John Scofield: Country for Old Men
by Maurizio Comandini

Carla Bley: Shoe Leather, Mystery & Moxie
by Ian Patterson
This article was first published at All About Jazz on July 28, 2016. With the passing of time. That's roughly how the title of Carla Bley's second trio album for ECM translates. Bley turned eighty a few months before the release of Andando el Tiempo but the passing years, if anything, have sharpened her ...
Glauco Venier si racconta con Miniatures
by Giuseppe Segala
Miniatures è un piano solo. Ma è anche qualcosa di più, per il modo in cui sono state inserite nel tessuto narrativo le sculture sonore azionate dallo stesso Glauco Venier e per come sono saldate al pensiero che sorregge la musica. La musica respira anche attraverso il dialogo tra pianoforte e sculture sonore, che tracciano una ...
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival 2016
by John Kelman
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival Ottawa, Canada June 22 -July 3, 2016 It's hard to believe, with seasons that move quickly from spring into summer, that it was time, once again, for the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival. Now in its 36th year, the festival has grown from a weekend event into a full-blown, ...
Pete La Roca: Basra - 1965
by Marc Davis
When drummer Pete La Roca recorded Basra in 1965, the Iraq war was decades away. Today, the name Basra evokes memories of the 2003 invasion. A recording called Basra in 2016 would probably make listeners think of Saddam Hussein. Not a good association. But in 1965? It was just an exotic-sounding, Middle Eastern name.
Steve Kuhn: At This Time...
by Budd Kopman
The wonderful and deeply satisfying At This Time... brings together pianist Steve Kuhn leading a trio comprised of electric bassist Steve Swallow and the ubiquitous (and always smiling drummer) Joey Baron. The immediate impulse for the recording was an extended set by this trio at Birdland, in New York City in 2015. Swallow and ...
Carla Bley: Andando el Tiempo
by John Kelman
A few months shy of three years following the release of Trios (ECM, 2013), composer/keyboardist and NEA Jazz Master Carla Bley returns with Andando el Tiempo, an album of largely introspective music that shares much with its predecessor, but also acts as a flip side of the same coin. Like Trios, Andando el Tiempo ...
Carla Bley & Jack DeJohnette: ECM Trios
by Mark Sullivan
Two different approaches to the trio, led by veteran ECM bandleaders. Big band composer/pianist Carla Bley continues her recent run of chamber ensemble recordings, reconvening her trio with saxophonist Andy Sheppard and bassist Steve Swallow, most recently heard on Trios (ECM, 2013). The grouping gives much more focus on her piano playing than her large group ...
