by AAJ Italy Staff
È dedicato al violinista e compositore romeno George Enescu [qui Enesco secondo il nome alla francese] questo interessante progetto condiviso dal pianista Lucian Ban - connazionale del compositore - e dal contrabbassista John Hébert [che molti ricorderanno con Andrew Hill e ora, tra gli altri, con Mary Halvorson].

Harriet Tubman: Ascension
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The raison d'être for the band, Harriet Tubman, is an almost aching musical yearning for a complete freedom. It is a freedom from genre and certainly on Ascension, complete freedom from style as well as style. This what the 20th Century Spanish poet and playwright, Federico Garcia-Lorca described as the heart of duende, a holistic alternative ...
Abdullah Ibrahim & Ekaya: Sotho Blue
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The music of pianist Abdullah Ibrahim has lit up the world, shining brightly in the darkest recesses of the mind for decades. It has sung proud through the apartheid era, helping to clench the fist of protest tighter and the voice of human freedom sing louder. Now that the walls of segregation (at least in South ...
Harriet Tubman: Ascension
by Mark Corroto
It has been forty-six years since John Coltrane took his expanded ensemble into a studio to record Ascension (Impulse!, 1965), and many believe the jazz world has yet to come to grips with its significance and meaning. It has only been eleven years since the power trio Harriet Tubman, expanded into the Harriet Tubman Double Trio, ...

David Caceres: Double Threat Coming Forward
by R.J. DeLuke
The singer/instrumentalist in jazz has a long and honorable tradition. Many of those, though certainly not all, are more known for their singing than playing, especially in the last 20 years or so. But almost universally, they're enjoyed for what they can do, breathing a certain joie de vivre into songs by expressing the lyrics, then ...
John McNeil - Bill McHenry: Chill Morn He Climb Jenny
by AAJ Italy Staff
Da qualche anno il quartetto capitanato da John McNeil e Bill McHenry è impegnato nella riproposizione degli standard meno frequentati della letteratura jazzistica. Dopo Rediscovery, in Chill the Morn He Climb Jenny troviamo ancora in primo piano la tradizione del jazz che il quartetto omaggia ed al tempo stesso rivisita creativamente. Scongiurando le trappole dell'omogeneità interpretativa ...
Joel Harrison String Choir: The Music of Paul Motian
by John Kelman
Joel Harrison has stretched the boundaries of form and freedom for over fifteen years, but Urban Myths (HighNote, 2009) and, in particular, the ambitious The Wheel (Innova, 2008), have represented significant evolutionary leaps. The Wheel married a conventional horn-led jazz quintet with a classical string quartet, its collection of Harrison originals pushing the limits of cross-pollination ...
Abdullah Ibrahim & Ekaya: Sotho Blue
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sono trascorsi quasi tre decenni da quando Abdullah Ibrahim presentò il progetto Ekaya nel disco omonimo del 1983: un settetto formato da tre sassofoni, un trombone ed una sezione ritmica con il leader al pianoforte. I componenti dell'organico originale sono ovviamente cambiati (ricordate? c'erano Dick Griffin al trombone, Carlos Ward, Ricky Ford e Charles Davis ai ...
