by AAJ Italy Staff
Sulle orme di Steve Turre, prosegue l'esplorazione del latin jazz da parte del trombonista Wayne Wallace.

Wayne Wallace: The Nature of the Beat
by AAJ Italy Staff
La mistura di salsa, funk, soul, jazz è alla base del disco del trombonista Wayne Wallace, la cui idea è sì di dare una veste “latina" a brani conosciuti in altri contesti, ma anche di raggiungere il grosso pubblico con un prodotto di qualità, lontano da suoni preconfezionati. Troviamo quindi “Jeru" di Gerry Mulligan, presente per ...

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
When the world economy entered into a tailspin this year, Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner dubbed the event the “Jazz Effect“ given that it emanated from the United States (she was drawing a parallel, for example, to the 1994 “Tequila Effect" that followed a botched currency devaluation in Mexico).

Wayne Wallace: The Nature of the Beat
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Among the highlights of Kat Parra's fine recent Azúcar de Amor (Patois, 2008) is the trombone and arrangements of Wayne Wallace. It is therefore gratifying to have this new record led by the San Franciscan. But while Parra's record comes across as a superbly executed homage to Latin music, Wallace's sounds like an idiosyncratically funky variant ...
