Keith Jarrett: Creation
by Mario Calvitti
Sono passati 40 anni da quel concerto a Colonia che ha rivelato al mondo, grazie a un successo di vendite travolgente e decisamente inusuale per un disco di jazz, la pratica del concerto solistico completamente improvvisato che il pianista Keith Jarrett portava avanti già da un paio di anni, e che avrebbe continuato quasi ininterrottamente (tranne ...
Matana Roberts: Always
by Mark Corroto
The saxophone is possibly the musical instrument that produces a sound closest to the human voice.

Vijay Iyer Trio: Break Stuff
by Hrayr Attarian
Intrepid pianist and composer Vijay Iyer's Break Stuff is an intimate work brimming with an intense poetry and a subtly dramatic ambience. The latter results from the complementary and contrasting elements, which are intricately interwoven within each of the dozen tracks that comprise the album. On the exquisite “Mystery Woman," for instance, Iyer plays ...
Two Trumpets Floored at the Deer Head Inn
by Gloria Krolak
The stage of the legendary Deer Head Inn in Delaware Water Gap, PA, straddles the dark brown barroom and the red dining room, dividing it smack in the middle. It's big enough for a quartet if one of them plays piano. On this night in late April, trumpeter Alan Gaumer invited Chris Persad, also a trumpeter, ...
