by Raul d'Gama Rose

He has collaborated with the renowned conductor, Kent Nagano in a series of concerts in Germany, and has toured with Cuban drummer, Ignacio Berroa, electronica artist, Daedelus and rapper, Snoop Dog.

Roswell Rudd Quartet: Keep Your Heart Right
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sarebbe facile ascoltare con sufficienza questo “banale" disco di canzoni, all'apparenza un CD di jazz moderno come tanti. Sarebbe facile trascurare l'ottimo lavoro svolto dal pianista Lafayette Harris e dal bassista Bradley Jones, ma anche la lucentezza della voce e l'efficacia espressiva della cantante di origini sudcoreane Sunny Kim. Fortunatamente, sottovalutare tutto quanto di buono c'è ...
Diego Barber: Calima
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Very few contemporary musicians imbue Impressionism in the truly classical sense of the term. And of those who do qualify, fewer still play the guitar. Ralph Towner does come to mind and his is a living legacy and tribute to this enduring movement. Egberto Gismonti--especially with his masterpiece Musica de Sobrevivencia (ECM, 1993)--is probably the epitome ...
Abdullah Ibrahim: Senzo
by Reid Jagger
On the solo piano Senzo, South African-born pianist Abdullah Ibrahim is heard in fine form on 21 compositions, with Duke Ellington's “In a Sentimental Mood" the only standard in the bunch. Though each track bears a different title, Ibrahim allows the pieces to flow together using creative modulations and segues. On the whole, Senzo further solidifies ...
Abdullah Ibrahim: Senzo
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Any record by Abdullah Ibrahim is always an event to look forward to, often with bated breath as he always turns in something quite breathtaking. Ibrahim has done this with Good News from Africa (Enja, 1973), Water from an Ancient Well (Ekapa/Tiptoe, 1985), the exquisite orchestral work African Suite (Ekapa/Tiptoe, 1998), and several others. The thrilling ...
Diego Barber: Calima
by Mark F. Turner
Calima conveys the idea of observing a breathtaking peninsula. Its impressions of expanse, tranquility and scenery are musically presented by Diego Barber, a gifted classically trained jazz guitarist who draws inspiration from both Bach and Miles Davis, but whose music contains visions that are uniquely his own. Barber's exquisite playing has the refinement ...
Jay Clayton: The Peace of Wild Things
by Florence Wetzel
Innovative singer Jay Clayton has forged a career out of taking chances and exploring the possibilities inherent in the human voice. The Peace of Wild Things is a subtly adventurous mix of voice, electronics and poetry. Each of the nine songs features a poem; five are by the renowned poet E.E. Cummings, with others by jazz ...
Mike Holober & The Gotham Jazz Orchestra: Quake
by Elliott Simon
Duke Ellington's legacy is alive and well with pianist Mike Holober and The Gotham Jazz Orchestra. Holober makes use of the increased musical scope that 17 pieces give him to weave compositional strength within a sound that sways more than swings. Some of the finest jazzers New York City has to offer join ...
Roswell Rudd: Keep Your Heart Right
by Fred Bouchard
Ruby Braff once described a jazz combo as “conversation among friends." Venerated veteran trombonist Roswell Rudd rates prime candidacy for Mister Congeniality as he relaxes in witty repartee and pleasant banter with like-thinking colleagues: stalwart-yet-light-fingered pianist Lafayette Harris Jr., orotund bassist Brad Jones and singer Sunny Kim, a dew-dappled voice of reason and cheer. Rudd, self-styled ...
Denny Zeitlin Trio: In Concert
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The art of the trio--piano, bass and drums--is an especially challenging prospect when considering that all three instruments play an essentially rhythmic role in almost any form of music. Thus, utilizing the harmonic extent of those instruments precludes extraordinary understanding of the finite possibilities of each with a view to extending these into the realm of ...
