Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Vincenzo Roggero
What I Hear Now è un gioiellino di eleganza, sobrietà, passione, musicalità. Al settantaquatrenne Jerry Granelli sono sufficienti trentotto minuti scarsi per mettere in campo una vita dedicata alla musica -quella senza confini e senza barriere, dalle session free della San Francisco anni sessanta alle sedute psichedeliche con Sly Stone passando per gli storici trio con ...
Jazz Musician of the Day: Vince Guaraldi
All About Jazz is celebrating Vince Guaraldi's birthday today! By Derrick Bang Like most so-called overnight successes, Vincent Anthony Guaraldi—who forever described himself as “a reformed boogie-woogie pianist"—worked hard for his big break. The man eventually dubbed “Dr. Funk" by his compatriots was born in San Francisco on July 17, 1928; he graduated from Lincoln High ...
Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Dan Bilawsky
This is what master drummer Jerry Granelli hears now: a wide variety of left-of-center music that circumvents strict harmonic corralling, thanks to the absence of guitar or piano, and makes good use of multiple horns. Of course, if you catch Granelli a few months down the road, he might hear something completely different. ...
Bossa Nova
by AAJ Staff
In 1959, an unassuming guitarist/vocalist named João Gilberto from the Brazilian state of Bahia started a quiet revolution with his recordings “Chega de Saudade (No More Blues)" and “Desafinado (Off Key)" on the Odeon label. They featured arrangements by a young native of Rio de Janeiro, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Gilberto's whisper-toned, Afro-Indian-influenced Portuguese vocals complemented his ...

Holiday 2014: A David Ian Christmas
by C. Michael Bailey
Canadian David Ian is a space oddity. Embodied in a single musical psyche is one, a speed-metal guitarist shredding the Marshalls and two, a sensitive jazz pianist finely crafting holiday music circa 1960. Necessarily, Ian channels Vince Guaraldi, that quasar about which all holiday jazz music orbits. But he is no mere imitator, using his considerable ...
Various Artists: It's Christmas On Mack Avenue
by Dan Bilawsky
The Detroit-based Mack Avenue imprint has built quite an artist roster over the past fifteen years, so why not boast about it and toast the holidays in the process? It's Christmas On Mack Avenue does just that, turning a spotlight on label mainstays, fairly new signings, heavy hitters, and rapidly ascending stars. It also makes it ...
Jennifer Leitham: Future Christmas
by Jack Bowers
The spirit of Christmas past, present and future overspreads this charming holiday album by virtuosic bassist Jennifer Leitham's working trio (Andy Langham, piano; Randy Drake, drums) on which she offsets a program comprised mainly of established seasonal favorites with some tantalizing curves (for example, her own “Future Christmas," a.k.a “The Global Warming Winter Holiday Blues," or ...
