Juán Chiavassa: Fourth Generation
by Marco Iacoboni
Il batterista argentino Juan Chiavassa scommette su un progetto da leader che collega anelli generazionali, che vanno da Wayne Shorter e Joe Henderson (autori di gran parte delle composizioni presenti in questo lavoro) a John Patitucci e Mike Stern, suoi compagni di viaggio d'eccezione insieme a Leo Genovese al piano e Rodhes e a un notevole ...
Champian Fulton: House Party
by Pierre Giroux
There are evenings when jazz truly finds its footing: social, spontaneous, and unguarded. House Party was recorded live in March 2025 at a producer's home for Turtle Bay Records, capturing one such moment. Pianist-vocalist Champian Fulton, joined by bassist Hide Tanaka and drummer Fukushi Tainaka, along with guest saxophonists Klas Lindquist and Cory Weeds, dispense with ...
Reaper on the Bus
by Blue Note Portal
The gig in D.C. had been a burner--two encores, standing ovation--but now the lights were low, the coffee was cold, with the five of them sprawled in the back lounge like old friends who'd never left the road. The year 2031 was off to a good start as their bus droned south on I-95, ...
Triple Blind: Cold Walk
by Rob Garratt
A lot of beautiful, ugly, and--more than anything--middling music was made during the pandemic. In the first camp we might lump Triple Blind, whose remotely recorded, self-titled debut EP was defined by the isolation of its players. So for its follow-up, the quartet appear at pains to underline the shared space and interpersonal interaction that birthed ...
Fred Hersch: The Touch of Genius
by Ken Dryden
The sound of Fred Hersch at the piano is so distinctive, a couple of bars is usually enough to identify him. The mainly self-taught Cincinnati native excelled early, playing jazz in his home town before leaving to study with pianist Jaki Byard at the New England Conservatory of Music. From there, Fred moved to New York ...

Alma Mićić's Balkan Soul in the Brave New World
by C. Michael Bailey
After having released four recordings between 2004 and 2017, the Serbian-American vocalist Alma Mićić (pronounced “Mee-cheech") took the COVID-19 pandemic off in the studio, returning in 2024 contributing vocals for “Evergreen" on tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander's release Timing Is Everything (Cellar Live/La Reserve Records). Mićić's collaboration with Alexander jumpstarted the singer's return to the studio, which ...
Jamile and Vinicius Gomes: Endangered Species
by John Chacona
The musical exchange between Wayne Shorter and Brazil yielded some of the great man's most indelible compositions. Happily, the conversation happens in the other direction, as Jamile and guitarist Vinicius Gomes demonstrate on “Endangered Species." With its wide intervallic leaps and skylarking melodic trajectory, the song is for virtuosos only; notably, only Esperanza Spalding seems to ...
