Joel Harrison 7: Search
by Troy Collins
For over a decade, Joel Harrison has been steadily expanding his palette as a composer, although his penchant for unorthodox instrumental combinations and multicultural folk forms encompass only one facet of his inclusive aesthetic. Harrison's most recent efforts have borrowed heavily from Western neo-classical tenets; The Wheel (Innova, 2008) included an expansive five movement suite for ...
Ron Carter: The Right Notes, Alright
by R.J. DeLuke
There can't be any jazz musician or jazz listener who doesn't know Ron Carter and his standing as one of the most successful and influential bass players in the history of music in America. He's a musician of the highest order, with a rich, immediately identifiable sound that has resonated in the jazz world for some ...
Scott Tixier: Brooklyn Bazaar
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Violinist Scott Tixier is like a young fledgling poised to take off. This is a wondrous sight: arms (the wings) painfully outstretched, neck and, indeed, the whole body arched and on tip-toes, his bow swinging wildly as he flies off into the azure unknown. He is awkward at first; then sure that he will soar and ...
Erik Charlston: JazzBrasil
by AAJ Italy Staff
Come si evince dal titolo, JazzBrasil è un album incentrato sulla musica brasiliana, con un'attenzione particolare alla figura del compositore Hermeto Pascoal, dal repertorio del quale vengono interpretati sei degli otto brani in scaletta, scelti dal vibrafonista Erik Charlston per il suo debutto come leader. Charlston indaga insieme alla propria band - sestetto caratterizzato da dinamicità ...
Adam Cruz: Making Some Room
by R.J. DeLuke
Playing drums with some of the finest musicians around, touring the globe with them, and teaching music can be a lot on the plate of a person fortunate enough--and talented enough--to find themselves in that situation. In fact, that's a solid career.But for Adam Cruz--a much sought-after drummer on the New York City scene ...
Miles Okazaki: Figurations
by Mark F. Turner
Figurations is the final release in Miles Okazaki's three volume compositional cycle. Its trajectory is based on forward-thinking ideas Okazaki began on his self-produced 2006 debut Mirror, and continued on the nearly sixty-minute Generations (Sunnyside, 2009), which was recorded in the studio in one take. While no less demanding, this recording was commissioned and performed in ...
Ben Wendel: Frame
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ben Wendel ha alle spalle una discografia nutrita insieme ai Kneebody, il gruppo elettrico di cui fa parte. Frame è il suo secondo lavoro da leader dopo il debutto con Simple Song, sempre per la Sunnyside Records. Ciò che si ascolta qui, però, è lontano dalla produzione dei Kneebody, anche se due altri componenti della band, ...
Erik Charlston JazzBrasil: Essentially Hermeto
by Matt Cibula
Erik Charlston is not shy about revealing his main influence. Not only did he title this album Essentially Hermeto after the Brazilian multi-instrumentalist/composer/mystic Hermeto Pascoal, he even starts the first track with the kind of rustling ambient sound that Pascoal loves so much. Unlike Pascoal himself, who might use that sound for a few minutes or ...
Joel Harrison 7: Search
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il recente Holy Abyss con il bassista italiano Lorenzo Feliciati (pubblicato da Cuneiform pochi mesi fa) sembrava avere distolto almeno un po' il bravo chitarrista americano dal suo mondo fatto da incroci improbabili fra generi solitamente lontani come il jazz contemporaneo e la musica classica del novecento. Questo album intitolato Search, appena pubblicato dall'etichetta Sunnyside, gli ...
Scott Dubois: Landscape Scripture
by Troy Collins
Art inspired by work in another medium can be difficult to successfully resolve--the old adage, “dancing about architecture," comes to mind. In the hands of a truly talented and empathetic artist however, such creative cross-pollination can bear surprisingly fruitful results, occasionally developing new potential for expression beyond the preconceived limitations of each respective form.Landscape ...
