A unique melody-based mixture of the most diverse atmospheres: On “my history of jazz” Iiro Rantala presents his very own view
of the evolution of jazz. With his special combination of humour,
intelligence and “almost limitless techniques” (German radio station
hr2) he frames the album with compositions by Bach.
“My history of jazz" is the logical counterpart to Rantala's ACT debut "Lost Heroes",
on which he built a unique personal monument to past musical paragons
and kindred spirits – so unique, in fact, that it won him the Echo Jazz
and the annual German Record Critics Award, amongst others. There too,
the Finnish classical composers Jean Sibelius and Pekka Pohjola were of course
also among the inspirations, as were the entirely dissimilar jazz piano
legends Art Tatum, Erroll Garner and Michel Petrucciani. This time,
great composers find their way into Rantala's kingdom, like George
Gershwin ("Liza"), Kurt Weill ("September Song"), Duke Ellington and his
valve trombonist Juan Tizol ("Caravan"), Thelonious Monk ("Eronel") and
the Swedish cool jazz saxophonist Lars Gullin ("Danny’s Dream"). act records
"Live at Coventry Cathedral is one of those genuine musical rarities, an
album drawn from a largely improvised performance that has the potential
to resonate with, and impact upon, an audience far wider than one would
normally associate with such music.
Of course the very term improvised is laden with expectations
not all of them positive ones so its also worth mentioning that words
like melodic, atmospheric, rhythmic? can equally be applied to the
music.
Fripp provides solo runs that most guitarists could only dream of
conjuring, while Travis demonstrates the kind of incisive lyricism on
flute or soprano sax that makes him such a substantial presence in both
jazz and rock settings. Its no surprise that both of these musicians
can improvise successfully; such an approach is at the heart of their
solo, group and collaborative efforts. What is remarkable is that this
is not the result of an established duo who have played together for
years, but of a far more occasional basis of operation - a mere handful
of performances to date." Tracklist:

Que, com va passar fa uns mesos, un dels millors pianistes del jazz comtal ofereixi un concert en solitari és motiu més que suficient com per atansar-se al club de Ciutat Vella. I és que poques vegades podem fruir del piano-jazzman per antonomàsia del nostre país en el format més íntim de tots...

El bateria Marc Ayza, un dels músics més avesats a concebre el club com un laboratori, fa anys que reclama a través de la seva obra poc ortodoxa una trobada entre el hip hop, el soul, el jazz i altres expressions de les músiques populars contemporànies...

"Il progetto “Irene Grandi & Stefano Bollani” è rappresentato da cover ricercate e mai banali, che spaziano dai suoni del Brasile, all’Europa, da grandi classici del passato a quelli più moderni di autori contemporanei. Il disco contiene anche due inediti, uno dei quali scritto da Cristina Donà e Saverio Lanza. Irene Grandi e Stefano Bollani saranno anche impegnati con una tournèe che prenderà il via a novembre. http://www.grandibollani.com http://www.facebook.com/IreneGrandiStefanoBollani "
Free playing, Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s “Oft Am I Glad”, tunes by Bill Evans and George Russell, a Norwegian hymn, contemporary composition by Ola Gjeilo, a Wolf Biermann protest song, Ariel Ramirez.’s folkloric “La Peregrinacion”, ... Wide-ranging repertoire has become a hallmark of Bobo Stenson albums. But it’s not just the eclecticism that is striking: Stenson, Jormin and Fält take these far-flung sources and make an organic, breathing music out of them ... Stenson, of course, has long been one of the greats of Scandinavian jazz, and an ECM artist since the first years of the label. But there is a balance of energies in this particular trio – clear-edged lyrical piano playing, rootedness and keen choice of notes from the bass, and detailed, textural drumming – that is especially satisfying. Recorded in Lugano in November and December 2011.

