Mondo Jazz

Ted Gioia nel suo blog sul sito della Oxford University fa il punto sulle uscite discografiche del momento, consigliando l'ascolto di 25 album.

Come sempre in questi casi, in base ai gusti di ognuno, ci sono titoli dimenticati e titoli in "sovrannumero". Questi sono i primi tre, gli altri li potete leggere seguendo il link:

1. Ambrose Akinmusire – The Imagined Savior Is Far Easier To Paint

Akinmusire is one of the most talented young trumpeters on the jazz scene. This release also represents a ‘return to its roots’ for the Blue Note label, which has increasingly strayed from mainstream jazz in recent years, but shows here that it hasn’t forgotten its heritage.

2. Greg Amirault – East of the Sun

Many of the most interesting new jazz albums are self-produced or issued by small indie labels. Montreal guitarist Amirault’s new CD is a case in point. He is hardly a household name in the jazz world, but this is one of the best guitar albums released in recent months.

3. The Bad Plus – The Rite of Spring

Stravinsky has been inspiring jazz artists for decades, but this ranks among the most creative reinterpretations of his work that I’ve heard. -
