Uwe Oberg, Joe Fonda, Lucía Martínez: Relight

by John Sharpe
January 15, 2020

The presence of bassist Joe Fonda guarantees an outward bound listen which still has some foothold in conventional tonality.

Oberg / Mahall / Griener: Lacy Pool_2

by Glenn Astarita
June 14, 2017

Pianist Uwe Oberg didn't follow a straight and narrow path when putting together this formidable European trio. There is no bassist, and Rudi Mahall performs solely on clarinets, as most listeners would expect a soprano saxophone to be the mainstay of any band that pays homage to the late, modern-era jazz pioneer Steve Lacy.

Si è soliti definire l'improvvisazione senza rete, nelle sue manifestazioni più alte, come composizione istantanea, in tempo reale.

These upper-echelon European improvisers offer a grab bag of tasty treats in front of an audience at the Festival Just Music in Wiesbaden, Germany. This 2015 performance consists of three works, but the 35-minute opener “Drifter," is a tour de force amid a macrocosm of delicate phrasings, succinct shadings, ethereal background treatments and scorching, climactically driven ...
