Myra Melford: Snowy Egret
by Vincenzo Roggero
Snowy Egret fa parte di un ampio e ambizioso progetto articolato in immagini, performance di danza, recitazione e musica, denominato Language of Dreams e ispirato a “Memory of Fire" trilogia sulla storia delle Americhe dell'autore uruguaiano Eduardo Galeano. In linea con l'estetica della pianista di Chicago la musica di Snowy Egret risulta sofisticata, rigorosa nelle sue ...

Myra Melford: Snowy Egret
by Glenn Astarita
Based on her multidimensional jazz schematics amid associations with like-minded artists nestled in the modern wave of jazz composers and improvisers, you wouldn't expect pianist, Myra Melford to compose works based on evening strolls in the park or mundane issues, for example. With her top-flight ensemble, Melford frames this plot on Eduardo Galeano's lucid and poetic ...
Tyshawn Sorey: Alloy

Tyshawn Sorey: Alloy
by John Ephland
Tyshawn Sorey's Alloy is, if nothing else, a wondrous reconfiguration of the so-called jazz piano trio.

That Sorey is yet ...
