Anthropods: Anthropods

Read "Anthropods" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


American drummer/composer Mark Holub--currently residing in Vienna--is the founder of the ultra-hip jazz quintet, Led Bib. Yet he presents somewhat of a U-turn on his debut as a leader, which leans more toward progressive chamber, spiced with nouveau classical overtones and spunky rock grooves, all consummated by engaging improv among the performers.

E, a tal proposito, numerosi sono i nomi di gruppi eterodossi e “senza frontiere" che vengono in mente: Troyka, Aquarium, The Quartet, Polar Bear, Blue Touch Paper e altri. Ovviamente, tra questi ci sono anche i Led Bib, quintetto capitanato dal batterista e compositore Mark Holub, qui alla loro quinta ...

Led Bib: Sensible Shoes

Read "Sensible Shoes" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


I tempi cambiano. Una volta si ascoltavano e si scriveva dei Led Zeppelin, oggi dei Led Bib. A parte il “Led" del nome non c'è però nulla in comune fra le due band. Solo il fatto che ci sono 30 anni più o meno di storia di mezzo. “Scarpe Sensibili" è il bel titolo del rumoristico quarto lavoro ascritto a questo quintetto londinese, guidato dal dinamico drummer statunitese Mark Holub. Led Bib è un chiaro segno dei tempi, che sta ...
