Finlayson's performing credits include gigs with Ravi Coltrane, Steve Lehman, Mary Halvorson, Vijay Iyer, and many other notable artists. Not until 2013 did ...

Steve Lehman: Sélébéyone

Read "Sélébéyone" reviewed by Luca Canini


Due sarebbero i modi più appropriati e coscienziosi di iniziare questa recensione. Il primo: una rapida carrellata sui precedenti tentativi di contaminazione tra jazz e hip hop (entrambi i generi intesi nel senso più ampio e inclusivo possibile). Da Steve Coleman e Greg Osby alle lucide visioni di Mike Ladd e Vijay Iyer, dal Miles Davis ...

Steve Lehman & Sélébéyone: Sélébéyone

Read "Sélébéyone" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Steve Lehman's critically acclaimed albums have been topping national polls for more than half a decade. It's all the more an achievement when considering Lehman's unique, cerebral and ever-changing approach to artistic creation. His most recent project, Sélébéyone takes its name from this new group that Lehman founded in 2015. It incorporates elements of spectral music--where ...

Steve Lehman: Sélébéyone

Read "Sélébéyone" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The remastered edition of the Beastie Boys disc Check Your Head (Capitol, 2009) has a bonus disc with a live track from Budokan, Japan. A Japanese rapper, MC Poo, raps “Microphone Check" in broken English before continuing on in Japanese. Without the language, he knew what the Beasties were about and also without the Japanese language, ...

The Inner Spectrum of Variables

Read "The Inner Spectrum of Variables" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Ok, proviamoci. Proviamo a parlare di questo disco uscendo dalle convenzioni che di solito si adottano quando ci si pone di fronte a un percorso musicale come quello di Tyshawn Sorey. Sorey non dovrebbe avere bisogno di troppe presentazioni. Oddio, magari in un'Italia del jazz mediamente poco curiosa di quello che sta oltre ...

Damión Reid: On Drum Artistry, The Robert Glasper Trio, and Beyond

Read "Damión Reid: On Drum Artistry, The Robert Glasper Trio, and Beyond" reviewed by K. Shackelford


International drummer Damión Reid has crafted a style that is inimitable without sacrificing the ardor of modern jazz and its traditional stylistic approaches to drumming. Listening to Reid is like a history lesson on the drum--he can play everything with artful dexterity from Be-Bop to Hip Hop. Adrian Kirchler, owner of AK drums, was ...

Tyshawn Sorey: The Inner Spectrum of Variables

Read "The Inner Spectrum of Variables" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Tyshawn Sorey has realized a career's worth of accomplishments, accolades and appointments despite a professional resume that--with the exception of Vijay Iyer's Blood Sutra (Artist House, 2003)--is not quite ten years in the making. On the verge of his doctoral degree in composition at Columbia University, he has composed almost two-hundred works, and received the 2015 ...

Intervista a Gaetano Partipilo

Read "Intervista a Gaetano Partipilo" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


S'è formato nella fervida scena del jazz pugliese e nei corsi di Siena Jazz ma poco più che ventenne ha svolto le prime, significative, esperienze internazionali accanto a Dave Liebman, Greg Osby, Jason Moran, Nasheet Waits e altri protagonisti dell'innovazione, a New York sul finire degli anni Novanta.

Rich Brown: Abeng

Read "Abeng" reviewed by Dave Wayne


In jazz, it's all about the company you keep. The press accompanying bass virtuoso Rich Brown's third album, Abeng, specifically calls out Roy Ayers and Weather Report as musical reference points. And while there's a breath of Ayers' silky R&B feel to the slinky “Promessa," and though Brown's use of his fretless electric bass as a ...
