Steve Olson: Conversations
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 ...
Tas Cru: You Keep the Money
by C. Michael Bailey
"This ain't your mama and daddy's blues, no. It ain't no Son House...“ For his fifth release of original material, guitarist Tas Cru explores every blues nook and cranny there is. An even dozen songs provides Cru with the creative fodder to display the contemporary funk of the title piece, to the minor-key ...
Christian Pabst Trio + 7: Song of Opposites
by Vincenzo Roggero
Interessante la configurazione dell'ensemble adottata dal pianista tedesco Christian Pabst nella realizzazione di Song of Opposites. Il collaudato piano-trio del leader viene affiancato in cinque brani da un trio di archi, in un paio di brani da un trio di fiati, mentre “Point Ephemere" vede all'opera l'ensemble al gran completo con l'ulteriore apporto di una voce. ...

Akua Dixon: Akua Dixon
by Dan Bilawsky
Cellist Akua Dixon has been at it for decades: She's performed with jazz royalty like Duke Ellington, penned arrangements for non-jazz giants like Lauryn Hill and Aretha Franklin, and recorded with everybody from trumpet titan Dizzy Gillespie to trombonist Steve Turre to David Byrne, the beyond-category former frontman of the Talking Heads. Unfortunately, all of that ...
Angelo Hart: Intrepid
by Karl Ackermann
Pianist and composer Angelo Hart describes the music on his debut album Intrepid as an amalgam of avant-garde jazz, classicism, modernism and impressionism. Throw in the occasional touches of free jazz and the description is accurate--though daunting on paper--and fairly successful upon listening. The Phoenix, Arizona native cites John Coltrane as an early influence but his ...
Jay Smith Group: Too Many Notes
by Glenn Astarita
Based in Bakersfield, CA, keyboardist, composer Jay Smith's second album is titled Too Many Notes via comments by his fan base, alluding to his often blazing phraseology on the 88s. Nonetheless, Smith possesses an active mind as the program boasts a cornucopia of bop, jazz fusion, Latin jazz, rock, pulsating cadences and explosive flights of fancy. ...
Chantale Gagné: The Left Side Of The Moon
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Chantale Gagné isn't afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve. With each release she's become more demonstrative in the manner in which she presents her music. Silent Strength (Self Produced, 2008) was her first step, and the first look at how she functioned with the high-end rhythm section of drummer Lewis Nash and bassist ...

Nobuki Takamen: Solo Guitar
by Mark Sullivan
Jazz guitarist Nobuki Takamen plays like someone with nothing to prove as he takes on that most difficult challenge: a truly solo jazz recording, with no overdubbing or electronics. His playing throughout is confident and mature, with no extraneous display. Which is not to say that his technique is lacking: the opener “Someday" effortlessly goes from ...
