In verità la componente jazzistica è tutt'altro che elusa, il che si avverte con chiarezza già nel ...

Samuel Blaser Consort in Motion: A Mirror to Machaut

Read "A Mirror to Machaut" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Swiss trombonist Samuel Blaser's largely mellower and investigative Consort in Motion differs from his acclaimed quartet's often hard- hitting and somewhat deviously entertaining persona for the hatOLOGY record label, partly due to French guitarist Marc Ducret's electrifying assaults. Thus, A Mirror to Machaut sheds additional light on Blaser's approach to composition, that coincides with a band ...

Benoît Delbecq and Fred Hersch Double Trio: Fun House

Read "Fun House" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Benoît Delbecq è un pianista di punta della scena europea, attratto tanto dal jazz quanto dalle astrazioni geometriche della musica contemporanea. Ma anche dalla poliritmia e dai timbri dell'Africa. Fred Hersch è uno dei rari pianisti che sono riusciti a operare una sintesi convincente tra Bill Evans e Thelonious Monk. Senza gli autocompiacimenti oggi tanto frequenti. ...
