Yaron Herman: Everyday
by Vincenzo Roggero
È tutt'altro che noioso, e questo è un bel biglietto da visita per un duo piano/batteria. Non è un omaggio a chicchessia né la solita passerella di standard più o meno noti, a meno che si vogliano considerare tali “Retrograde" di James Blake e “Prelude n° 4, Opus 74" di Alexander Scriabin. E non rivela nessun ...
Shai Maestro Trio: Untold Stories
by Dan Bilawsky
Hearing the Shai Maestro Trio is like awakening to a new world: a world of wonders, excitement, beauty, and uncertainty. Sounds of intrigue, expressions of joy, introspective thoughts, and heightened intensity all come to the fore at one time or another as Maestro, bassist Jorge Roeder, and drummer Ziv Ravitz open up and share themselves through ...
8th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival Takes Place June 14 & 21 In The Urban Meadow
“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill... The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New ...
Shai Maestro: Music as a journey of being a human
by Urszula Orczyk
This article was originally published in the Polish magazine JazzPRESS Shai Maestro, talented 27-year-old pianist and a composer, has earned his spurs being a part of Avishai Cohen's band. Now he has a band of his own--Shai Maestro Trio (although he says it's not “his" band but “theirs": Shai, Jorge Roeder and Ziv Ravitz). ...
Sketches: Volume 2
by Dan Bilawsky
Same musicians, same winning concept, great new songs: that's what awaits on the second volume of music from the quintet collective known as Sketches. This Brooklyn-based outfit works a unique angle with its own brand of cross-pollinated composition, whereby one musician brings in a tidbit of music that serves as the seed for ...
Christof Irniger: Gowanus Canal
by Luca Casarotti
Per essere una formazione senza strumenti armonici, il trio del sassofonista svizzero Christoph Irniger sembra dare un'importanza capitale all'armonia nella sua accezione più stretta, tonale. Questo non significa che il gruppo pensi, componga e suoni in modo troppo tradizionale. A fugare il sospetto bastano i primi secondi della prima traccia, che dà il titolo a questo ...
Max Johnson Trio: The Invisible Trio
by Eyal Hareuveni
The sophomore release of New York-based Max Johnson Trio, after Elevated Vegetation (FMR 2012), finds this highly versatile acoustic trio focusing more on written compositions and less on free improvisation. The trio--Johnson on double bass, prolific Kirk Knuffke on cornet and Ziv Ravitz on the drums--enjoys stretching Johnson's compositions in surprising ways. ...
Max Johnson Trio: The Invisible Trio
by Karl Ackermann
The musical lineage within the small circle of bassist Max Johnson's trio is unquestionably among the finest in cutting-edge jazz. The leader has played with bassist William Parker, alto legend Anthony Braxton, trombonist Steve Swell and drummer Tyshawn Sorey. In the case of Johnson's current trio, his drummer, Ziv Ravitz, is also a member of the ...
Sketches: Volume One
by Dan Bilawsky
Compositional specificity can be a blessing and a curse. It's easy to understand how having every last instruction set to paper can be helpful when it comes to starting the music making process, but the flip side of that argument is that there's nothing left to actually create if everything is already there in black and ...
Sketches: Volume One
by Glenn Astarita
This Brooklyn-based jazz quintet comprised of nascent talent takes a unique approach to composition. Here, the musicians share a sketch from a notepad, denoting an incomplete composition or musical fragment and another band-member runs with it to use as a foundation for a new composition. Nonetheless, it's a balanced program, where the musicians fuse probing melodic ...
