Sean Noonan's Brewed by Noon: Boxing Dreams
by Matt Marshall
There's a solid history of jazz supplying the soundtrack for boxing. In fact, Jack Dempsey, and boxing in general, was one of the sporting kings of the jazz age. But while Miles Davis gamely tried to string boxing along as he pushed jazz forward, both art forms have seen better days--in terms of popularity--than those they ...
Michael Blake Sextet: Amor de Cosmos
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
With each release, saxophonist Michael Blake pushes himself in a different direction through composition, instrumentation and/or stylistic approach. On Amor de Cosmos, the native Canadian convened an all-Canuck sextet to perform compositions inspired by family memories and the local history of British Columbia, where he spent time as a child. In a departure for Blake, the ...
Tony Malaby Cello Trio: Warblepeck
by Jerry D'Souza
The old and the new come together on Warblepeck, saxophonist Tony Malaby's first CD as leader since 2003. Malaby has played previously with multi-instrumentalist John Hollenbeck, defining new paths and trajectories through music that has stirred and stimulated the senses. Neither of them had worked with Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello and electronics), who has made his own ...
Tony Malaby Cello Trio: Warblepeck
by Troy Collins
A ubiquitous presence in New York's fertile jazz scene, saxophonist Tony Malaby has appeared on over fifty albums since Sabino (Arabesque, 2000), his debut as a leader. With unfaltering drive and boundless creativity, his impassioned playing has graced numerous Downtown collectives, with early stints spent in Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra and Paul Motian's Electric Be-Bop ...
Michael Blake Sextet: Amor De Cosmos
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo tante collaborazioni e album americani, Michael Blake, canadese di nascita ma da sempre tra gli elementi più rappresentativi della scena Downtown newyorkese, decide di realizzare un disco con organico interamente canadese. Il titolo stesso rimanda alla storia del suo paese e ricorda quel William Alexander Smith, giornalista e politico canadese ottocentesco, che decise di farsi ...
Poolplayers: Way Below The Surface
by Martin Gladu
As its title suggests, the hour of music comprised in the Poolplayers' Way Below The Surface has listeners journey to some remote, foreign places. And, as the remotest places often prove inhospitable--if not for the rare thrill seekers--a certain amount of effort and discomfort is required to “get there."An experimental/avant-jazz/electronic effort between pianist Benoit ...
Poolplayers: Way Below the Surface
by AAJ Italy Staff
Poolplayers è un progetto nato dall’idea di Benoît Delbecq di mettere a confronto alcuni dei più interessanti improvvisatori della scena europea. Una musica lenta e introspettiva, quella di questo Way Below the Surface, quasi immobile, ad evocare atmosfere notturne e sotterranee di grande lirismo. Le strutture apparentemente semplici, sono in realtà più ermetiche e complesse, il ...
Ryan Blotnick: Music Needs You
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il giovane chitarrista americano Ryan Blotnick si presenta con questo suo primo album che lo vede fronteggiare un quintetto ben coeso che affronta con eleganza e ottimo senso dello spazio queste nove composizioni originali (una del saxofonista Pete Robbins, le altre del chitarrista) sospese fra jazz da camera ed educata modernità. La casa discografica è la ...
Jerry Granelli V16: The Sonic Temple - Monday and Tuesday

Il veterano Granelli ha chiamato al suo fianco, per l'occasione, il figlio J. ...
