Lina Nyberg: The Clouds

Read "The Clouds" reviewed by Troy Dostert


In a career spanning almost three decades--her first release, Close (Prophone), with Esbjörn Svensson, dates from 1993-- vocalist, composer and arranger Lina Nyberg has worked with many of the finest musicians in the Swedish jazz scene to create a truly formidable body of work. Nineteen albums later, her creativity shows no signs of abating. In fact, with The Clouds, a project featuring a tentet of first-rank colleagues, Nyberg is poised to reinforce her place at the vanguard of chance-taking European ...

Viktor Skokic Sextett: Basement Music

Read "Basement Music" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Basement Music, the title of bassist Viktor Skokic's premiere as a band leader, refers not to the social isolation of the 2020 global pandemic, but to the sites of his compositional efforts. Written in his basement, and recorded prior to the lockdown, the music is actually the converse of social distancing—'converse' as in conversation. His 'Sextett' navigates some precarious and complicated directions, such as the album's opener “Tre." Constructed as a puzzle with odd-shaped pieces, the music favors sharp turns, ...

AP6C Alberto Pinton Sestetto Contemporaneo: Layers

Read "Layers" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Un sestetto dalle geometrie indiscutibilmente inusuali sta al centro di questo nuovo, ancora una volta ottimo, lavoro del veneziano (ma da tempo immemorabile svedese d'adozione) Alberto Pinton, che si destreggia fra sax baritono, clarinetti e flauti vari determinando (ma non è una regola fissa) le dinamiche dei nove brani che compongono l'album, tutti a sua firma tranne “Il tempo intanto correva," che è un'improvvisazione collettiva (i testi, laddove presenti, sono per parte loro della cantante del gruppo, Selma Pinton, figlia ...

AP6C: Layers

Read "Layers" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Have you been wondering lately, where all the thoughtful music has gone? Today we have universities teaming with technical wunderkinds who can flawlessly navigate “Giant Steps" or “Cherokee," and recordings that are showcases of dexterity and complexity, but much of it is devoid of the essence of meaning, in other words, soul. That is, until you push play on Layers by Alberto Pinton Sestetto Contemporaneo (AP6C). The Italian-born, Sweden resident Pinton has released multiple recordings with his quartet ...

Alberto Pinton: Opus Facere

Read "Opus Facere" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Attivo in Svezia dal 1985, il sassofonista veneziano Alberto Pinton occupa una posizione di rilievo nel jazz scandinavo d'avanguardia, per il suo ruolo di leader (con questa e altre formazioni) che per le collaborazioni con vari organici. Quest'incisione segue il live giapponese pubblicato lo scorso anno (Live in Japan Wildcat House) dov'era protagonista lo stesso pianoless quartet con l'eccezione del bassista Yasuhito Mori che sostituiva Torbjörn Zetterberg. Le ottime valutazioni tributate a quel lavoro dalla stampa internazionale si ...

Mountweazel, Tim Haldeman & More

Read "Mountweazel, Tim Haldeman & More" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Musicians are no different than many of us as we move from place to place for reasons of opportunity, love, employment, school, freedom, safety and peace. This week's edition of One Man's Jazz features three sax players who have done just that. Sweden's Alberto Pinton is Italian, but has lived in Sweden for many years. You'll hear music from two different Pinton-led groups: his trio and his quartet Noi Siamo. Also Italian, but now living in Berlin, is Davide Lorenzon, ...

Alberto Pinton: Live in Japan

Read "Live in Japan" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Live in Japan inaugura una nuova etichetta giapponese, la Wild Cat House, label dedicata alle registrazioni live effettuate al Gallery & Café Yamaneko-ken presso il lago di Ogose in Giappone. Titolare della registrazione è Alberto Pinton--sassofonista, clarinettista, flautista e compositore veneto da anni residente in Svezia--con il gruppo denominato Noi Siamo (per l'occasione il bassista della formazione originale Torbjorn Zetterberg è sostituito egregiamente da Yasuhito Mori). La musica è un esaltante mix di energia e di controllo, ...
