Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra: Suite Messiah / Steppin' Out

Read "Suite Messiah / Steppin' Out" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Suite Messiah, recorded in 2012 and 2014, is the third and most recent album produced by the excellent Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra from central Canada, while Steppin' Out was recorded in 2007 to mark the orchestra's tenth anniversary. Whereas Suite Messiah is altogether seasonal, Steppin' Out salutes the Great American Songbook by renovating a dozen of its ...

Mano a Mano: Mano a Mano

Read "Mano a Mano: Mano a Mano" reviewed by Phil Barnes

by Phil Barnes

It's all there in the cover photo--shot in black and white André and Bruno Santos gaze impassively back at the listener clutching their magnificent semi acoustic electric guitars (surely the classic jazz guitar look?), the modernity of their relaxed personal style contrasting with the sixties brutalist concrete geometric pattern behind them. Look closer and you notice ...

Massimo Barbiero: Simone de Beauvoir

Read "Simone de Beauvoir" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Diciamo subito che prima ancora della grande scrittrice compagna di Jean-Paul Sartre, la dedicataria del disco è una gatta (del resto evocata in copertina, e ritratta direttamente nell'interno), purtroppo in memoria. Secondo particolare, senz'altro da anteporre a ogni altra considerazione: il presente lavoro, realizzato fra settembre e novembre 2014, dà finalmente voce nella maniera più esplicita ...

Ian Sims And Divergent Paths: Conundrum

Read "Conundrum" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

The title of saxophonist Ian Sims' debut recording is a bit of a misnomer, for his music isn't trying, confusing, or difficult to unravel. This is certainly modern jazz, but it's not modern jazz of the confounding and disorienting variety. For his first album, the Baltimore-based tenor man put together a quintet of ...

Musette Explosion: Introducing Musette Explosion

Read "Introducing Musette Explosion" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Will Holshouser, Matt Munisteri e Marcus Rojas scrivono una nuova pagina nella lunga relazione che lega il jazz alla musette e, innanzi tutto, hanno il merito di non riproporre le varie tipologie dello stile manouche (a partire dalla matrice storica di Django Reinhardt e Stéphane Grappelli) scegliendo semmai di seguire un percorso analogo a quello di ...

Steven Feifke: Peace In Time

Read "Peace In Time" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

How do you rate a jazz album? Is it about strength and depth of improvisation--"the sound of surprise," as the late, great journalist Whitney Balliet might say? Is it about structural intricacy, harmonic integrity, rhythmic feel, and melodic communication? Or is it musical ingenuity and individual personalities at play that help to make or break a ...

Steve Olson: Conversations

Read "Conversations" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Non più di primissimo pelo, il batterista Steve Olson firma il proprio esordio discografico in prima persona dedicandolo al duetto con partner differenti (in totale sei). Non essendo troppo spinto l'acceleratore sui contrasti dinamici, all'interno del singolo brano ma tutto sommato anche nel totale (prevale una sostanziale pacatezza), è praticamente fisiologico che sia l'aspetto timbrico a ...
