Eliana Cuevas: Espejo
by Angelo Leonardi
Nell'universo delle cantanti ai confini col jazz, la venezuelana Eliana Cuevas occupa un posto di rilievo per la calda e sensuale espressività, il timbro luminoso e l'acrobatico fraseggio. In Italia è quasi sconosciuta ed è un peccato perchè il temperamento solare e le splendide doti vocali che la caratterizzano (ricorda a tratti la giovane Mina) la ...
Jeff LaRochelle: Moonstone
by Hrayr Attarian
Canadian saxophonist and clarinetist Jeff LaRochelle fuses the orchestral complexity of the western classical tradition and the spontaneity of jazz on his debut Moonstone. With his band, Origins, LaRochelle interprets ten intimate pieces that he himself has penned. The music reflects his diverse influences but remains thematically cohesive primarily due to the exquisite balance of modernity ...

Peripheral Vision: Sheer Tyranny Of Will
by Dave Wayne
One must wonder what chance a group of relatively unknown Canadian jazz musicians playing complicated original tunes has for any sort of recognition or commercial success in the US. If musical quality was the sole determinant, Peripheral Vision, the relatively unknown Canadian band in question, would be celebrities, set for life. They've unleashed a corker of ...
Harley Card: Hedgerow
by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton
Hazy summer sun and nostalgia, the album cover hints best at what the music of Harley Card sounds like (with the exception of the giant mirror-beach-ball-spaceship-portal thing--no idea). Hedgerow is a contemplative and absorbing sound, reiterating guitar phrases across a wide harvest of colors and plaited exchanges. Hedgerow is a little knotty, in the ...

Anton Fig: Behind the Band Stand, Part 1
by Ben Scholz
Part 1 | Part 2 It's around 3 o'clock in early January, that melancholy time of year where the day perpetually feels like 7 pm. We're standing on West 53rd Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue around the corner from the entrance to The Ed Sullivan Theater. A light haze of snow is falling ...

Buddy Tate: Texas Tenor
by Hrayr Attarian
Saxophonist George “Buddy" Tate came to prominence in the 1930s with his hard swinging style and robust and resilient tone. His sound mellowed and matured like a fine spirit throughout a long and busy career but his approach did not veer far from his original fashion of playing, dubbed Texas Tenor. The 1978 Sackville record is ...
David Buchbinder & Odessa/Havana featuring Hilario Duran: Walk to the Sea
by Neri Pollastri
Dopo l'apprezzato album Odessa/Havana del 2007, il trombettista canadese David Buchbinder e il pianista cubano Hilario Duran tornano a registrare la loro originalmente eclettica proposta di musica “ebraico-cubana." La formazione che li accompagna è ampia e variegata, ovviamente ricca di percussionisti--mai però presenti tutti assieme--e in alcune tracce caratterizzata dalla presenza di cantanti--in particolare della brava ...
