Michael Blake: Tiddy Boom

Read "Tiddy Boom" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini


Michael Blake cita espressamente tre sassofonisti nelle rarefatte note di copertina di questo album: Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young e Ross Taggart. I primi due sono la fonte di ispirazione di questo eccellente Tiddy Boom, mentre Taggart viene menzionato soprattutto per ricordarne la figura, di recente scomparsa. Ma non sarebbe sbagliato tirare fuori dall'armadio anche ...

Steve Cardenas: Melody in a Dream

Read "Melody in a Dream" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Steve Cardenas è un chitarrista meno considerato di quello che dovrebbe, nonostante il talento indiscutibile e la considerazione che gode tra i colleghi: è stato a lungo membro dell'Electric Bebop Band di Paul Motian, della Liberation Music Orchestra di Charlie Haden e collabora stabilmente con i gruppi di Joey Baron, Ben Allison e Steve Swallow.

Hush Point: Hush Point

Read "Hush Point" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Se tra i dieci brani contenuti in Hush Point due portano la firma di Jimmy Giuffre, se la front-line del quartetto pianoless è formato da tromba e sax, e se il trombettista del gruppo ha mosso i primi passi nella California degli anni sessanta, qualche indizio su quello che si andrà ad ascoltare ci viene pur ...

Read "Stairway to the Stars" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Pianist Denny Zeitlin's Stairway to the Stars recording sparkles to life on the familiar Great American Songbook jewel, “There Will Never Be Another You."

John Escreet: Sound, Space and Structures

Read "Sound, Space and Structures" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Inciso a fine settembre 2013, questo lavoro del trentenne pianista inglese John Escreet, autore della suite in nove parti che lo compone, vanta anzitutto il non indifferente dono della partecipazione di Evan Parker, musicista generoso che non ha mai lesinato la propria adesione a prove discografiche e concertistiche di musicisti anche--come si suol dire--emergenti o di ...

For Living Lovers: Brandon Ross, Stomu Takeishi: Revealing Essence

Read "Revealing Essence" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Un duo doppiamente sorprendente, questo dei For Living Lovers, tra due musicisti prestigiosi e noti soprattutto per le loro collaborazioni in organici ampi e ad alta intensità dinamica, primi tra tutti quelli di Henry Threadgill, nei quali si sono conosciuti. E che qui, invece, dialogano tra loro in forma soffusa, intima, lirica. Le ...

Stephan Crump's Rosetta Trio: Thwirl

Read "Thwirl" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Some groups just have chemistry, no matter what their instrumentation or musical background. Something about them just works. Stephan Crump's Rosetta Trio is one such group. Comprised of two guitarists-one electric and one acoustic-plus Crump's own resonant acoustic bass, the Rosetta Trio straddles the worlds of jazz, avant garde, and modern folk music with consummate ease ...
