Stephen Davis: Leaving It All Out There
by Ian Patterson
"How come I haven't heard of you before?" a surprised Anthony Braxton asked Northern Irish drummer/percussionist Stephen Davis. The venerable American saxophonist and composer was bowled over after playing with Davis for the first time. Most musicians are. It is no secret in Ireland, or indeed Europe at large, that Belfast-born Davis is ...
Alex Coke & Carl Michel Sextet: Situation
by Jack Bowers
As might be envisioned from a sextet whose membership encompasses harp, vibraphone, flute and pedal steel guitar, the themes on saxophonist Alex Coke and guitarist Carl Michel's third album, Situation, are in large measure thoughtful and atmospheric. And while the music is charming and graceful, its ties to jazz are tenuous at best. ...
Julien Knowles: As Many, As One
by Angelo Leonardi
È un debutto da leader significativo questo di Julien Knowles, trombettista residente a Los Angeles, dove s'è laureato all'Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz (assieme a tre partner di questo disco). Hancock è stato suo mentore e l'ha scritturato--ancora studente--nei suoi tour, poi ha collaborato con Louis Cole, Gerald Clayton, Alan Ferber, Joe LaBarbera e inciso nel ...

Ben Solomon: Echolocation
by Alberto Bazzurro
Fra cascami coltraniani, evidenti fin dalle prime note del brano iniziale (ma del resto fin dal nome dell'etichetta produttrice dell'album), e un linguaggio risciacquato anche in acque un po' più contemporanee, questo live album (incisione del dicembre 2023) del giovane tenorsassofonista (in altre occasioni anche sopranista) Ben Solomon ci offre una musica solida e ottimamente congegnata, ...
Alex Coke & Carl Michel Sextet: Situation
by Jerome Wilson
This is the third album by the Alex Coke & Carl Michel Sextet and, on it, they continue to refine their integration of jazz, country and classical styles into a more expansive and complex whole. Their use of vibraphone, pedal steel and harp, in addition to the more common instruments of guitar, saxophone and bass, gives ...
David Caffey Jazz Orchestra: At the Edge of Spring
by Jack Bowers
With his album, At the Edge of Spring, composer and arranger David Caffey and his Colorado-based Jazz Orchestra not only defy the widely-held belief that big bands are dead, they emphatically blow that axium out of the water. This is an ensemble with no discernible weaknesses, as proficient and powerful as any that have come before ...
Trish Clowes, Ross Stanley: Journey to Where
by Angelo Leonardi
Il jazz britannico contemporaneo non si esaurisce nel multiforme movimento londinese di Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Ashley Henry, Theon Cross, Kokoroko eccetera. Meno noti in Italia ma non meno interessanti sono i jazzmen legati al filone del mainstream jazz statunitense, come la sassofonista Trish Clowes e il pianista Ross Stanley, che da un decennio animano il ...
Kenny Garrett Speaks Through The Soul of His Jazz
by Dean Nardi
Mental bungee-jumping may not be their sport of choice, but a cerebral ledge exists that sooner or later every jazz musician must leap off. One day, ready or not, tuning up or shaking down their instrument, they will glance in a mirror, hug a pregnant mother-to-be, second-line a funeral, walk in the deepest, dark woods, chance ...
Matt Panayides: With Eyes Closed
by Richard J Salvucci
This is a charming recording: reflective, tranquil and built around the compositions of some of the most distinguished players and composers of what ought to be called the American Jazz Songbook. Here you have music written by Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Cedar Walton and Chick Corea, to name only the figures in one strain. ...
