Miles Davis: Freedom Jazz Dance: The Bootleg Series Vol. 5
by Doug Collette
If ever a band of Miles Davis' deserved the high-intensity inspection/dissection represented by The Bootleg Series Vol. 5, it is his second great quintet. With that man with the horn as the great catalyst, the rapport between pianist Herbie Hancock, saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams is virtually unparalleled in the history ...
Jaco Pastorius: Jaco Pastorius
by Sacha O'Grady
For any serious fan of jazz fusion, the release of Jaco Pastorius' debut solo album should have come as no surprise.

Miroslav Vitous: Music of Weather Report
by John Ephland
The music on bassist Miroslav Vitous' Music Of Weather Report is a fascinating document by an original member of that seminal group, formed in 1970.

Alyssa Allgood: Out Of The Blue
by Mark Sullivan
Chicago vocalist Alyssa Allgood devotes her first full length album to an unexpected source: the classic hard bop repertoire of Blue Note Records.

Paul Winter Sextet: Count Me In
by Duncan Heining
The Paul Winter Sextet might just be one of the best early sixties groups you never heard. Their story, and that of their leader and altoist Paul Winter's, is certainly one of the most remarkable in jazz. Had some director made a film of the Sextet's short life, jazz buffs would have scoffed at the conceit. ...
Dave Douglas, Frank Woeste: Dada People
by Giuseppe Segala
Secondo quanto dichiarato dai due musicisti, la suggestione di Man Ray e del suo ruolo nel movimento Dada è alla base dell'incontro tra Dave Douglas e Frank Woeste, da cui nasce Dada People, titolo quanto mai esplicito del CD realizzato in quartetto dal trombettista statunitense e dal pianista francese insieme al contrabbassista Matt Brewer e al ...
European Jazz Conference 2016
by Ian Patterson
European Jazz Conference 2016 National Forum of Music Wroclaw, Poland September 22-25, 2016 We have two ears and only one mouth so perhaps we should listen more than we speak. This old maxim is often credited to Hellenistic philosopher Zeno of Citrium, though who's to say he didn't ...
Michael Musillami, Rich Syracuse: Of The Night
by Maurizio Comandini
Il chitarrista americano Michael Musillami, attivo da oltre 25 anni sulla scena del jazz d'avanguardia, è una figura piuttosto defilata che spesso privilegia situazioni raccolte e visionarie da condividere con partner scelti con cura e attenzione per poi accendere con loro una conversazione a due o tre voci. Normalmente nei suoi album troviamo composizioni originali. Questa ...
