Hiromi: Time Control
by Woodrow Wilkins
Hiromi Uehara won't be pigeonholed. “I really don't have barriers to any kind of music, she says, adding that her tastes include heavy metal, classical music and “anything else. That might explain why her music can't be defined by genre. Of course, there are elements of jazz, but this Japanese-born keyboardist/pianist easily blends rock rhythms, classical ...
Arturo Sandoval: Rumba Palace
by Chip Boaz
Recording technology advances offer jazz musicians the choice between documenting a live performance and creating a product. The ability to record a solo several times means that musicians can produce exactly what they hear in their heads, albeit at the expense of spontaneity. In some cases, this can result in a finely tuned jazz release that ...
Michel Camilo: Spirit of the Moment
by C. Michael Bailey
Native of the Dominican Republic, Michel Camilo has forged a highly personal approach to piano composition and performance. His playing is refreshingly devoid of the hypersensitive impressionism practice performed in the wake of Bill Evans and that pianist's acolytes. Camilo's style is strapping and powerful but can encompass gentleness and introspection, just not too much. Camilo ...
Arturo Sandoval: Rumba Palace
by C. Michael Bailey
The influence of Latin jazz on adult contemporary and smooth jazz composition and recording cannot be over estimated. It is unfortunate that, more often than not, contemporary and smooth jazz fails to treat the Latin element with the necessary respect. It takes a sharply recorded example like Rumba Palace to bring the listener back into the ...
The Tierney Sutton Band: On the Other Side
by AAJ Italy Staff
Cover è bello, cover è strano, cover è creativo. Tierney Sutton è tutto questo e molto di più. Sette dischi all’attivo, nomination ai Grammy, premi vinti (tra cui il Los Angeles Jazz Society), chart bollenti (Billboard per 15 settimane) e un passaparola che la dice lunga sul profilo alto della cantante jazz losangelina. On the Other ...
John Pizzarelli: Dear Mr. Sinatra
by Samuel Chell
Whether they know it or not, performers pay tribute to the Master Storyteller every time they interpret and resuscitate one of the thousands of songs from the so-called “Great American Songbook"--a repository of the best songs written between 1920 and 1960 by Berlin, Kern, Porter, Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Arlen, Van Heusen, Styne and company--and all ...
Oscar Peterson - Ray Brown - Milt Jackson: What's Up?
by AAJ Italy Staff
Oscar Peterson, Milt Jackson e Ray Brown Jr.: tre grandi protagonisti del jazz moderno, riuniti in una superba esibizione concertistica del ’98 al Blue Note di New York. Li supportava, con un drumming discreto e misurato, il batterista Karriem Riggins, completando così una formazione stellare che vola sulle ali dello swing. Sono sette gli standard interpretati ...
Turtle Island Quartet: A Love Supreme: The Legacy of John Coltrane
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un lungo filo unisce la produzione discografica del Turtle Island Quartet, attivo sulla scena musicale dal 1985: è il continuo rimando all’estetica del jazz, non sporadicamente riletta con gustosi omaggi. Davis, Ellington, Monk e Coltrane sono alcuni degli autori di volta in volta riproposti con piglio originale, dall’alto di una pratica non convenzionale. Interamente dedicato a ...
Ann Hampton Callaway: Blues In the Night
by Jim Santella
Ann Hampton Callaway shows off her persuasive pipes on this memorable program of familiar songs and originals. Backed by pianist Ted Rosenthal, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Lewis Nash, she explores the kind of songs that drive Broadway wild. Sherrie Maricle's Diva big band appears on four tracks, while band members Anat Cohen (tenor saxophone) and ...
Tierney Sutton Band: On the Other Side
by Woodrow Wilkins
At a glance, Tierney Sutton's new album is all about being happy. However, as the singer explains in the liner notes, it's more about life's experiences in the “pursuit of happiness." A ride that includes the thrill of the chase, the heartache that comes with failing to achieve happiness or losing it, and the joy of ...
