Lena Hovanesian: irwinorange

Read "irwinorange" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

In assigning colors to a musician's “sound," does alto saxophonist Lena Hovanesian blow orange? Maybe. On her debut CD, irwinorange, the title taken from the 2014 Franklin Evans' painting of the same name, Hovanesian's alto has a citrus-y tang, as she explores, sonically, her love of abstract art and natural beauty of Hawaii and her native ...

Vladan: Ornaments

Read "Ornaments" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Eastern Europe and, particularly the Balkans, have been fertile ground in the evolution of jazz, with an excellent recent example of Markelian Kapedani's Balkan Bop. Another pianist emerging from that same fecund spot is Vladan. Vladan is Vladan Mijatovic, a Serbian pianist and composer intent on trashing genre designations and fully expanding the piano sound palette. ...

Read "Aurora" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Per il secondo disco da leader il contrabbassista Claudio Ottaviano modifica parzialmente partner e strumentazione (si aggiunge il batterista Roberto Paglieri, Antonio Zambrini sostituisce Franzini al pianoforte) mentre conferma la relazione con il sassofonista Tino Tracanna.

Better than TV: Late

Read "Late" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

Better than TV, huh? A few years ago that assertion--from a young quintet based in Cambridge, UK--would have been quite a boast. Today, not so much. Still, congrats to the band for coming up with the name. It's memorable and a tad quirky, which is good, because on this evidence the band, with a strong bop ...

Read "This Is What You Are" reviewed by Chris Mosey

by Chris Mosey

When Mary May heard Sarah Vaughan sing “If I Loved You" it blew her away. “She sang in a way I had never heard anyone sing before." Then came Anita O'Day, Nancy Wilson and Marion Montgomery. They all made May yearn to follow in their footsteps. But Scots being--famously--careful people, it took a ...

Read "Roundabout" reviewed by Budd Kopman

by Budd Kopman

Pianist, composer and arranger Julian Schneemann must be given credit for his extreme ambition in the creation of his wonderful debut recording, Roundabout. Not only does he mix French horn and bassoon with the more “normal" jazz instruments to get a sound one does not often hear, he has mixed “classical" music with “jazz" ...