"Continuum"
Continuum - a continuous non-spatial whole or extent or succession in which no part or portion is distinct or distinguishable from adjacent parts - the continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past. Although circumstances and events may appear to change dramatically over time, there is always a thread running through it all, establishing a continuity of consciousness and spirit.
"Continuum" – the composition and recording – represents the integration and coalescence of a wide variety of musical and stylistic experiences spanning several decades, illustrating the continuity or “Continuum” through many seemingly disparate elements of my musical journey. To provide continuity for this project, I reassembled the band from “Free Fall” (with the exception of Tom Harrell and Larry Schneider), my first studio recording as a leader, recorded in 1978.
I feel incredibly privileged to have once again been able to surround myself with some of the most talented and creative musicians on the planet: Jerry Bergonzi, Mike Richmond, and Jeff Williams. The incredible Randy Brecker joins us on trumpet and flugel horn. And guitar wizard Mike Stern honors us with a special guest appearance on one tune.
I feel equally privileged and excited to be joined for this performance by the superb Joe Magnarelli, Tim Ries, Mike Richmond, and Jeff Williams.
Guitarist and composer Albare (pronounced al bear ) presents an excellent sextet production recorded in New York. The ensemble is iTD, and the album is a tribute to the human spirit of adventure. Harmonica virtuoso Hendrik Meurkens regularly wins international critics polls with his own recordings. He was born in Germany and has been based in New York for 20 years. George Garzone worked with many jazz greats such as Michael Brecker, Jack DeJohnette, Danilo Perez, J. Tacuma, John Abercrombie, Kenny Barron, and Chick Corea. Argentinean-born Leo Genovese embraces experimental forms, having studied classical and contemporary music at home before moving to Boston to attend Berklee College. From performances at Carnegie Hall to touring with Esperanza Spalding, Leo s prowess takes on many guises. Antonio Sanchez, three-time Grammy® winner, is one of the most indemand drummers on the international scene, who works with Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Charlie Haden, and more. amazon.com
"Don't Explain" is an impressive documentation of a vibrant musical partnership. And the best birthday present for Heinz Sauer's 80th.: A musical tightrope act without a net. When told he was considered one of the fundamental greats of German Jazz, Heinz Sauer replied that he saw himself "neither as old nor as a master". So although the saxophonist, who will be celebrating his 80th birthday on 25 December 2012, is rightfully known as "a giant" (FAZ) and "grand master of saxophone" (DIE ZEIT), after all, he has been at the centre of European jazz history since his beginnings at the side of Albert Mangelsdorff. But in principle he remains to this day an adolescent; the kind of artist who knows that the path to mastery doesn't have a final destination. ACT

During his over half-century on the scene as sideman and leader, Harold Mabern has played with such greats as Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Wes Montgomery and Sarah Vaughan. With his long-time colleague, Eric Alexander, Mabern romps and stomps through an interesting repertoire of songs associated with, surprisingly enough, Sammy Davis Jr., for whose musicianship and his humanity the pianist has a great deal of respect and admiration. And it is the same type of musicianship and humanity which comes to the fore in Mr. Lucky, Harold Mabern's first recording as a leader for HighNote Records. Track Listings 1. The People Tree 2. As Long as She Needs Me 3. Soft Shoe Tranin' With Sammy 4. Hey There 5. I've Gotta Be Me 6. Mr. Lucky 7. What Kind of Fool Am I? 8. Night Song 9. Something's Gotta Give
Having absorbed a huge variety of sounds and styles and incorporated them into his playing -- from harmonically adventurous post-bop to gospel-tinged blues -- pianist George Cables mines the mother load of jazz elements on his 2012 HighNote release, fusing Bud Powell's feeling, Fats Waller's juke joint geniality and Art Tatum's quick wit into his own persuasive utterances. Cables' searching and intense interpretations use the source material as a jumping-off point for his unique and quirky improvisations, and his writing is more profound and more expressive than ever. amazon.com

“Lovers Holiday” was born of necessity for new Christmas songs. Swinglab (pianist, Ray Mabalot, bassist, John Dahlman and drummer, Woody Hume and vocalist, Jason Paul Curtis) played four nights a week the month of December, 2011, to sprawling Christmas crowds at Washington DC’s National Harbor. They soon learned that an hour set of Christmas jazz standards (great as they be) ran a little thin after the first “Winter Wonderland”. By mixing in standards, especially ones with wintery lyrics, the quartet struck a fresh, balanced balance that both adults and kids could listen to for hours.
As early as January, 2012, Jason began writing new Christmas songs, beginning with the title track, “Lovers Holiday”. In his own words, ”I wanted holiday songs for couples, new couples, young couples, but also couples going through the experience of creating Christmas for their children and looking for that romantic moment when the kids are asleep”. Four more round out the originals list: “Good This Year”, “Blue Friday”, “Our Time of Year” and “Winter Wind”. Special guest big band Swing Machine weighs in on a 60’s swank arrangement of “I’ve Got My Love to Keep me Warm” as well as the new, “Our Time of Year”, both arranged by Scott Ragsdale.

