Noah Preminger: Pivot: Live at the 55 Bar
by Dave Wayne
In a decidedly bold move, young tenor saxophonist Noah Preminger's first self-released album, Pivot: Live at the 55 Bar, consists of two 30-minute-plus tracks; both interpretations of tunes by bluesman Bukka White. The result? A white-knuckle modern jazz thrill ride and possibly the fastest hour you'll spend in front of the stereo this year. Listening to ...
Giuseppe Guarrella Niwas Quartet: Urban Lullaby
by Vincenzo Roggero
Alla base vi è una sezione ritmica granitica, una sorta di boa inamovibile sulla quale contare per ogni evenienza, ma altrettanto ricca di suggestioni e di profumi, grazie alla ricchezza timbrica della batteria e al suono scuro, caldo, ipnotico del contrabbasso. Poi vi è il sax, che traccia le linee melodiche, le irrobustisce, talvolta le abbandona ...
Noah Preminger: Pivot: Live At The 55 Bar
by Mark Corroto
With few exceptions, there has always been a disconnect between live performance and recorded jazz. They are almost two worlds divorced from each other. Sure, listening to an LP of Sonny Rollins or Bill Evans captured at the Village Vanguard has a historic aura about it, but capturing that moment in time is nearly unachievable. Nothing ...
Michael McNeill Trio: Flight
by Hrayr Attarian
On his second release as a leader Flight pianist Michael McNeill elegantly embellishes his own intricate compositions with bold spontaneity. He imbues the melodic elements of the album with subtle angularity and maintains a strong lyrical sense even while flirting with dissonance.The contemplative “Za," for instance, has a crystalline harmonic structure within which McNeill ...
Christian Vuust & Aaron Parks: Storytelling
by Jakob Baekgaard
"You're technically hip. But what is your story?" This quote from the famous saxophonist and storyteller Lester Young is used in the Danish saxophonist Christian Vuust's introduction to his album Storytelling. The context of the quote is Lester Young teaching a group of young musicians the importance of being able to tell a story with music. ...
Mirko Pedrotti Quintet: MPQ
by Giuseppe Segala
Mirko Pedrotti, vibrafonista, percussionista e compositore trentino, giunge con questo lavoro al secondo CD a proprio nome, alla guida del quintetto che con lo stesso organico (più qualche ospite, tra cui Saverio Tasca) pubblicò nel 2013 Kimèra. Unica variante, la sostituzione del pianista di allora Luca Poletti con Luca Olzer, che qui compare alle tastiere Rhodes ...
Oscar Perez: Prepare A Place For Me
by Dan Bilawsky
If Oscar Perez hadn't taken to the piano, he might've had a promising career in music journalism. In the concise and profound liner essay for this album, Perez intelligently considers the meaning of music, the struggles and joys connected to the art of creating and performing, and the way an individual's very being seeps into the ...
Kazuki Yamanaka: Songs Unconscious-minded
by C. Michael Bailey
Multi-reedist Kazuki Yamanaka is a newly-minted jazz musician, assimilated into New York City and in touch with all of the right friends. For his debut recording as a leader, Songs Unconscious- minded, Yamanaka has composed and arranged seven original compositions and one traditional Japanese melody, revealing in the bargain, a well-developed sense of musical self, possessing ...
Jon Irabagon: Behind The Sky
by Jakob Baekgaard
The cover of saxophonist Jon Irabagon's album Behind the Sky depicts a lonely man walking in a landscape of ice-clad mountains. The image is an apt metaphor for the grieving process that Irabagon tries to put into music. However, those expecting a ballad session of gentle contemplation are in for a surprise. Irabagon's musical landscape is ...
