The Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin (1937-2020), who died at the beginning of the pandemic-related cultural hiatus which has been unique with regard to world history, was able to experience considerable appreciation in his last two decades, which recently gained more and more momentum. Coming from the best Soviet aristocracy of piano teaching - Kapustin was a pupil of a pupil of Horowitz's teacher Blumenfeld and then studied with the great Alexander Goldenweiser until 1961 - he was denied great recognition in the Soviet Union. As with many great piano composers since Chopin, the cycle of concert etudes from the middle of his life is particularly suitable for an introduction to this world of works. Kapustin's typical reference to jazz, which probably kept him from greater success in the Soviet years, is based on the highly individual, deliberate adaptation of stylistic elements. He got to know jazz greats such as Ellington, Basie, Cole, Garner, Peterson and others through records and the radio and picked out what suited him. The extremely sensitive, not monotonously hammering as is so often the case, approach of the Chinese pianist A Bu, who is also trained in jazz, is pleasing with regard to interpretation, and he demonstrates his affinity for Kapustin's music through two samples of his own work.

Like the Occitan troubadours and the trouvères of northern France, the Minnesänger celebrated courtly love and gave medieval German its letters of nobility. These "singers of love" — Minne is the old German word for love — thus perpetuated a poetic and musical tradition that had begun nearly two centuries earlier in Occitania. The Minnesänger, generally of noble and knightly blood, gradually emancipated themselves from their French models and developed their own styles and forms during the 13th century.

This is an intriguing set, featuring the combination of drummer Andrew Cyrille, flutist James Newton and bassist Lisle Atkinson, a different kind of power trio. The music ranges from fairly free flights to "Inch Worm" (arranged by Sheila Jordan) and two versions of "A Tribute to Bu" (for Art Blakey). Due to the variety of the material (mostly originals) and the consistent brilliance of Newton, this CD is recommended to fans of advanced jazz.

Tels des Tintin à guitares, les musiciens de Dirtmusic changent de destination à chaque album. Après leur plongée au Mali en compagnie des Touaregs de Tamikrest ou avec les musiciens d’ethnie Bwa, Ben Zabo, nous retrouvons l’Américain Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts) et l’Australien Hugo Race (ancien Bad Seeds), plongés dans une aventure en Anatolie. Quatre musiciens turcs leur font face : Murat Ertel de Baba Zula (voix, saz, baglama) qui co-signe la plupart des titres, le percussionniste Ümit Adakale qui maintient, du début à la fin, beats efficaces et polyrythmies enivrantes, la chanteuse Gaye Su Akyol qui prête sa jolie voix sur Love is a Foreign Country et Görkem Şen, inventeur du yaybahar, qui, sur Outrage et Bu Bir Ruya, déploie son instrument hybride entre violoncelle et percussion ressemblant à un Calder.

For her debut album, Swiss soprano Stephanie Bühlmann went in search of clues: based on personal encounters with works by her compatriots, she discovered musical treasures off the beaten track of the standard vocal repertoire. This is how the idea of an album of unknown songs by Swiss composers was born, most of which were recorded for the first time for the album 'Zauberluft'. Magic, air, love, nature, soul, peace and home are the themes of the songs, set to music in enchanting, airy, touching, stirring and comforting melodies in the late romantic tradition. The life dates of the five composers Richard Flury, Urs Joseph Flury, Paul Miche, Peter Mieg and Daniel Behle, who set texts in German and French, go from 1896 to the present day. Stephanie Bühlmann studied at the conservatories of Zurich and Lucerne. She deepened her studies in 'Lied singing' in the Liedduo class with Hartmut Höll and in collaboration with Daniel Behle. As a sought-after soloist, she can be heard regularly in opera and concert. Together with her lied partner Benjamin Engeli she presents with 'Zauberluft' a series of fascinating first recordings.

The Moon and I is the second album release by pianist Gabriel Latchin, featuring original compositions and interpretations of treasured standards for piano trio. “There is something perfect about the instrumentation of piano, double bass and drums. The combination just fits somehow and, in my opinion, has a timeless quality,” says Latchin. “However following in the footsteps of innovators such as Bill Evans, Ahmad Jamal and Herbie Hancock, among others, is no easy task for a pianist these days.”

This is the eleventh release in a set of 12 albums comprising the Dopplers' complete music for flute(s), including various arrangements. Flautist Claudi Arimany spent decades researching this project, inspiring many famous musicians to become involved in its realization.

In A New York Minute is good enough. Drew is an elegant foil, Cuber brought five originals to the date, and the playing is felicitous. By the end, though, the record's run out of steam, and "Sophisticated Lady" and "Caravan," the most overworked pieces of Ellingtonia, are unwelcome choices.
