Judy Niemack: What's Love?
by Angelo Leonardi
Potrebbe non essere gentile iniziare questa recensione ricordando l'età della signora Niemack ma per un'artista ancora così attrattiva ed efficace, l'imminenza dei settant'anni non rappresenta un problema. La cantante californiana mantiene la sua cifra espressiva, aggiungendo nuove ombreggiature vocali e un incedere più intimo e colloquiale, come evidenzia in questo disco. Come altri recenti progetti il lavoro ha subito un arresto per le restrizioni sociali della pandemia che ha fatto saltare la presentazione al Village Vanguard tre ...

by La-Faithia White
Reality Is Nuance features nine tracks from jazz guitarist Albert Vila and his trio. The trio is completed by bassist Doug Weiss, who has performed with jazz legends such as singers Joe Williams and Lizz Wright, and drummer Rudy Royston, who has performed with the late great Les McCann, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and The Mingus Big Band to name just a few. Vila is from Barcelona, Spain where he began his musical studies. He has traveled around the world gaining ...
read moreJochen Rueckert: With Best Intentions
by Dan Bilawsky
This stellar sixth album from Jochen Rueckert extends on some musical friendships while offering a fresh format and new palette. Having previously delivered his notable Introduction (Lipstick-Jazzline, 1998) some 25 years ago, greased the grooves on an appealing organ trio session with guests, and drawn notice with guitar-driven gusto on several quartet dates, this German-born, New York-based drummer-of-note now shifts focus and finds success with a chordless quintet. After developing a renewed interest in more open-ended ...
read moreAlex Hamburger: And She Spoke
by Jerome Wilson
The debut album from flautist Alex Hamburger is a strong addition to the growing number of jazz albums drawing inspiration from the work and lives of prominent female artists. She plays here the compositions of several women composers, Geri Allen, Mary Lou Williams andJoni Mitchell, and sets her own music to the words of authors Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou and her grandmother, Paraguayan poet and activist Ana Maria R. Codas. The music on the album is in a ...
read moreJustin Page: Lost and Found
by Kyle Simpler
All too often in life, people find themselves reminiscing about their past accomplishments, only wishing they could go back in time to pick up where they left off. Unfortunately, many never get the opportunity to try again. New York-based drummer Justin Page, however, is an exception. The album, Lost And Found, is an excellent comeback for this talented artist. Page was something of a child prodigy who became active in the jazz scene from an early age. He ...
read moreGustav Lundgren: Live At Fasching
by Chris May
If the Norway's Eivind Aarset is one side of Scandinavian fretboard virtuosity, Sweden's Gustav Lundgren is the other. Aarset works with experimentalists such as Jon Hassell and Jan Bang. Lundgren is more straight-ahead, evoking Jack Wilkins and Pat Metheny. Both guitarists, however, are lyrical players. If you enjoy the linear melodism of Lundgren's Live At Fasching, the chances are you will find pleasure in Aarset and Bang's recent Snow Catches On Her Eyelashes (Jazzland, 2020). The two albums are light ...
read moreEric Alexander: Leap of Faith
by Angelo Leonardi
Eric Alexander è uno dei massimi tenoristi della sua generazione. In oltre quaranta dischi da leader e un centinaio di collaborazioni, ha evidenziato piena adesione al modern mainstream, privilegiando l'esibizione in quartetti o quintetti con la tipica sezione ritmica comprendente un pianista (spesso il suo mentore Harold Mabern) o talvolta un chitarrista (Pat Martino o Peter Bernstein). Anche la relazione coi partner s'è dimostrata stabile, confermando in molti album John Webber o Nat Reeves al contrabbasso e Joe Farnsworth alla ...
