Cuong Vu Trio With Pat Metheny: Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny

Read "Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


There's a bit of a role reversal going on with this one. Trumpeter Cuong Vu--a Pat Metheny devotee from the time he first heard the guitarist's Travels (ECM, 1983) as a teenager--eventually came to join the Pat Metheny Group, enhancing the sound of the band on a pair of Grammy-winning albums: Speaking Of Now (Warner Bros. ...

Andy Manndorff: Dirt & Soil

Read "Dirt & Soil" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Il nome di Andy Manndorff potrebbe risultare ai più sconosciuto ed anche in Austria, dove risiede, non ha mai raggiunto la notorietà che il talento e le importanti collaborazioni (la prestigiosa Vienna Art Orchestra e il pianista olandese Jasper van't Hof tra gli altri), avrebbero meritato. Il motivo? Difficile individuare una sola causa ma certamente lo ...

Jessica Jones Quartet: Moxie

Read "Moxie" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Moxie is both an extension of tenor saxophonist Jessica Jones' previous work and a glimpse back to an earlier point in her career: she continues to explore the possibilities inherent in a piano-less quartet with a two-tenor front line while reuniting with a rhythm duo that she worked with in the '80s--bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer ...

Myra Melford: Snowy Egret

Read "Snowy Egret" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Snowy Egret fa parte di un ampio e ambizioso progetto articolato in immagini, performance di danza, recitazione e musica, denominato Language of Dreams e ispirato a “Memory of Fire" trilogia sulla storia delle Americhe dell'autore uruguaiano Eduardo Galeano. In linea con l'estetica della pianista di Chicago la musica di Snowy Egret risulta sofisticata, rigorosa nelle sue ...
