Nate Wooley: Battle Pieces

Read "Battle Pieces" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Someday trumpeter Nate Wooley is going to sell-out, abandon his principles, and make a smooth jazz record. He will give in to the pull of commercial success and create a disc of elevator music which can be played, but taken no heed of. I jest, because everything he creates necessitates the ear and mind's ...

Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Double Windsor

Read "Double Windsor" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


I dieci minuti dell'iniziale title-track valgono da soli il prezzo del biglietto. Non che il resto dello spettacolo sia di secondo piano, ma è in quell'inizio folgorante che riusciamo a cogliere al meglio l'originale vis poetica di Sylvie Courvoisier, pianista di origini svizzere da anni trapiantata a New York. C'è un ostinato sui ...

Read "Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2014" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Saalfelden 28-31.08.2014 A bocce ferme il 35° Jazzfestival di Saalfelden presentava un programma meno appariscente rispetto a precedenti edizioni, con meno densità di nomi altisonanti e meno eventi imperdibili. Ma forse proprio per la mancanza di aspettative clamorose, grazie alla solida direzione artistica tra certezze e curiosità e per quelle alchimie speciali che regolano ...

What matters is how the three instrumental vertices relate to each other dynamically, harmonically and soundwise to build something coherent, in close dependency. Eventually, each ...

Sylvie Courvoisier – Mark Feldman Quartet: Birdies for Lulu

Read "Birdies for Lulu" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Sodalizio ampiamente collaudato, quello tra la pianista svizzera e il violinista chicagoano, che in questo nuovo capitolo, inciso a fine 2013, esprime molte delle pieghe espressive che riconosciamo ai due musicisti, sia come singole entità che come coppia. Così il trittico iniziale (inclusa anche la coda finale), frutto della penna di Mark Feldman, ...
