by Jakob Baekgaard
The mighty river of American songs flows in many different directions: blues, gospel, jazz and funk are part of the muddy water that makes up the music.

Jazz this week: Some picks for Independence Day weekend
To be candid, it's a relatively thin week for live jazz and creative music in St. Louis. But even with no major touring artists visiting our town; venues including Jazz at the Bistro, The Sheldon, and Casa Loma Ballroom going dark for the holiday weekend; and the recent demises of a couple of smaller neighborhood spots ...

Marcello Pellitteri: Acceptance
by Jim Olin
A heavy air of melancholy hangs over award-winning drummer/composer Marcello Pellitteri's new album Acceptance. There is a serious reason for this, a tragic one, in fact. The record is dedicated to Pellitteri's daughter Veronica, who died at a young age nearly two years ago. The pain of loss can be keenly felt on several tracks on ...
Gordon Beeferman: Four Parts Five
by Alberto Bazzurro
Disco assolutamente futile, persino fastidioso, nel suo incessante, inesorabile, impietoso rimuginare attorno a pochi patterns che vengono ripetuti per qualche decina di secondi (o più) ciascuno, per passare poi al successivo, e così via. Questo, lungo i quattro brani che compongono l'album (appena mezzoretta di musica, ma che fatica arrivare ciò nonostante alla fine!), senza soluzioni ...

Jane Ira Bloom: Early Americans
by Dan McClenaghan
One jazz music's premier soprano saxophonists, Jane Ira Bloom, crafted a career-defining recording with Sixteen Sunsets (Outline Records, 2013). So how does she follow that up? With an alteration of her quartet trajectory. Bloom's recorded output has consisted, over a career that began in the late 90s, of a series of mostly quartet sets, featuring terrific ...
Jon Madof: Blivet
by Luca Muchetti
Può ferire, può far sanguinare se maneggiato da mani incaute questo Blivet di Jon Madof, chitarrista abituato a frequentare la corte di John Zorn e Marc Ribot. Catchy fin dal primo brano: “Dime a Dozen," fantasmagoria funk che trasuda anni Settanta, è la luccicante apertura che, chiusa l'ubriacatura di chitarre in wha, si allontana senza farlo ...
