Save the Date - Agosto 2015
by Luca Canini
Agosto, festival miei non vi conosco. Mentre al di là delle Alpi è tempo di gustosissime abbuffate (Willisau, Saalfelden, Mulhouse, Lisbona: fatevi un giro sui siti dei giganti europei), in Italia impazzano le sagre balneari e gli eventi vacanzieri. Poco da salvare. E francamente fa una certa tristezza leggere i programmi di rassegne ...

by Luca Canini
Dopo la vacanza forzata di giugno, organizzata all'ultimo vista la sconfortante carenza di spunti degni di nota, torna Save The Date, l'agenda mensile di All About Jazz dedicata agli appuntamenti imperdibili.

Emanuele Maniscalco, Francesco Bigoni, Mark Solborg: Maniscalco Bigoni Solborg
by Vincenzo Roggero
Potremmo definirla con un termine di frequente usato e talvolta abusato improvvisazione da camera, per la pacatezza dell'ambientazione sonora, per la cura maniacale delle dinamiche, per l'assoluto controllo degli strumenti mai sopra le righe, per il rigore formale che pervade l'opera. Potremmo ma... sarebbe un torto nei confronti di un lavoro che va ben oltre i ...

by Dave Wayne
Wonders never cease. When Newswok first arrived in the mail, my first question was not “What the hell does 'Newswok' mean?" It was “Who is Giancarlo Tossani, and why is Ralph Alessi playing with him?" I was also alarmed that I had never heard of the record label, Auand Records, before. This despite the fact that ...

Andy Sheppard: Tales From the Bristol Underground Jazz Revolution
by Ian Patterson
"Jazz has always been an underground thing. It doesn't have the power and might of opera, but it should," says Andy Sheppard, shortly after the UK premier of Surrounded by Sea (ECM, 2015) at the Bristol Jazz & Blues Festival. “Everyone in the music industry has a respect for jazz music, and they should, I think, ...
Gary Burton: A Lifetime of Collaborations
by Chris M. Slawecki
This interview was first published at All About Jazz in April 1999. Vibraphonist, composer and teacher, Gary Burton was among the first modern jazz musicians to come out of the fertile American Midwestern musical ground from which Pat Metheny and others later grew.

Vocalist Susan Krebs and her musical friends have been putting together thematically-programmed salon concerts in living rooms and small venues for a number of years.
