by Doug Collette
The fulsome clarity of the monaural sound on Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album by John Coltrane may be just the gateway necessary to entice those listeners used to a single home speakers, ear buds or their smart phones.

Enrico Pieranunzi, André Ceccarelli, Diego Imbert: Monsieur Claude. A Travel with Claude Debussy
by Luca Casarotti
È nota la consuetudine di Enrico Pieranunzi con le monografie, segno d'una concezione virtuosa del disco, come esito di una progettualità coerente, e non come mera necessità editoriale: basti pensare ai lavori dedicati a Duke Ellington (Duke's Dream, 2017), a Domenico Scarlatti (Plays Domenico Scarlatti, 2007), a Ennio Morricone (Play Morricone, 2 voll., 2001-2002), a Bill ...

Noam Wiesenberg: Roads Diverge
by Geno Thackara
A title such as Roads Diverge probably isn't surprising from someone as well-traveled as Noam Wiesenberg. The sound largely sticks to one category--mostly-acoustic contemporary jazz with a high dose of rollicking cheer--and yet still reflects how much the young bassist has learned from his travels through life so far. The confident smoothness, eclectic writing-style and casting ...

The song Speak No Evil developed from Shorter's fascination with Buddhism and the concept that every action has a reaction, that every cause has an effect. As ...

by Dan Bilawsky
In listening to this music, each song, solo, and split-second decision can be defined as a journey moment. Every single one, large or small, plays as a parallel or reflection of life's rich travels, bringing to light thoughts and emotions both firm and fleeting in nature. And in the sum total of them all, where action, ...
