Neil Duggan includes Nugara album "The Last Question" among the 12 best Jazz Albums of 2025 on All About Jazz US "This is simply a terrific piano trio release, with a twist. That twist is the addition of the outstanding trumpeter Giovanni Falzone on four tracks; his creativity blends seamlessly into the project, adding color and extending Nugara's soundscape. [..]Each member of the trio brings an equal voice to the album's complex, melodic flow. The compositions are consistently strong, so strong that

Dexter Gordon - More Than You Know wins the annual Jazz Awards of Paris Move & Bayou Blue Radio as the Best Historical Jazz Album 2025 Here is an excerpt from the review: "Ce double album dépasse donc largement le simple plaisir d’écoute qu’il procure. Il constitue une page essentielle de l’histoire du jazz, gravée à jamais dans la mémoire de Gênes, qui peut s’enorgueillir d’avoir accueilli une telle soirée. Grâce à GleAM Records, ce moment-là nous revient, intact, vibrant, nécessaire, un document précieux que

“Ecco in azione, per la prima volta in studio come ensemble, un sestetto fiorentino con molte frecce in faretra. […] Impianto classico hard bop, linea di fiati con sax, tromba e trombone, composizioni raffinate e maturo gusto negli arrangiamenti, con molti riferimenti al jazz westcoastiano che fu.” Guido Festinese - Il Manifesto - Numero del 28 Novembre 2025 FULL ARTICLE HERE

"Emerging in the mid-1940s, Dexter Gordon became a jazz legend celebrated for his bold yet melodious phrasing, which gained him wide popularity and exerted a major influence on later giants such as Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. A live album featuring entirely unreleased recordings by Gordon has now been issued as the first release in GleAM Records’ JAZZ HISTORY series. The time and place: an Italian jazz festival in July 1981. The lineup features his working band of that period, including Kirk Lightsey,

“La publicación de More Than You Know por GleAM Records marca un hito en la recuperación de grabaciones históricas del jazz. Este álbum, registrado en vivo en 1981 durante el Festival Estate Jazz en Génova, Italia, presenta a Dexter Gordon en uno de sus momentos más inspirados, acompañado por un cuarteto de lujo: Kirk Lightsey (piano), David Eubanks (contrabajo) y Edward Gladden (batería). La historia detrás de esta grabación es tan fascinante como su contenido. Un cassette olvidado, redescubierto décadas después, dio

“Dexter Gordon, ou devrait-on dire Dale Turner tant il fut charismatique dans ce rôle dans le film mémorable de Bertrand Tavernier sorti en 1986, Autour de minuit. Sa nomination pour l’Oscar du meilleur acteur était une revanche méritée sur les années sombres qu’il avait connues aux Etats-Unis, son addiction aux drogues dures, la prison, le racisme quotidien. Mais dès les années soixante, un public européen réceptif le plébiscitait, le considérant comme l’un des plus grands ténors planétaires, ce qui avait eu

“The album has been meticulously restored by Tommy Cavalieri at Sorriso Studios in Bari. Working from a deteriorated cassette plagued by tape hiss and magnetic degradation, Cavalieri painstakingly preserved the original performance while eliminating hiss, correcting pitch fluctuations and rebalancing the stereo channels. The result is a superb restoration that reveals the recording's true character. This performance captures Gordon at a particularly inspired moment, sparking off the other band members as his solos unfold, a testament to his enduring influence and truly

So Far es el debut como líder del contrabajista y compositor italiano Stefano Rielli, publicado por GleAM Records en 2025. Se trata de un disco breve —apenas supera los 30 minutos— que se escucha en un suspiro, pero que deja una huella clara gracias a su cuidada selección de temas y su enfoque interpretativo. Rielli se presenta con discreción, pero con una propuesta sólida que combina respeto por la tradición del jazz post-bop con una sensibilidad contemporánea (..)So Far es una declaración de amor al jazz, una fotografía sincera del

"Ferdinardo Romano plays bass with weight and conviction, and is the one who leads the other musicians through the six compositions with solid, Italian confidence. This has become an extremely exciting, creative and interesting release, where these four, relatively young musicians give us a history lesson where they creatively interpret the history of this part of Italy. Just listen to the opening, "La Torre del Serpe" and the closing track, "Re Artù", and you will get the variations in the music and
