Brubeck Brothers Quartet at Arizona Musicfest
by Patricia Myers
Brubeck Brothers Quartet Arizona Musicfest Highlands Church Scottsdale, Arizona February 7, 2014 Those Brubeck boys really nailed it at Arizona Musicfest, performing a concert-with-commentary tribute that traced their famed father's six-decade career. Dave Brubeck's musical and personal history was celebrated by trombonist-bassist Chris Brubeck and drummer Dan Brubeck, playing his ...
Conference Call: Seven: Live @ Firehouse 12
by Mark Corroto
The collective quartet Conference Call performs music within the egalitarian principles of jazz as a democracy, confirming that a band can be both leaderless and led by different players without diminishing the quality and character of its music. A working band since 1998, the lineup of reed player Gebhard Ullmann, pianist Michael Jefry Stevens, ...
Matthew Shipp Trio: Root Of Things
by Mark Corroto
A mathematical equation can chart and explain everything in life, from the arc of a thrown baseball to the dynamical systems of chaos. The scientific study of deterministic chaos is a bit of an oxymoron, in that the mathematicians suggest everything can be graphed and explained by calculations. The theory being, the deeper you delve into ...
Marty Ehrlich Large Ensemble: A Trumpet in the Morning
by Maurizio Zerbo
Ricercatore instancabile, Marty Ehrlich torna dopo 13 anni con un progetto per big band, firmando uno dei dischi più belli del 2013. Rara avis, il lavoro di arrangiamento si distingue per una idea di jazz magnificamente svincolato da regole e formulette. Prevale una pratica musicale estremamente volatile, che anche all'interno di un solo episodio cambia continuamente ...
Gretchen Parlato: Live in NYC
by Angelo Leonardi
Tra le molte voci femminili emerse nel nuovo millennio quella di Gretchen Parlato primeggia per classe interpretativa, padronanza ritmica, sensibilità e originalità timbrica. Nel panorama delle nuove interpreti bianche non crediamo abbia rivali, tanto quanto Cécile McLorin Salvant è oggi nell'ambito afro-americano. In questo doppio album (un CD audio e un DVD), ...
Ben Allison: The Stars Look Very Different Today
by Vic Albani
Ibrido e crossover da sempre, il contrabbassista statunitense Ben Allison è uno di quei musicisti che--altrettanto da sempre--è caratterizzato dall'iper-classica etichetta “o lo ami o lo odi." Sinceramente, almeno io, non riesco a comprendere perché. Credo invece che, disco dopo disco, Ben sia riuscito a costruirsi un personalissimo stile compositivo e--quel che più importa--un altrettanto personalissimo ...

Misha Tsiganov: The Artistry Of The Standard
by Dan Bilawsky
Standards represent so many things. They can be a fallback for those short on ideas or a springboard for those willing to invest a bit of themselves into the music. They're a representative historical sampling of what jazz has been and done, reminding all of those on the bandstand of who and what came before, but ...
Trio Shalva: Breeza
by Dan Bilawsky
Trio Shalva's debut recording--Riding Alone (Self Produced, 2011)--captured a band at the dawn of its being. Yes, the group had formed in 2009, two calendar years before that album was released, but the music for that record was recorded in 2010, presenting a band that was basically just starting on its way. Now comes Breeza, the ...
