AGNZ: Chance Meeting
by Jack Bowers
Before proceeding, a word about the name of this admirable quartet: AGNZ (jazz from A to Z?) comprises the first letter in the last names of its four members--guitarist Jay Azzolina, tenor saxophonist Dino Govoni, drummer Adam Nussbaum and bassist Dave Zinno. It further denotes, presumably, a certain level of parity, a selflessness and camaraderie among ...
Tim Ray Trio: Windows
by Dan McClenaghan
The Tim Ray Trio supplied the spirited accompaniment on Kindred Spirits (Whaling City Sound, 2016), behind saxophonists Greg Abate and the legendary Phil Woods. But they got the chance to step out--sax men taking a break--with a peppery take on Kurt Weill's classic “Speak Low," which serves as a preview of sorts for the Tim Ray ...
Steven Kirby: Illuminations
by Dan Bilawsky
Illuminations--guitarist Steven Kirby's third album, following Point Of Balance (Challenge Records, 1998) and North Lights (Challenge Records, 2003)--is both true to previous form and highly expansive. Kirby uses elements of the sonic palette(s) that helped to color his earlier work, referencing the probing lyricism of John Abercrombie and the straight-to-the-heart melodic qualities shot through in classic ...
Dave Liebman Group: Expansions - The Puzzle
by Neri Pollastri
Registrato nella primavera del 2015, The Puzzle documenta il lavoro dell'attuale gruppo di Dave Liebman, Expansions, composto da uno storico collaboratore del sassofonista, il bassista Tony Marino, e da giovani musicisti che--con l'eccezione del batterista -contribuiscono tutti alle composizioni. Quattro di queste sono infatti di Liebman, due dell'ancista Matt Vashlishan, due di Marino e ...
Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio: Live In Studio
by Angelo Leonardi
È possibile che il nome di questa formazione e il suo stesso leader non vi dicano molto ma guardate chi sono gli altri protagonisti e gli ospiti coinvolti. Il pianista Kenny Barron e il bassista Ron Carter completano il trio mentre si aggiungono Roy Hargrove in quattro brani e Cassandra Wilson in tre. Senza esagerare è ...
Dave Liebman: Expansions: The Puzzle
by Budd Kopman
The Puzzle is the terrfic follow-up recording by David Liebman's new group, Expansions, the first being Samsara. No sophomore jinx here; if anything, the group has coalesced further and is even tighter. To throw out a (perhaps meaningless) label, this music could be called hyper-bop in its mix of well-placed dissonance, rhythmic displacements and ...
Greg Abate & Phil Woods: Kindred Spirits: Live at Chan's
by Edward Blanco
Alto saxophonist Greg Abate is a man who has built a career as a powerhouse reed man and a proponent of the mainstream bebop style, earning the nickname “the prince of bebop." One of the kings of the genre, is unquestionably the legendary Phil Woods who blazed that trail before Abate and others followed. Captured live ...
Greg Abate & Phil Woods: Kindred Spirits: Live at Chan's
by Dan McClenaghan
The legendary alto saxophonist Phil Woods' (1931-2015) health was failing at the time Kindred Spirits: Live at Chan's was recorded, but you never know it by listening to the crisp delivery, the vitality of a hot bebop band playing in the mode of the iconic altoist Charlie Parker. Saxophonist Greg Abate joins Woods in the front ...
Jason Miles/Ingrid Jensen: Kind of New
by Jeff Winbush
When your first or last name is “Miles" and you play jazz and you make an album dueting with a trumpet player and you call it Kind of New, you're opening yourself up to all sorts of assumptions and expectations. Well, let's get those expectations out of the way. Kind of New is not ...
