Supersilent: 8

Read "8" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Per essere un super silenzio, si dovrà ammettere che è particolarmente rumoroso! Ma forse è l'essenza stessa del silenzio quella di amplificare il rumore, ciò cui abitualmente non prestiamo o non vogliamo prestare attenzione [vero, mr. Cage?]. Giungono così in dieci anni, con il loro incedere ermetico - vedansi i titoli degli album e quelli dei brani - al capitolo numero 8 [i primi 3 in un triplo, il settimo in dvd] della loro avventura sonora i norvegesi Supersilent e ...

Arve Henriksen: Strjon

Read "Strjon" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ci sono alcuni punti di riferimento che sembrano imprescindibili per molti musicisti scandinavi: in primis un profondo senso di attaccamento alla natura, a “quella" natura così suggestiva e dilatata, fatta di luce e buio, di spazio e di vento, in grado di dialogare con l'ispirazione e fornire a essa gli spazi per distendersi. È una considerazione che emerge con una certa chiarezza anche dal nuovo lavoro solista del trombettista norvegese Arve Henriksen - recentemente intervistato da AllAboutJazz Italia [clicca qui ...

Christian Wallumrød Ensemble: The Zoo Is Far

Read "The Zoo Is Far" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Le ultime tendenze scandinave sembrano privilegiare atmosfere solenni, maestose, quasi liturgiche. Si pensi agli album di Trygve Seim, o a certi echi religiosi che si possono qua e là riscontarre nella musica di Arve Henriksen. Non fa eccezione “The Zoo Is Far”, quarto album pubblicato per l'ECM da Wallumrød, che nell'occasione ha allargato il suo Ensemble (tipicamente un quartetto) e lo ha fatto diventare un sestetto. L'intento liturgico è qui chiaramente esplicito. Lo stesso Wallumrød dichiara di volersi mantenere al'interno ...

Arve Henriksen: Strjon

Read "Strjon" reviewed by John Kelman


Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen continues to mine the space between the notes, the power of silence and the beauty of nuance on Strjon. Unlike Chiaroscuro (Rune Grammofon, 2004), which was based on live improvisations, real-time sampling and subsequent post-production, Strjon is a studio concoction. While there's equal collaboration and extemporization with keyboardist Ståle Storløkken and guitarist Helge Sten--two of Henriksen's coconspirators in the fearless and forward-thinking ambient noise group Supersilent--there's also structure to be found, based on sketches that in ...

Arve Henriksen: Chiaroscuro

Read "Chiaroscuro" reviewed by John Kelman


Every now and then an album comes along that, with its purity, lack of assumption, sheer power and subtle grace, sets a new standard both for the instrument and the possibilities of music. Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henrkisen, who has been establishing a broader reputation over the past few years on recordings by Scandinavian artists including bassist Anders Jormin, pianist Jon Balke and the Anglo-Norwegian conglomerate Food, did just that with his last release, Sakuteiki (Rune Grammofon, '01). Utilizing only trumpet, ...

Iain Ballamy: Organic & GM Food

Read "Organic & GM Food" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Iain Ballamy’s Food peppers the aural senses with 2001’s Organic & GM Food, paying tribute to its inspiration while pushing the music into subconscious areas. If this record is a meal, its contents are not to be easily digested by everyone. It drives forward with a potent musical sensibility and aesthetic sense. The less traditional your tastes are, the better. I hated avant-garde music-- until now.

Free (or avant-garde) jazz sometimes gets a bad rap for being too emotive. Iain ...
