Enrico Rava: Italian Ballads
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ha dodici anni, ma ne dimostra anche di più, questo disco dell’Electric Five di Enrico Rava dedicato agli evergreen della musica nostrana. Impressiona il fatto che i musicisti coinvolti - allora solo in parte affermati, ma oggi grandi realtà del jazz italiano e non solo - siano così impalpabili in questo lavoro, nel quale tutti (forse ...
Ted Rosenthal Trio: My Funny Valentine
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
In a skittish music industry where labels increasingly blur their identities and grab at gimmicks just to stay alive, it's reassuring to know that Venus Records continues to produce high-quality, straight-ahead jazz. Based in Japan but recording mostly in New York, Venus has a longstanding, signature focus on documenting the world's best piano trios, and My ...

Richie Beirach Trio: Manhattan Reverie
by Laurel Gross
It was all in the eyes. They say peek into someone's eyes if you really want to see what they're about and how they're feeling. From the looks of things at a performance to celebrate his sixtieth birthday at Birdland at the end of August 2007, it seemed that Richie Beirach was feeling good. Sounded tops, ...

Although it's common to hear rueful expressions about what a Charlie Parker or Clifford Brown might have accomplished had they lived longer, ...
