Jamie Baum Septet: Solace

Read "Solace" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Solace è un album sugli equilibri. Principalmente tra scrittura e improvvisazione - il brano dedicato a Kenny Wheeler e la mini suite ispirata a Charles Ives sono lì a testimoniarlo - ma anche tra musica d’insieme e momenti solistici, tra acustico ed elettrico, tra forma e libertà, tra conservazione e ricerca. Il settetto allestito dalla flautista, ...

Claudio Roditi: Impressions

Read "Impressions" reviewed by Dr. Judith Schlesinger

by Dr. Judith Schlesinger

This CD is not for Coltrane purists: they might be horrified when the master's compositions ride in on a Brazilian beat. But for those who are merely fans, Impressions offers a tuneful and intriguing alchemy, as classics like “Moment's Notice," “Naima," and “Giant Steps" are interpreted by a top Carioca quintet. This is especially enjoyable when ...

Alyssa Graham: Echo

Read "Echo" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Jazz is a paradox that is both compromising and uncompromising. It is compromising as an assimilating art, one that absorbs all influences that touch it. It is uncompromising that jazz demands virtuosity and creativity. It is this paradox that allows the genre to contain both a Sarah Vaughan and Dianna Krall, and a Grant Green and ...

Scott Dubois: Banshees

Read "Banshees" reviewed by Terrell Kent Holmes

by Terrell Kent Holmes

Scott Dubois thrives on mercuriality. The guitarist-composer writes and plays with a starkness and moodiness that suits him perfectly, as displayed on Banshees. The shifts of focus and varying tempos make the music as fluid and intriguing as a Dalì painting. Dubois shows off his Metheny-influenced licks on “Mid to the West” ...

Read "Runaway" reviewed by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

A George Colligan record is an audio guarantee of superior musicianship and his extensive resume proves why: he plays several instruments, has collaborated with an impressive roster of luminaries and dons different hats, not only that of a musician, but that of a bandleader and instructor at Juilliard. Runaway, his second Sunnyside ...

Fernando Huergo: Provinciano

Read "Provinciano" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Without reading the press kit or liners prior to a first listen, something unique is readily apparent about Argentinean bassist/composer/educator Fernando Huergo's modernistic amalgamation of modern jazz and tango. An instructor at Tufts University and Assistant Professor in the Bass Department at Berklee College of Music, Huergo surpasses the traditional forms of ethnocentric Latin song structures ...
