Theo Bleckmann and Ben Monder: At Night
by Phil DiPietro
The cover imagery depicts mesas viewed heavenward towards a threatening yet beckoning night sky. In the foreground, an empty highway envelops two empty stools for any brave two travelers on life's journey to perform an offering to the stars, to the universe, to all, to the night. If ever two musicians were up to the task, ...
Theo Bleckmann/Ben Monder: At Night
by Mark Corroto
Experiencing the music of vocalist Theo Bleckmann and guitarist Ben Monder isn't so much listening as it is swimming. Take, for instance, their cover of John Lennon and Paul McCartney's “Norwegian Wood." The Beatles' guiltless romp through sexuality opens with a tidal wave of fuzzy, over-amped guitar and vocal feedback. Bleckman begins, “I once ...

John Hollenbeck: Joys & Desires
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il batterista John Hollenbeck sa certamente come svelare la magia della big band, come evocarne la fascinazione, come sussurrarne la storia senza assolutamente ripercorrerne i clichè. Il suo Joys & Desires si staglia sin dal primo brano come un lucido monolito che riflette la luce circostante e brilla per l'intelligenza compositiva, per l'eleganza degli arrangiamenti e ...

Theo Bleckmann: Origami
by Mark Corroto
The question of classification in music today begs for Duke Ellington’s denotation of music and musicians as ‘beyond category.’ Maybe we should give up deciding, as with the music of Theo Bleckmann, whether this music is jazz and get on with the task of concluding it far and beyond category. As a vocalist and composer the ...
Theo Bleckmann: Origami
by AAJ Staff
Jazz needs more vocalists like Theo Bleckmann. Bleckmann skirts the well-worn path of the standards repertoire, preferring instead to stick with original or group compositions and pieces off the beaten track. He avoids any ostentatious displays of virtuosity. And he liberates a distinctly legato, thick-hued delivery (of great range) which lends itself well to the pastoral ...
