The David Ullmann 8: Corduroy
by Dave Wayne
I have to admit to suffering a bit of cognitive dissonance upon listening to David Ullmann's Corduroy. Ullmann's original compositions, expertly played by an ensemble comprised of Brooklyn's top-drawer modern jazz talent, are ostensibly inspired by television themes from the 70s. For me, 70s television themes evoke gritty, urban sounds full of clavinet, fuzz-wah Rhodes, funky ...
Vinnie Sperrazza: Apocryphal
by Vincenzo Roggero
Batterista piuttosto indaffarato, richiesto e apprezzato da molti musicisti, co-leader dei 40Twenty con Jacob Sacks, Vinnie Sperrazza debutta da solista con un gran album. Bastano i primi tre minuti di Apocryphal per intuire che questo sarà un disco ad alto tasso di interesse, giocato sui contrasti, sintonizzato su frequenze spesso disturbate che allertano continuamente le antenne ...
Vinnie Sperrazza: Apocryphal
by Dave Wayne
An understated but highly-skilled and insanely versatile drummer in the vein of Kenny Wolleson, Jeff Hirshfield, and Paul Motian, Vinnie Sperrazza has been turning up on all sorts of interesting recordings over the past half-decade or so. Co-leader of 40Twenty with Jacob Sacks, Jacob Garchik, and Dave Ambrosio, Sperrazza is also in a trio with Sacks ...
Hush Point: Hush Point
by Vincenzo Roggero
Se tra i dieci brani contenuti in Hush Point due portano la firma di Jimmy Giuffre, se la front-line del quartetto pianoless è formato da tromba e sax, e se il trombettista del gruppo ha mosso i primi passi nella California degli anni sessanta, qualche indizio su quello che si andrà ad ascoltare ci viene pur ...
Peter Brendler: Outside The Line
by Bruce Lindsay
Thirteen years after graduating from Berklee and over a decade into his career as a professional bassist, Peter Brendler has taken the plunge and released his first album as leader, Outside The Line. Look before you leap, as they say. Wise advice, if the quality of this debut is anything to go by.Brendler has ...
John McNeil: Hush Point
by Dave Wayne
Anyone who has played music with others on a regular basis understands inherently that, during a live performance, the sounds emanating from the instruments themselves have a way of clashing or canceling each other out. It's all in the frequencies. Bass and toms get mixed up on the low end, cymbals can kill a clarinet or ...
Monday Night Jazz Sessions @ Quinn’s In Beacon, NY Announces Its Schedule For 2014
The Monday night jazz sessions that began this past October at the new Beacon, NY venue Quinn's have been enormously well-received both by audiences (many of whom by no means jazz fans) and musicians, locally and worldwide. By showcasing some of the most acclaimed, uncompromising artists covering a very wide spectrum of the music in a ...
Hush Point: Hush Point
by Mark Corroto
The quartet Hush Point conjures the possibilities of small group hipness. One that quips instead of guffaws, and prefers covertness to the obvious. Led by John McNeil, this quartet of saxophonist Jeremy Udden, bassist Aryeh Kobrinksy, and drummer Vinnie Sperrazza may be new, but McNeil's sage coolness isn't. The sixty-something trumpeter has been delivering ...
