Musician

Paal Nilssen-Love

Born:

Paal was born in Molde, Norway, December 24. 1974, and raised at a jazz club in Stavanger, run by his parents. It was natural to choose his fathers drums as his instrument and jazz as his work. From 1990 on he took actively part in the jazz milieu in Stavanger and joined bands with established musicians such as trumpeter Didrik Ingvaldsen and saxophonist Frode Gjerstad. In many ways, these collaborations were essential as they pointed out the directions for Paal's later musical development and career. During his studies at the Jazz dept at the University in Trondheim, where the first self initiated bands were established, things developed really fast--and Paal was nationally acknowledged at the age of 20. The forming of the quartet Element in 1993 in many ways represented the start of a new phase in Paal's musical life

Brötzmann / Nilssen-Love: Chicken Shit Bingo

Read "Chicken Shit Bingo" reviewed by Mark Corroto


We lost Peter Brotzmann in the summer of 2023. The saxophonist and champion of free jazz passed at the age of 82. There may be no more live appearances from the great man, but there will be posthumous releases. Hopefully, all will be as spirited and compelling as Chicken Shit Bingo, a duo with Norwegian drummer ...

Frank Carlberg, Karl Evangelista & Benoit Delbecq

Read "Frank Carlberg, Karl Evangelista & Benoit Delbecq" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Thelonious Monk has always been a magnet for jazz pianists. Frank Carlberg's fascination with the mysterious Monk has led to a second recording with his large ensemble. It's called Elegy For Thelonious. San Francisco guitarist Karl Evangelista is one who tends to fly under the radar, but his recent What Else Is There?, recorded in Chicago, ...

The center piece is the 70-minute title cut for a dozen musicians, but the album also includes two discs ...

Rodrigo Amado The Bridge: Beyond The Margins

Read "Beyond The Margins" reviewed by John Sharpe


The Bridge may be one of the most potent all round units assembled by Portuguese tenor saxophonist Rodrigo Amado. That is saying something considering his previous alliances with collaborators as varied as multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee, trumpeter Peter Evans, trombonist Jeb Bishop and drummer Chris Corsano. This time out his partners read like an extract from an ...

John Coltrane & Eric Dolphy, Clemens Kuratle & Francois Bourassa

Read "John Coltrane & Eric Dolphy, Clemens Kuratle & Francois Bourassa" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


The original broadcasts of One Man's Jazz on Taint Radio happen about a month before they are posted on AAJ, so back in June I was excited as many others to play the only track we could from the new Evenings At The Village Gate: John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy. I suspect by now, that album ...
