Twins of El Dorado: Portend the End

Read "Portend the End" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro
February 19, 2014

Il duo newyorchese (di Brooklyn, per l'esattezza) Twins of El Dorado sposa un abbinamento decisamente inusuale: voce e tromba. In questo album, inciso nel febbraio 2012, convergono composizioni (con l'elasticità che si deve usare in questi casi, dove l'improvvisazione gioca un ruolo assolutamente centrale) dovute ai due performer, con le eccezioni di “Fare Thee," la cui ...

The Belgian band Skordatura PunkJazz Ensemble chose an amalgamation of jazz, cross tuning, and punk as its sobriquet. ...

Birchall & Woolhouse: The Scenery of Life Unfolding

Read "The Scenery of Life Unfolding" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan
February 17, 2014

Piano trio albums--piano, bass and drums--may be the more common means of artistic expression in jazz, but piano/bass duet sets come long fairly often, too. Bassist Charlie Haden is a master of the approach, proof of which can be found on his teamings with pianists Keith Jarrett and Hank Jones on, respectively, Jasmine (ECM Records, 2011) ...

February 14, 2014

Polebridge è una piccola località del Montana a un tiro di schioppo da quel Canada da cui Rob Mosher, polistrumentista ad ancia e compositore, proviene (attualmente vive a Brooklyn). Con tutta evidenza immune da soverchi limiti stilistici, Mosher dichiara esplicitamente che il suo intento è mischiare un bel po' di cose insieme: musica da camera, o ...

Judy Philbin: Keeping It Simple

Read "Keeping It Simple" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey
February 13, 2014

Vocalist Judy Philbin and guitarist Adam Levine explore the close confines of the jazz vocals-guitar duo. From a production point of view the complexity lies less in the sonic alchemy that jazz is and more in the proper selection of songs to perform. A third of the songs are original compositions, two by Philbin alone and ...

by Edward Blanco
February 12, 2014

Brazilian son Paulinho Garcia may not be an immediately recognizable figure in the jazz world today and that is largely by design as he eschews the limelight in favor of being behind the scenes producing concerts, working with other artists and serving as a clinician. A fine vocalist and guitarist, Garcia is no novice with several ...
