Alfredo Triff: Parodies: Jazz Music for Violin and Octet
by Eyal Hareuveni
American-Cuban violinist Alfredo Triff is known for his long-standing work with composer-arranger-songwriter-producer Kip Hanrahan that began in 1985--five years after Triff arrived to New york from Havana, Cuba--and continues to this day. But Triff's work encompasses more than Hanrahan music. He experimented with recording solo electric violin, released solo albums that presented his diverse musical interests ...
Victor Prieto: The Three Voices
by Dan McClenaghan
On the cover of his CD The Three Voices, Victor Prieto looks as if he's going to do something crazy with his accordions. He is a giant behind the big city skyline, towering over tall buildings. It's sort of like a “Godzilla of the squeeze boxes" scene. But the accordionist doesn't look like he's bent on ...
Tim Whalen: Oblivion: The Music of Bud Powell
by Mark Sullivan
Pianist/composer/arranger Tim Whalen pays tribute to the great bebop pianist Bud Powell with this set of creative arrangements. Whalen rightly points out that Powell was the architect of modern jazz piano, yet he is often overlooked when fellow bebop pioneers Bird, Monk, and Dizzy are mentioned. His arrangements of Powell compositions (plus one new original) are ...
Noah Preminger: Pivot: Live At The 55 Bar
by Budd Kopman
The first thing that should be said about tenor saxophonist Noah Preminger's Pivot: Live At The 55 Bar is the extremely exciting you-are-there feeling of the recording. Recording engineer Jimmy Katz has managed to capture the sound and visceral feel of a jazz quartet in full cry with no net. Many jazz listeners can remember a ...
Julian Hartwell: The Julian Hartwell Project
by Edward Blanco
A regular performer throughout the Philadelphia, PA area over the last ten years, pianist/bandleader and educator Julian Hartwell, has brought together a band of young up-and-coming musicians from the area's vibrant jazz scene for the production of The Julian Hartwell Project, the group's self-titled, all-original debut album. Featuring eight original compositions, the music highlights a light ...
Hendrik Meurkens: Harmonicus Rex
by Dan Bilawsky
While the swing side of harmonica master Hendrik Meurkens' personality has basically been dormant for the past fifteen years, it hasn't disappeared. After highlighting his Brazilian jazz bona fides on record after record, Meurkens now returns to straight-ahead jazz on this instantly pleasing date. Harmonicus Rex, despite it's humorously monstrous title, isn't a ...
Eliane Correa & En El Aire Project: Rumba Con Flores
by Bruce Lindsay
Short--at just 32 minutes and eight tracks--and straight to the point, Rumba Con Flores is an assured debut from Eliane Correa. The young keyboardist, composer and arranger recorded the album in Havana and London over a three year period (then mixed and mastered it in Madrid), working with a fine array of musicians who prove themselves ...
George Walker Petit: Emergence
by Budd Kopman
Guitarist (and bassist) George Walker Petit originally got into the recording side of the music business (in 1979) because he was not hearing in playback or the final product that which he had heard in his mind while he was playing. Along the way he built up quite a reputation as the “go-to" guy who, since ...
Roberto Negro Trio invite Christophe Monniot: Luna di Wuxi - L'opéra
by Stefano Merighi
Ci si chiede a volte quale sia il grado di consapevolezza che spinge un giovane musicista nell'arena del jazz e della musica improvvisata; quale sia il suo disegno estetico (sempre che ne abbia uno), quali le sue aspettative di riconoscimento. Vien da dire che, oltrepassando ogni impasse, l'atteggiamento migliore possa essere quello dell'entusiasmo incondizionato ...
