Marike van Dijk Nonet: stranded
by Angelo Leonardi
Come è accaduto ad altri colleghi, la sassofonista e compositrice olandese Marike van Dijk ha fatto tesoro delle restrizioni di spostamento imposte durante la pandemia per concentrarsi sul lavoro musicale. Il risultato è questo quarto disco da leader, progettato mentre era isolata a Brisbane (Australia) per frequentare il dottorato di ricerca in tecniche di composizione astratta. Dopo aver debuttato in Olanda nel 2010 con Patches of Blue, evidenziando un suono luminoso e un fraseggio fluente da coolster, ...

by Paul Rauch
A heat dome" is created when an area of high pressure hovers over an area for days or weeks, trapping warm air underneath. The meteorological phenomena is much like a lid on a boiling pot. In late June of 2021, residents of the Pacific Northwest became plainly aware of what a heat dome is by experiencing three days of severe heat topping 108 degrees, in an area more accustomed to temperatures in the low to mid seventies. The three days ...

by Dan McClenaghan
Trumpeter Thomas Marriott settled into his groove on the Seattle-based Origin Records. He released more than a dozen discs under his own name there, including the gorgeous Romance Language (2020), a striking ballad set, and Trumpet Ship (2018), a high-energy bop workout. And then there was Crazy: The Music of Willie Nelson (Origin Records, 2008), described as having a distinctly modern and often brash tone." And Favoring some serious musical adventurousness." With Live From The Heat Dome that ...

by Chris May
Breaking news 3/23/20: Impulse! is getting its mojo back. Showing definite signs of, anyway... Since its glory days in the 1960s and 1970s, Impulse! has been little more than a logo wheeled out by its parent company, Universal Music, to lend credibility to unrelated one-off projects. Until very recently, the only newly recorded release worthy of Impulse!'s imprimatur was Alice Coltrane's swansong, Translinear Light, in 2004. Fast forward to 2018: A new dawn for ...
read moreTom Collier: Impulsive Illuminations
by Dan McClenaghan
Vibraphonist Tom Collier offers up something quite different from his previous Origin Records CDs, where he covered the jazz standards like John Coltrane's Giant Steps; Miles Davis' So What," and some seemingly unlikely pop hits: The Rolling Stones What a Shame" and Brian Wilson's God Only Knows," alongside his own always engaging compositions. With Impulsive Illuminations, the thirty year University of Washington educator (now retired) explores the world of improvisation with pianist Richard Karpen, in the trio mode, with five ...
read moreTom Collier: Across The Bridge
by Dan Bilawsky
Ruminations on the past, musical or otherwise, are often weighed down by the sediment of sentiment. But it certainly doesn't have to be that way. Looking back can provide an outlet for the imagination to take control, and vibraphonist Tom Collier seems well aware of that. On Across The Bridge, Collier revisits his youth, delivering nine original numbers that touch on a childhood spent on the opposite side of the West Seattle Bridge from where he currently resides. It's a ...
read moreCuong Vu: Leaps of Faith
by Jerry D'Souza
Over the last 10 years, trumpeter Cuong Vu has made an impact as an innovator who filters music through the prism of his imagination. He has been agile enough to fit into bands as diverse as those led by Myra Melford and Pat Metheny, and has also carved a niche for himself as a leader who turns his compositions into distinctive portraits of startling imagery. On Leaps of Faith, he focuses his attention on three jazz standards, two pop tunes ...

On Friday, September 28th, New Haven's Firehouse 12 will present a two-set performance by New York-based drummer/composer Ted Poor and his new trio featuring saxophonist Loren Stillman (sitting in for Chris Potter for this performance) and bassist Scott Colley.

Critics have called ...
