Benoit Delbecq Trio: The Sixth Jump
by AAJ Italy Staff
Vi è la Madre Africa. “Ando," per esempio, si sviluppa attorno ad un ritmo tribale che rimanda a villaggi sperduti e tramonti rosso fuoco. Ma anche in altri brani risuonano echi di strumenti etnici sia percussivi (presenti nel armamentario di Emile Biayenda) sia cordofoni (il contrabbasso di Jean-Jacques Avenel suona talvolta come la kora proveniente dal ...
Brad Shepik Quartet: Across the Way
by AAJ Italy Staff
Across the Way è il primo lavoro discografico del nuovo quartetto di Brad Shepik, con Tom Beckham al vibrafono e Mark Guiliana alla batteria, che con lui hanno già condiviso la militanza in alcuni dei gruppi di Dave Douglas.

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se vi piace farvi cullare da dolci melodie sognando tramonti da sogno e natura incontaminata. Se ogni tanto vi intrigano atmosfere misteriose, un leggero brivido che vi corre lungo la schiena nell'inoltrarvi in una foresta sconosciuta e silenziosa. Se amate le trame semplici, immediate in superficie ma percorse da deviazioni e slittamenti interni, allora Canada Day ...
Equilibrium: Walking Voices
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sissel Vera Pettersen, norvegese, pensa che la musica degli Equilibrium debba essere, né più né meno, rappresentata da un prisma. Magari bucato da un raggio bianco che si trasforma in mille colori e in cui l'ascoltatore potrà scegliere di immergersi. Forse, migliore definizione della musica del trio non si poteva dare. La cantante-sassofonista ha gironzolato con ...
Thom Gossage Other Voices: In Other Words
by Matt Marshall
According to drummer Thom Gossage, the tracks on this, the fifth release by his Other Voices ensemble, are launched from a single figure--anything from a simple melodic line, to fully composed pieces of music, rhythm scores, electronic soundscapes, chants and poems--that are subsequently abstracted through an assemblage process. The idea came to him after viewing a ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II
by John Sharpe
Are life events audible in music? They would certainly seem to be in the case of Canadian drummer/composer Harris Eisenstadt. Half the tracks on Canada Day II were composed around the time of his son's birth. One track is dedicated to his youngster, and the genesis of two others was related to public schools, so Eisenstadt ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II
by Jerry D'Souza
When drummer Harris Eisenstadt debuted a new band on Canada Day 2007, he quite simply called it “Canada Day." Since then, Eisenstadt has nurtured the band through an open concept. He lets the musicians find their own voices, as they navigate his compositions and find a cohesive stream of tributaries that blend into one cohesive flow.
Brad Shepik Quartet: Across The Way
by Glenn Astarita
One of the modern day pioneers of integrating Balkan music into the progressive jazz vernacular, guitarist Brad Shepik's solo and session career spans a comprehensive panorama. He lingers on the cutting-edge of matters amid collaborations with like-minded artists, such as trumpeter Dave Douglas, reedman Chris Speed and other jazz VIPs. And on this quartet date, Shepik ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II
by Mark Corroto
If you believe most recordings by drummer/composers are positive statements, then Harris Eisenstadt's Canada Day II is more than a glass half full. It is a brimming cup of music. The disc follows 2009's Canada Day, on Portugal's Clean Feed label, with the same lineup. Eisenstadt infuses each recording with a buoyancy and high-spiritedness, ...
