I dischi del 2024 secondo Giuseppe Segala
by Giuseppe Segala
Non c'è molto da aggiungere a questa lista: solo il fatto che l'ordine è alfabetico e, naturalmente, non segue una classifica di merito. Senza dubbio il 2024 ci ha dato tanta bella musica, da ascoltare e riascoltare. Purtroppo tante segnalazioni sono rimaste oltre il confine dei dieci CD: in tanti casi l'inclusione o meno è dovuta ...

As a co-founder of the prominent ILK Music label and the man behind several festivals and musical events, he has been a vital part of creating a vibrant modern jazz scene and community that has also welcomed visits from the many jazz ...
Joe Fonda Quartet: Eyes on the Horizon
by Alberto Bazzurro
Quattro super-leader, fra cui anche il nostro Tiziano Tononi, per il quale far parte di questo illustre consesso rappresenta un'autentica medaglia, compongono l'organico protagonista di questo notevole album a nome del bassista (nonché, qui ma non solo qui, anche flautista) Joe Fonda, fresco settantenne, una carriera iniziata nei primi anni Ottanta proprio accanto a Wadada Leo ...
Giacomo Merega: Opus Dichotomous
by Mark Corroto
The title adopted by Giacomo Merega and Joe Morris' duo release Opus Dichotomous might be a false flag. This recording is anything but an exercise in contrasts. Merega's electric bass and Morris' guitar travel congruously throughout the nine tracks to deliver these improvised gems. Perhaps the dichotomy the title refers to is that of botany where ...

Satoko Fujii: Renaissance Figure Extraordinaire
by Doug Collette

To that end, she seems bent on deeply exploring the seemingly innumerable combinations of musicians and instruments, in as wide a variety of settings available to her on both ...
Joe Fonda: Eyes On The Horizon
by Mike Jurkovic
As we enter into the season of giving, what better gift can there be than Eyes on the Horizon, bassist/composer Joe Fonda's sonic tribute to his mentor, muse, and like-minded creator, trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith. As if welcoming one to a grand destination, Smith's clear and majestic timbre, supported by Fonda's pronounced bowing, proclaims ...

John Chacona's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2024
