by Geno Thackara
Perhaps the biggest success of Liberation Time is that its title feels sincere and not ironic. Such a sentiment could have easily come out as a cute bit of wishful thinking under the restrictions of pandemic life. Being who he is, though, John McLaughlin inevitably finds the value and positivity even in this strange state of affairs. “The wonderful thing about music is that you put the headphones on and you are all in the same room," he says in ...

Reed player Julian Siegel has been an important part of the London jazz scene since the late 1990s, when he cofounded Partisans, a high-energy quartet completed by guitarist Phil Robson, bassist Thad Kelly and drummer Gene Calderazzo. The band is pretty much beyond category, although it is usually billed as jazz-rock. Unlike normative jazz-rock outfits, however, Partisans is anchored firmly in the acoustic tradition, Robson's plugged-in guitar aside. Also contrary to the jazz-rock norm, Partisans, as its name suggests, has ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Se mai vi imbatteste in questa cantante svedese non tirate diritto. Fermatevi ad ascoltarla. Emilia Mårkensson nasconde per ogni riccio dei suoi lunghi capelli una sorpresa. Ha incontrato a 15 anni il jazz. E non si è spaventata di certo. Lo ha affrontato con l'ingenuità della sua età, ma anche con il coraggio incosciente di chi non sa proprio di affrontare una montagna. Che si è dimostrata subito disponibile. Piattaforma di lancio le serate al ristorante di famiglia. Tra una ...
