Jerome Sabbagh and Greg Tuohey: No Filter
by Peter J. Hoetjes
So much regard is given to audio quality in the 21st century that there has become something of an obsession with purity." A desire for music that has no digital manipulation, no computers layering sounds together. As co-band leaders, Jerome Sabbagh and Greg Tuohey resolved to attain this quality on No Filter by recording the album ...
Frank Kimbrough: Monk's Dreams: The Complete Compositions of Thelonious Sphere Monk
by Victor L. Schermer
Thelonious Monk, though controversial in his time, was a brilliant, innovative pianist and composer with a unique way of conceiving the music that was yet remarkably simpatico with standard forms. Many of his compositions (they are much more than tunes," though I'll use that word here as shorthand) have become a regular part of the jazz ...
Steve Kuhn Trio: To and From the Heart
by Peter J. Hoetjes
Now an octogenarian, Steve Kuhn's career has in 2018 spanned nearly sixty years, never having a long lull of time without recording new music. It becomes something of a marvel then that after all this time, the pianist still finds something new to say; he is still able to surprise listeners with songs they don't expect ...
Allison Miller, Carmen Staaf: Science Fair
by Claudio Bonomi
La voglia di mettersi in gioco queste due brave jazziste non l'hanno mai persa, anzi ha sempre fatto parte del loro DNA. La batterista Allison Miller, veterana della scena jazz newyorchese e nota anche per le sue incursioni nella musica pop con Ani DiFranco e Natalie Merchant, incontra la giovanissima pianista Carmen Staaf nel 2015 quando ...
Walking Distance feat. Jason Moran: Freebird
by Glenn Astarita
New York-based Walking Distance garners the benefits of upper echelon pianist Jason Moran appearing on select tracks. The ensemble sparks memories of older, Charlie Parker-inspired ensembles like Supersax, featuring saxophonists Warne Marsh, Med Flory and many others. But this young band doesn't mimic or perform hard bop with a strict allegiance to the infancy of this ...
Andy Milne & Dapp Theory: The Seasons of Being
by Glenn Astarita
From a scientific stance, the jury may still be out on homeopathic treatments via a wealth of published material--a subject well beyond the scope of this article. However, estimable jazz pianist Andy Milne (Steve Coleman, Ravi Coltrane) has reaped positive homeopathic benefits while fighting prostate cancer. Per the marketing info on Sunnyside's website: Milne's positive experiences ...
Laszlo Gardony: Serious Play
by Angelo Leonardi
Questo solo piano di Laszlo Gardony segue l'approccio usato nel 2013 in Clarity, quando, dopo vent'anni, riprese a incidere un disco senza accompagnatori (Changing Standards, Sunnyside 1993). Trasferitosi negli Stati Uniti alla fine degli anni ottanta per frequentare il Berklee College of Music (di cui poi è divenuto insegnante), il pianista ungherese realizzò alla fine di ...
Mikkel Ploug & Mark Turner: Faroe

With Faroe, Ploug presents thirteen original compositions written or rearranged specifically to telescope their bond(s), explore the very essence of the ...
Edward Simon: Sorrows & Triumphs
by Friedrich Kunzmann
Following in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed eponymous debut record (Red Records) and subsequent sophomore outing Océanos (Criss Cross Records), in 2007, Edward Simon has now once more gathered together the power quartet Afinada, featuring Brian Blade on drums, David Binney on sax and bassist Scott Colley. With the addition of the Imani Winds chamber ...
Michael Leonhart: The Painted Lady Suite
by Angelo Leonardi
A trent'anni esatti dalla scomparsa di Gil Evans, la sua lezione orchestrale rivive e si alimenta di nuove suggestioni. Il sorprendente e straordinario debutto della Michael Leonhart Orchestra rinnova un'estetica che in questi decenni ha ispirato Maria Schneider, in parte Darcy James Argue e alimentato la ricerca filologica e la rielaborazione di Ryan Truesdell.
