Mattias Stahl : gli album che sto ascoltando
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Thelonious Monk, Solo Monk, (Columbia, 1965). Ritorno sempre a questo disco, ascolto un sacco di Bach ma dopo un po' ho bisogno di qualcosa per staccare e Monk è la ricetta. E lo preferisco in solo o in trio. 2. Getatchew Mekurya, Negus of Ethiopian Sax , (Philips, 1970).

John Patitucci Trio: Live In Europe
by Mike Jurkovic
Bassist/composer/arranger John Patitucci's intensive sessionography is so vast and amplified by just a smattering of the names he has brought to his triple A+ game to-- Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Nora Jones, Monty Alexander, Warren Zevon, Lynne Arriale, Connie Han--it is rather easy to forget what a true monster he is on both electric and double ...
Donald Fagen: An Essential Top 10 Albums
by Peter Jones
Actually, the whole notion of a Donald Fagen Top Ten is tricky.

The process of selecting the ...

Contemporary Records 70th: Barney Kessel and Hampton Hawes on vinyl
by C. Andrew Hovan
Almost a century ago, times were different and folks with the gumption to forge their own paths were more likely to make a mark on history. When you think of the documentation of jazz, names like John Hammond, Francis Wolff, and Ahmet Ertegun were integral to spreading the word of America's unique art form. Far less ...
Henry Franklin: Jazz Is Dead 14
by Chris May
Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad's Jazz Is Dead label is a moveable feast when it comes to consistency. In its fourteen albums date, there have been some great ones, some not so great ones and a couple of duds. With bassist Henry Franklin, however, the label has come up with a blinder, its most satisfying ...
