Luca Lo Bianco Quartet: Human Plots: Six Extraordinary Acts and a City
by Neil Duggan
Many acts of heroism are rewarded, but there are frequent acts of bravery and defiance that go unnoticed and unheralded. With the intention of shining a light on these everyday acts of humanity, Italian bassist Luca Lo Bianco brings us his third album as leader, Six Extraordinary Acts and a City. The acts concerned take place in different times, with contrasting contexts and in various geographic regions. There are seven tracks, with six written by Lo Bianco and one cover ...
read moreFranco D'Andrea: Sketches of the 20th Century
by Giuseppe Segala
Ogni CD pubblicato da Franco D'Andrea rappresenta una tappa significativa del suo percorso artistico, ne descrive il clima, lo stato di avanzamento, ne sottolinea la costante logica, in un fitto ordito di fattori che dialogano costantemente entro panoramiche ricche di elementi dinamici. Questo Sketches of the 20th Century si pone però quale autentica pietra miliare, che spicca come il dettaglio nobile in una facciata di particolare pregio architettonico. D'Andrea parlava di questo progetto da qualche anno, dopo ...
read moreStefano Travaglini: Book of Innocence
by Karl Ackermann
With Book of Innocence, Stefano Travaglini and Achille Succi have released an inspired recording and it is something quite beyond convention. Stefano came to my attention in 2017 with his extraordinarily wide-ranging solo album Ellipse (Notami Jazz, 2017), his first leader recording. Another outstanding solo outing came in 2020 with MonkFifteen Piano Reflections (Notami Jazz). A multi-instrumentalist and composer, Stefano's primary focus, on his recordings, is the piano. A finalist, or winner, of multiple international piano competitions, Book of Innocence is Stefano's fifth album as a ...
read moreStefano Travaglini/Achille Succi: Book Of Innocence
by Dan McClenaghan
Book Of Innocence, an album from pianist Stefano Travaglini and reedist Achille Succi, opens with a tune entitled Rothko," taking inspiration from the Russian-born abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko. The music is an edgy, frenetic romp. It sounds like a near out-of-control roll by a pair of skateboarders careening down a steep and winding mountain road, without the benefit of any type of braking mechanisms, the riders (the instrumentalists) weaving back and forth into and out of each others paths ...

by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Vorrei che fosse l'espressività e la comunicazione. La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me Espressività e capacità di raccontare una storia, ed essere persone con le quali mi trovo bene umanamente. Come musicista, il momento in cui sono stato più felice Ce ne sono tantissimi, devo dire che sono sempre felice quando suono! Se proprio devo dirne uno, direi che il primo è stato ...

by Vincenzo Roggero
Terzo episodio di un'avventurosa ricerca musicale chiamata Synapser, Newswok ha tutte le carte in regola per timbrare a fuoco con il marchio della qualità più sofisticata il quartetto del pianista e compositore Giancarlo Tossani. Non solo per la presenza tutt'altro che accessoria del talento di Ralph Alessi, non solo perché Auand è etichetta che ha sostenuto fin dagli esordi il percorso del quartetto ma soprattutto perché le composizioni del leader sembrano aver trovato un ideale sublimazione sonora e strutturale.

by Dave Wayne
Wonders never cease. When Newswok first arrived in the mail, my first question was not What the hell does 'Newswok' mean?" It was Who is Giancarlo Tossani, and why is Ralph Alessi playing with him?" I was also alarmed that I had never heard of the record label, Auand Records, before. This despite the fact that the Auand catalog lists approximately 50 releases featuring dates led (or co-led) by the likes of Bill Frisell, Cuong Vu, David Binney, Steve Swallow, ...
