Barcelona Voll-Damm Jazz Festival Various Venues Barcelona October 29-November 3, 2013 A short quote, repeated to me more than once over the course of a few days in Barcelona, proved to be at the heart and soul of the 45th Barcelona Voll-Damm Internacional Jazz Festival.

Manuel Gutierrez: Illa Da Lua
by Bruce Lindsay
Manuel Gutierrez has built up a sizeable discography, but he's not previously released an album under his own name. Illa Da Lua is his debut as leader, but it's worth noting that the cover gives equal prominence to his rhythm section partners, bassist Tom Warburton and drummer Dani Dominguez.

by Enrique Turpin
No habrá que pasar por alto que la grabación de Hagar's Song no está producida por Manfred Eicher, sino por el propio Charles Lloyd junto con su mujer y mánager Dorothy Darr.

Marcos Pin Factor E-Reset: Barbanza

Pin focuses Barbanza on his strengths as an arranger who is well-versed in the vocabulary of ...
Marcos Pin Factor-E Reset: Barbanza
by Ian Patterson
Galician guitarist Marcos Pin has recorded in trio or quartet settings for a decade, so the dectet that interprets Barbanza represents a significant change in his modus operandi. Judging by the results though, you'd think he'd been composing for larger ensembles from the get go. Inspired by the Barbanza region of Galicia in north-west Spain, you ...
Jose James: No Beginning No End
by Enrique Turpin
Tal vez no sea intención de José James (Mineápolis, 1978) reemplazar a D'Angelo en el reinado del neo-soul que se empezó a fraguar a mediados de los años 90, pero puede que lo logre sin proponérselo. En su cuarto trabajo --y primero para Blue Note-- ha recuperado el testigo que seguía en el suelo a la ...
Stephan Micus: Panagia
by John Kelman
Almost like clockwork since 1983 (though he began his association with the label, on its subsidiary JAPO label, in 1977 with Implosions), multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus has been delivering albums to ECM every one-to-three years. His modus operandi is largely the same: continue to scour the world for rarely exposed ethnic instruments and use them in contexts ...
