Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Dulcet Crush
by AAJ Italy Staff
Potremmo soffermarci a discutere a lungo sul fatto che Dulcet Crush non contenga sostanziali elementi di novità. Che oltre quarant'anni fa Miles Davis aveva aperto la porta della contaminazione tra jazz e rock in maniera praticamente insuperabile. Che anni dopo un personaggio come Kip Hanrahan abbia rimescolato le carte introducendo sofisticate strategie produttive e vette assolute ...
Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Dulcet Crush
by Glenn Astarita
With his third group-led album for hatOLOGY, trumpeter Manuel Mengis projects multiple vistas within a progressive-jazz framework, spanning fusion, jazz-rock and experimental aspirations. Yet the key aspect lies with his ability to design a distinct band-centric stylization, as each subsequent release yields an extension of previously exercised routes.

Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Dulcet Crush
by Mark Corroto
Experiencing the music of trumpeter Manuel Mengis, a standard list of musicians and musical styles heard in his music comes to mind. This is a disservice, because his methodology is quite original.

Mengis' music is less intense in its passions--less tortured and confrontational--than Mingus,' ...
Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Into the Barn
by AAJ Italy Staff
Trombettista e compositore svizzero trentatreenne, Manuel Mengis debutta con un lavoro traboccante di energia che mette in luce le sue buone doti strumentali ed il fantasioso metodo compositivo. I referenti espressivi più evidenti sono Miles Davis per la dimensione solista e l'estetica “downtown" rappresentata dai gruppi Electric Masada di John Zorn, Latin for Travellers di Bobby ...
Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Into The Barn
by Glenn Astarita
Swiss-reared trumpeter/composer Manuel Mengis is sort of a newbie on the Euro-jazz scene. On this debut effort, he surfaces--through his music and scope of ideas--as a free spirit, although his music merely skirts the free zone during certain movements. Leading his Swiss sextet, Mengis surfaces as a remarkably mature 33 year-old who embraces a ...
