Ricordiamo Michael Brecker
by Angelo Leonardi
Sono trascorsi più di dieci anni dalla morte di Michael Brecker, avvenuta il 13 gennaio 2007, il giorno dopo quella di Alice Coltrane. Brecker è stato il massimo e più influente sax tenore post-coltraniano ed è quanto mai doveroso ricordarne la vita e il percorso artistico. Il 25 gennaio di quest'anno la comunità jazzistica ...
Eliane Elias: Dance of Time
by Jeff Winbush
Two years ago, Eliane Elias released Made In Brazil (Concord, 2015) and all it did was win the 2016 Grammy for Best Latin Album. It's a great album and with Dance of Time, Elias hasn't repeated a successful formula; she's perfected it. This is an opulent recording, rich in its authenticity and lavish in its glorious ...
The Donny McCaslin Group at The Arden Gild Hall
by Mike Jacobs
The Donny McCaslin Group Arden Gild Hall Arden, Delaware January 14, 2017 Arden Delaware isn't exactly known as a jazz mecca but, with the coming of the Donny McCaslin Group to the Arden Gild Hall, it became one--for a little while at least. And in the best jazz traditions, the show ...
Paul Winter Sextet: Count Me In
by Duncan Heining
The Paul Winter Sextet might just be one of the best early sixties groups you never heard. Their story, and that of their leader and altoist Paul Winter's, is certainly one of the most remarkable in jazz. Had some director made a film of the Sextet's short life, jazz buffs would have scoffed at the conceit. ...

Steven Wilson at Theatre St-Denis
by John Kelman
Steven WilsonThéâtre St-Denis Montréal, Canada March 2, 2016 Perhaps one of the biggest signs of multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson's continued upward trajectory is this: less than nine months after selling out two nights at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal in 2015, he brought his top- drawer band back to Montreal ...
Peter Erskine: Dr. Um
by Dan Bilawsky
It would appear that this project has awakened the Peter Erskine of yore, the drummer who became legend while cresting the waves of fusion with Weather Report and Steps Ahead. In recent years Erskine's drumming has been spare, elegant, open, and, in enough instances, lightly swinging. If one word would come to mind ...
Wayne Shorter: The Blue Note Albums
by Maurizio Zerbo
Cinque ore di musica sublime per immergersi nell'universo shorteriano. Per i palati sopraffini, un'occasione imperdibile per riascoltare alcune delle gemme del catalogo Blue Note. Cosa distingue queste dalle coeve incisioni hard-bop? Come ben testimonia The All Seeing Eye, è il proiettare le più avanzate idee melodiche, armoniche e ritmiche del quintetto davisiano verso atmosfere più sospese ...
