by Dan Bilawsky
Part of the beauty and challenge in following the late career recordings of saxophone icon Lee Konitz can be traced to the way he continues to grow and evolve, inspired by the many and varied musicians he works with and, in turn, inspiring them.

Anthony Braxton: Trio and Duet
by Troy Collins
Vanguard composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton has long inspired debate among conservative critics as to whether or not his urbane contributions should be considered part of the jazz canon; oblique strategies notwithstanding, Braxton's abstruse efforts rarely swing in a conventional sense, forever fuelling the argument. Nonetheless, Arista Records signed Braxton to a six year contract late ...

Stefano Bollani: Joy in Spite of Everything
by Angelo Leonardi
Il quintetto protagonista del nuovo, e splendido, progetto di Stefano Bollani può essere visto come l'esito di stratificazioni successive, che convivono al suo interno in un rapporto dialettico e si esprimono nei vari brani del disco. Alla base c'è il Danish Trio con Jesper Bodilsen e Morten Lund, attivo da vari anni in un ...
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 ...