"Larry "Stonephace" Stabbins has long been a maverick. He was an inventive free-jazz saxophonist in the 1970s, then a significant figure on the dance-jazz scene through his co-leadership of Working Week, with guitarist Simon Booth. His last album (with Portishead's Adrian Utley) had trip-hop connections, but sax inspirations Pharoah Sanders, Albert Ayler and John Coltrane are evident on this sparky set, and that classy pianist Zoe Rahman cranks up the McCoy Tyner-like energy at every turn. Stabbins' Ayler-like cry opens the disc against piano and percussion eddies, but a 1970s-Tyner Latin-jazz feel soon arrives, and reappears at various tempos. The leader's playing spans spine-tingling, high-register soprano sax (Anomalous Monism), tenor-ballad opulence (White Queen Psychology), multiphonic pleadings (Transcendental Euphoria) and delicate flute with Rahman's coaxing piano (Immanence). The incantatory Coltrane approach receives a devoted tribute from the whole hard-grooving band on the Latin-dance finale Soul Train. They play a Southbank freestage gig at the London jazz festival on 17 November." John Fordham / guardian.co.uk

SCOPRI IL GRANDE JAZZ MADE IN ITALY A UN PREZZO UNICO
FRANCO CERRI
E Venia Da' Campi Che Di Cerri Sentia
Solo per questa settimana 5 Euro anzichè 9.00
Mercoledi in quel di Milano mi sono imbattutto alla presentazione del nuovo album di Irene Grandi e Stefano Bollani in piazza Piemonte. Durante alcune domande dei fans Stefano riconosce tra il pubblico Franco Cerri e gli tributa un sentito e dovuto omaggio ( cito "uno dei piu' grandi musicisti italiani ). E chi può contraddire oggi Bollani ? Quindi grazie a casa Red Records del grande Sergio Veschi permetteteci di presentare in formato liquido ( flac 16bit - qualita' pari a quella del cd ) questo bellissimo album del 2008 per continuare a conoscere i grandi jazzisti che hanno fatto realmente la storia del nostro jazz ma in questo caso anche la storia della musicaitaliana
La passione per la musica prende corpo a cavallo della seconda guerra mondiale e, dopo aver ricevuto in dono dal papà Mario la desideratissima chitarra, matura grazie al sodalizio con l’amico e pianista Giampiero Boneschi con il quale inizia ad approfondire la conoscenza del jazz. Cominciata la sua carriera nel 1945, al fianco di Gorni Kramer con Bruno Martelli, Franco Mojoli, Carlo Zeme e il Quartetto Cetra, Cerri si è subito trovato nel 1949 a suonare con Django Reinhardt, la sua prima, vera influenza chitarristica. Ha suonato con quasi tutti i più grandi jazzisti italiani ed è felice e orgoglioso di aver scoperto e incoraggiato il giovane e straordinario talento di Dado Moroni. E’ stato alla testa di quartetti e quintetti propri, nei quali figurano anche talenti della scena italiana quali Gianluigi Trovesi e Tullio De Piscopo. E’ intervenuto in più di 750 trasmissioni televisive e ha condotto alcuni programmi della Rai tra i quali: "Fine serata da Franco Cerri", "Jazz in Italia", "Jazz in Europa", "di Jazz in Jazz" e "Jazz primo amore". Dagli anni '70 ha cominciato a sviluppare il lavoro di arrangiamento, riflettendo sulla partitura, le peculiarità del suo stile. Nel 1980 ha inaugurato il sodalizio con il pianista e compositore Enrico Intra con il quale ha fondato e dirige i Civici Corsi di Jazz di Milano organizzando anche rassegne concertistiche. Sul versante didattico, ha realizzato nel 1982 (con Mario Gangi, per quanto riguarda la chitarra classica) per il gruppo editoriale Fabbri, un corso di chitarra in sessanta lezioni arrivato alla quinta edizione e diversi metodi di jazz tra i quali spicca "Chitarra Jazz – sviluppi – approcci – esperienze", scritto con Paolo Cattaneo e Giovanni Monteforte e pubblicato in prima edizione da Ricordi nel 1993.
