Stanton Moore: Emphasis! (On Parenthesis)
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il trio del batterista Stanton Moore si ripresenta con la stessa formazione che aveva esordito col precedente album III e dimostra di esser particolarmente agguerrito sul groove, anche grazie al lavoro dal vivo che i tre musicisti qui impegnati hanno svolto negli ultimi anni. Alla chitarra troviamo il californiano Will Bernard, già autore di ottime cose ...
Otis Taylor: Recapturing the Banjo
by AAJ Italy Staff
“Se chiedete a qualcuno dove pensa che sia nato il banjo a cinque corde, sicuramente vi risponderà che proviene dal Kentucky o dalla Carolina del Nord”. Dick Weissman, che di folk revival se ne intende, non ha dubbi nell’indicare le strade della verità storica del banjo. Poi c’è quella canzoncina, “Oh Susanna”, scritta da uno dei ...
Hiromi's Sonicbloom: Beyond Standards
by Woodrow Wilkins
If music reviews are starting to have an air of familiarity about them, it's because the music calls for it. So many new releases are comprised mostly--if not entirely--of cover songs, summarizing the sound can be as effortless as striking the on/off switch. Fortunately, some artists aren't content to merely record their version of something old. ...
Saxophone Summit: Joe Lovano, Dave Liebman, Ravi Coltrane: Seraphic Light
by Woodrow Wilkins
When three prominent saxophone players come together to honor one of their highly regarded brethren, and include compositions by one of the most revered instrumentalists ever, the listener is in for a treat. So it is with Seraphic Light by Saxophone Summit, led by the trio of Ravi Coltrane, Joe Lovano and Dave Liebman.
Rosa Passos: Romance
by Ernest Barteldes
On Rosa Passos' new release, the “female João Gilberto" emerges with a selection of tunes all having to do with the faces of love, from asserting one's feelings towards a significant other to dealing with the prospect of being alone. On “Preciso Aprender A Ser So," she sings about coming to terms with the end of ...
Saxophone Summit: Seraphic Light
by AAJ Italy Staff
Cambia l'organico (la dolorosa scomparsa di Michael Becker ha portato all'inserimento del più giovane Ravi Coltrane), ma non la formula del Saxophone Summit, nucleo di strumentisti di eccelsa qualità che propone un post-bop contemporaneo di ottima fattura. Certo, qualche perplessità c'è. Ci si chiede, ad esempio, se sia proprio necessario riunire tre dei maggiori sassofonisti al ...

Saxophone Summit: Joe Lovano, Dave Liebman, Ravi Coltrane: Seraphic Light
by John Kelman
Formed in the mid-1990s by three of jazz's leading post-Coltrane exponents--not just to pay homage to the saxophone legend's exploratory latter period work, but to advance his collaborative and collective soloing aesthetic into a fully contemporary context nearly thirty years after his death--Saxophone Summit was dealt a tremendous blow, as was the entire jazz world, when ...
Stanton Moore Trio: Emphasis! (On Parenthesis)
by Doug Collette
Right from the beginning of this CD, it's such a pleasure to hear Stanton Moore play the drums, it's an effort to remember he is also the bandleader, co-producer and main idea-man behind Emphasis! (On the Parenthesis). With this trio work, the New Orleans native takes another step toward elevating himself to that upper echelon of ...
Stanton Moore Trio: Emphasis! (On Parenthesis)
by Jeff Winbush
When New Orleans native son Stanton Moore settles down behind his drum kit, what's sure to follow is enough electrifying energy and raw power to rebuild The Crescent City all by its own bad self.Moore's rocking and rolling drums are pushed upfront in the mix, but they don't drown out Will Bernard's guitar and ...
