Elencare le musiche migliori di un'annata è sempre cosa arbitraria e soggettiva, ma soprattutto espone al rischio di escludere altra musica, meritevole invece quanto quella inclusa (e, a volte, persino di più). Ne consegue che anche questo elenco--peraltro molto meditato -è tutt'altro che esaustivo, o definitivo. Indica però, certamente, musica che in questo 2016 mi ha ...
