Michael Cain: Solo

by Mark F. Turner
November 3, 2011

A yawn can spontaneously develop when hearing about another solo release in which the unaccompanied music can, at times, result in a monochrome listening experience. But in the case of Michael Cain's Solo, a savvy work of acoustic piano with electronic manipulations, the outcome is--to coin a very dated phrase--in Technicolor. Cain who ...

March 8, 2011

Erano anni che non ascoltavamo un debutto tanto significativo. Chris Donnelly l'ha registrato nel 2008, poco più che ventenne, guadagnandosi vari ricoscimenti e accreditandosi tra i migliori jazzmen del suo Paese. Oggi è professore all'Università di Toronto ed ha appena registrato un secondo lavoro (Metamorphosis) ispirato ai disegni di Escher. Per un giovane pianista iniziare con ...

Pianist Vijay Iyer may be one of the great ones; only time will tell. The pianist has risen to become a critics' darling, mostly on the basis of his quartet outings, including the much-lauded Reimagining (Savoy Jazz, 2005) and Tragicomic (Sunnyside Records, 2008). He's worked a trio magic, to, -with his piano/saxophone/drums Fieldwork group, on the ...

Vijay Iyer: Solo

September 27, 2010

Il suo è un tocco pesante e deciso. Immagina gli 88 tasti del pianoforte come gli attrezzi di una palestra. Dopo i fasti dell'acclamato Historicity, Vijay Iyer doveva andare da solo. E per farlo non poteva che mettere a fuoco la sua forza, la sua dirompenza, il tocco cristallino e rotondo: doveva irrobustire le tessiture con ...

Vijay Iyer's trio album, Historicity (ACT, 2009), brought the pianist much critical acclaim and saw him awarded the 2010 Jazz Journalist Association Musician Of The Year. Solo finds Iyer on his own for the first time, on a collection that encompasses jazz standards, a contemporary pop classic and five of Iyer's own original compositions. It's a ...

by Ian Patterson
August 11, 2010

The title of Australian jazz guitarist James Sherlock's Solo is deceptively simple, because these eleven selections reveal a guitarist and arranger of uncommon sensitivity and advanced technique. Sherlock, perhaps aware of the challenge of concentrating on a single instrument, offers up only 35 minutes of music. However, the performance is absolutely captivating, and only whets the ...
