Rodrigo Almonte: Distancia
by Chris M. Slawecki
"Every piece of music on Distancia is an honest representation of a pilgrimage of different distances that I had to walk, musically and geographically speaking, in order to find inspiration and to create a representation of myself as a musical nomad," explains guitarist Rodrigo Almonte, who was born and raised in Peru, completed Bachelor of Arts ...

Samuel Mösching: Ethereal Kinks
by Kyle Simpler
Two words that frequently get overused when talking about jazz are “fusion" and “eclectic." In many cases, if something is difficult to categorize, one of these terms will probably apply. Unfortunately, in many cases, these terms also fail to truly capture the essence of the music. However, for Samuel Mösching's Ethereal Kinks, both eclectic and fusion ...
3x3: Piano Trios: January 2022
by Geno Thackara
Little North Familiar Places April Music 2022 While Little North's elegant variety of Scandinavian not-really-abstract impressionism stays as Northern as ever, their musical landscape is anything but little. Their second outing keeps all the strengths of their evocative debut Finding Seagulls (Self Produced, 2021) and expands in ways big and small. ...
Greg Lamy: Observe The Silence
by Mario Calvitti
È un buon momento per la chitarra jazz: sono moltissime le proposte interessanti che saltano fuori un po' dappertutto, e con una qualità media molto alta, da parte sia di musicisti già affermati che di nuovi emergenti. Se il jazz americano la fa ancora da padrone in questo contesto, non mancano comunque anche in Europa i ...
Jon Durant & Stephan Thelen: Crossings
by Mark Sullivan
These two guitarist/composers first came together when Stephan Thelen asked Jon Durant to contribute to a track on Fractal Guitar (MoonJune Records, 2019). Durant's role was greatly expanded on Fractal Guitar 2 (MoonJune Records, 2021): he played on all six tracks, his fretless guitar playing especially distinctive. Thelen had the idea of doing a duet with ...
Rodrigo Faina and Change Ensemble: Different Roots
by Jerome Wilson
This is not the usual large ensemble jazz recording. Instead of having instrumental groups play against each other, this music moves largely as a massed force with only sparing solo statements. It carries the gravity and weight of classical music and mixes in the harmonies and colors of jazz composers like Gil Evans and Kenny Wheeler ...
Arne Torvik: Northwestern Songs
by Friedrich Kunzmann
A vibrant modern jazz hub, Norway is famous for having introduced the likes of Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Jon Christensen and Arild Andersen to the international jazz landscape--all of whom had brought something fundamentally new to the jazz tradition in the '70s. As chance would have it, each of the mentioned heavyweights were also mainly at ...

Guitar Gods & Goddesses: An Alternative Top Ten Albums
by Chris May
Although it has been present in jazz since the 1920s, when it was routinely used in rhythm sections, as a solo instrument the guitar struggled to make itself heard--literally--until the second half of the 1930s, when reliable pick-ups and portable amplifiers became available. Foremost among the pioneers of the electrified instrument was Charlie Christian, a member ...
