Memories in Motian
by Zeno De Rossi
Poco dopo aver appreso la triste notizia della morte di Paul Motian, avvenuta il 22 novembre 2011, ho sentito la forte esigenza di ri-tuffarmi in profondità nella sua musica. In seguito, dopo aver letto un toccante scritto di Ellery Eskelin (pubblicato sul suo sito e riportato qui di seguito), pensai che sarebbe stato ...
Steve Cardenas: Melody in a Dream
by Angelo Leonardi
Steve Cardenas è un chitarrista meno considerato di quello che dovrebbe, nonostante il talento indiscutibile e la considerazione che gode tra i colleghi: è stato a lungo membro dell'Electric Bebop Band di Paul Motian, della Liberation Music Orchestra di Charlie Haden e collabora stabilmente con i gruppi di Joey Baron, Ben Allison e Steve Swallow.
Practice, Do You? Part 3-3
by Dom Minasi
Continued from Part 2 I began studying the guitar when I was seven years old. I hated my teacher and I didn't practice much, but when I changed teachers' and I went to Joe Geneli, I regained a love for the guitar that I first had when I was four years old when I ...

by C. Michael Bailey
Simin Tander Where Water Travels Home Jazzhaus 2014 German-Afghani vocalist and composer Simin Tander follows up her well-received debut recording Wagma (Neuklang, 2011).

Brenda Earle Stokes: Right About Now
by Dan Bilawsky
Is Brenda Earle Stokes primarily a vocalist, a composer, or a pianist? That's an unanswerable question if ever there was one. The marketplace typically forces artists to list their chief credential first, making it easier to categorize and pigeonhole them, but that's a problem for Stokes; she's equally talented in all three areas, as demonstrated throughout ...
The Nels Cline Singers: Macroscope
by Maurizio Comandini

Ma se per caso qualcuno si fosse distratto negli ultimi trent'anni, arriva oggi un segnale che non si può ignorare: con questo Macroscope il chitarrista californiano riafferma il suo posto di riguardo nella lista dei dieci chitarristi più interessanti della sua ...
Steve Cardenas: Melody in a Dream
by Gabriel Medina Arenas
Melody in a Dream is a humble tribute to Steve Cardenas' mentors and music heroes. The Kansas City guitarist who moved to New York City in 1995 pays his respects to figures like late piano genius Thelonius Monk, avant-garde drummer Joey Baron(who is his sideman in this album), the deceased drummer Paul Motian and pianist Horace ...
Ben Allison: The Stars Look Very Different Today
by Vic Albani
Ibrido e crossover da sempre, il contrabbassista statunitense Ben Allison è uno di quei musicisti che--altrettanto da sempre--è caratterizzato dall'iper-classica etichetta “o lo ami o lo odi." Sinceramente, almeno io, non riesco a comprendere perché. Credo invece che, disco dopo disco, Ben sia riuscito a costruirsi un personalissimo stile compositivo e--quel che più importa--un altrettanto personalissimo ...
Ben Allison: The Stars Look Very Different Today
by Troy Collins
Conservatory-educated jazz musicians often follow a similar developmental path as they mature, typically expanding the relatively narrow focus of their academic training to reexamine the non-jazz related music styles that initially inspired them. Take the young lions of the pre-millennial era for example; most have extended their purview beyond straight-ahead hard bop to incorporate aspects of ...

Best known for his fifteen-year tenure in the Brian Blade Fellowship--with whom he has recorded four outstanding albums--Cowherd has also played and recorded with singers such as Rosanne Cash, Cassandra Wilson, Iggy Pop and Joni Mitchell.
