Steve Lehman: Manifold

Read "Manifold" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Un ottimo repertorio, quattro musicisti di grande sensibilità e intelligenza, una torrida serata portoghese e un'etichetta che raramente sbaglia un colpo. Che altro chiedere a un disco jazz? Registrato dal vivo durante il festival lusitano di Coimbra, Manifold è l'ennesima prova della maturità raggiunta da quel piccolo grande talento di Steve Lehman. Un lavoro asciutto e ...

Michel Edelin Trio: Kuntu

Read "Kuntu" reviewed by John Sharpe


Perennially unfashionable and plagued by perceptions of insufficient heft and timbral variation, it's not surprising that flute-based trios are rarer than an apologetic banker. Not that this troubles the Paris-based RogueArt label, as straight after the Indigo Trio's Anaya (2009) comes another, this time under the direction of flautist Michel Edelin. Past associations for the Frenchman ...

Read "Manifold" reviewed by Stuart Broomer


In just a few years, Steve Lehman has established a remarkable track record as a saxophonist, bandleader and composer. This quartet recording is drawn from performances recorded in 2007 in Coimbra, a small city in central Portugal.
