Heloisa Fernandes: Candeias
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The pursuit of art is ceaseless, firstly because the artist is--to use the Latin from whence it came and it reads thus: poeta nascitur non fit. Art is, as well, an exposition of life as it tumbles upon the world, this way and that. However, for the artist there is another raison d'être. The impulse to ...

Roberto Magris e Big Band Ritmo Sinfonica "Città di Verona": Restless Spirits
by AAJ Italy Staff
Come si legge nelle note di copertina «la Big Band Ritmo Sinfonica “Città di Verona"..., fondata nel 1946 per iniziativa di alcuni musicisti dell'orchestra sinfonica di Verona, si è evoluta negli anni verso una formidabile formazione jazzistica, condotta prima da Mario Pezzotta e Renzo Nardini e, dal 1995, da Marco Pasetto». L'organico dell'orchestra, che in questo ...
Roberto Magris Trio: Kansas City Outbound
by Dan McClenaghan
Italian pianist Roberto Magris has, much in the mode of American piano icon Jessica Williams, melded multiple influences to shape his style. He channels McCoy Tyner, John Coltrane's pianist in his 1960's rise to jazz stardom, on Kansas City Outbound's opener/title tune. Dense chords and a powerful percussive attack are the well-executed game plan for the ...
Lawrence Blatt: The Color of Sunshine
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The magical ability of music, not just to entertain the senses but to touch the auditory nerves and to trigger a flood of emotions, has never been in doubt. Some music can lay claim to unlocking the mysterious ingredients that strike such subliminal chords. To do it with unabashed grace is also rare. Somehow Lawrence Blatt ...
Derek Smith: Latin Expression
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The title of Derek Smith's Latin Expression falls somewhat short of the actual experience. It does not even begin to describe the utter joy that arises from the resonant, fluttering, dancing music that swathes the record. Perhaps “Latin Explosion" might have been more appropriate? Steel panist/vibraphonist Smith plunges, body and soul, into a veritable carnival of ...
Adam Rapa: Life on the Road
by Nicholas F. Mondello
In Italian, rapa translates, ever so blandly, as turnip. In the dialect of music and trumpeting, Rapa probably translates as supernova. Reminiscent of the Hubble Telescope's display of spectacular images of galaxies far away, their beauty exploding in viewer's eyes and hearts, Adam Rapa's Life on the Road is a prismatic and almost spectacular CD. On ...
Andy Emler: Crouch, Touch, Engage
by Jean-Marc Gelin
With Crouch, Touch, Engage, Andy Elmer is back. He is one of the most influential pianist/composers to have appeared on the French scene in the last 15 years, having explored all the possible links between jazz and rock. He has collaborated with some major jazz artists, including (Michel Portal, François Jeanneau, Trilok Gurtu and the late ...
Beep: You Are Special, You are a Special Friend
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Beep is a relatively recent recording band featuring pianist Michael Coleman, bassist Nate Brenner and new drummer Sam Ospovat. The music Beep plays might trot and skip, slide, gambol and rush breathlessly; sometimes streaking across a musical canvas that occasionally intersects with familiar sound. Was that a Thelonious Monk figure or did a Cecil Taylor-like run ...
