Dojo: Road Trip
by Ian Patterson
Fusion--long a dirty word in jazz circles--has enjoyed a renaissance in the last decade. In part it's due to the advocacy of lables such as Abstract Logix but the root cause is surely the fact that cross-pollination is increasingly the norm. And whilst fusion mightn't mean quite the same thing it did in the 1970s, these ...
Rebecca DuMaine & The Dave Miller Trio: Better Than Anything
by Dan Bilawsky
Better Than Anything is about past and present, songs and singers, influences and memories, and father-and-daughter chemistry. It's the second album, following Deed I Do (Summit Records, 2012), that finds vocalist Rebecca DuMaine joining forces with her father, pianist Dave Miller. DuMaine and Miller share more than genetic code, as they both seem ...

by David Rickert
Roland Kirk was arguably the most exciting soloist the jazz world has ever seen.

M13: 1 Human, Too Human
by Glenn Astarita
Chicago-based M13 is a thirteen-piece ensemble that projects a hip, little big band attack featuring many of the region's finest musicians. Led by saxophonist Aaron McEvers whose sprightly horns arrangements are often given a jazz-rock uplift by guitarist Chris Siebold, as the band invokes numerous shades of the jazz vernacular. They lash out into bracing swing ...
Ted Nash Big Band: Chakra
by Maurizio Zerbo
In Chakra, oltre alle già note doti strumentali, Ted Nash mette in risalto la sua originalità di compositore ed orchestratore. Le sette composizioni riunite in forma di suite regalano all'ascoltatore una grande cornucopia di suggestioni. Esse costituiscono l'ammaliante traduzione musicale dei sette centri energetici che, secondo le tradizioni indiane inerenti lo yoga e la medicina ayurvedica, ...
Brainkiller: Colourless Green Superheroes
by Vincenzo Roggero
Al secondo album dopo il pirotecnico debutto di The Infiltration, il trio denominato Brainkiller colpisce ancora (in senso figurato, s'intende...) licenziando un album che definisce ulteriormente la loro schizofrenica e multicolore visione musicale. Colourless Green Superheroes, è un frullatore dove tutto è concesso, dove gli ingredienti base--il gusto per l'improvvisazione del jazz, l'energia epidermica e immediata ...
