Anxur in Jazz Terracina Tempio di Giove Anxur 19-21.8.2021 Circa due anni fa ebbi la fortuna di intervistare (e conoscere) un astro assoluto del jazz internazionale come Rosario Giuliani. Da tempo desideravo incontrarlo, ma fatta eccezione per alcuni concerti e qualche fugace saluto non capitò mai la circostanza adatta per scambiare quattro chiacchiere. Tuttavia l'occasione si presentò favorevole nel momento in cui, ottenuto un incarico redazionale, decisi di raccontare e far raccontare Rosario tra le ...

Sasha Mashin: Happy Synapse

Read "Happy Synapse" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Whoa! Russian born drummer Sasha Mashin kicks off his high-flying second disc with the crackling, manically modal, high-powered, retro-Impulse! speed-buzz of “The Hidden Voice," written by fevered alto-saxophonist Rosario giuliani, and Happy Synapse barely lets up from there. It is a sweet sound, a really, really sweet sound. Mashin intros “The Hidden Voice" like a flash bomb. Pianist Benito Gonzalez block chords in like McCoy Tyner behind Elvin Jones and it is off to the races as Giuliani, ...

Enrico Pieranunzi: From Always to Now

Read "From Always to Now" reviewed by Paolo Marra


Forty-one years after its original release on a little known but quite active independent label from the '70s, Edi Pan, Alfa Music has recently reissued From Always to Now, one the most important records by pianist and composer Enrico Pieranunzi. From Always to Now represents the high point in the pianist's hard-bop phase, during which Pieranunzi's impetuous style was heavily influenced by McCoy Tyner. Shortly afterwards, inspired by his collaboration with Chet Baker, Pieranunzi would embrace the more meditative and ...

Rosario Giuliani - Lennie's Pennies (Dreyfus)

Source: Master of a Small House

Italian altoist Rosario Giuliani isn't reticent about running down his influences. The title and lead track on his latest quartet disc sounds an appreciative salute to Lee Konitz. In the liners he checks off thanks to a handful of others including John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Joe Henderson and Sonny Rollins, though these seem influences more in spirit rather than letter. Conversely, Konitz comes across prominently in the agile glide of his phrasing and tart intonation. Pianist Pierre de Bethmann plays ...
