The Nels Cline Singers: Share the Wealth

by Vincenzo Roggero
February 1, 2021

L'idea era di registrare delle lunghe improvvisazioni per poi selezionare frammenti, operare un copia-incolla di davisiana memoria e dar vita ad una sorta di mosaico/collage psichedelico. L'ascolto del materiale registrato, la percezione della magia sprigionata dalle sessions e della unicità dei brani hanno cambiato le carte in tavola e suggerito di pubblicare integralmente, senza sforbiciate, quello che è diventato Share the Wealth. Ossia--nella versione doppio LP e CD (oltre ottanta minuti) registrato in soli due giorni dalla versione allargata di ...

The Nels Cline Singers: Share The Wealth

by Mark Sullivan
December 3, 2020

Guitarist Nels Cline has led the Nels Cline Singers since 2002. While they have sometimes had guest performers on their recordings, the core band has been a trio of Cline, drummer Scott Amendola and bassist Trevor Dunn (originally Devin Hoff). This album expands the group to a sextet with the addition of saxophonist Skerik, keyboardist Brian Marsella and percussionist Cyro Baptista. The experimental ante was further upped by the fact that they had never before played together in this combination, ...

The Nels Cline Singers: Share The Wealth

by Mike Jurkovic
November 11, 2020

A work of pummeling beauty, exhaustion and exhilaration await at the end of genre rogue guitarist Nels Cline's upheaval Share the Wealth, eighty minutes of magical, maniacal, free jam composition that, in perhaps a few more years down the line--if the line makes it past Election Day--we'll argue stands right up there with such and such album of equal fire and fury. Time, to which we've become too nervously accustomed, is tense, and everyone's cranked to ten or ...

Cyro Baptista's Banquet of the Spirits: Caym – Book of Angels - Vol. 17

by AAJ Italy Staff
July 12, 2011

Da non confondersi con la formazione presente su Macunaima del 2008 di Cyro Baptista, né con la compagine che l'anno seguente ha dato alle stampe Infinito , entrambi - come questo Caym - su Tzadik, l'attuale Banquet of the Spirits è un quartetto che rilegge una manciata di composizioni del deus ex machina di etichetta e operazione (si direbbe), vale a dire l'onnipresente (sempiterno?) John Zorn, negli arrangiamenti di Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, a conti fatti l'elemento più interessante della compagnia. ...

Caym: The Book Of Angels Vol. 17

by Warren Allen

CaymThe Book of Angels Vol .17Tzadik2011 Brazilian master percussionist Cyro Baptista first encountered composer John Zorn back in the early 1980s. Baptista, who has since gone on to work with everyone from singer Paul Simon to cellist Yo Yo Ma, at the time was only recently arrived in New York from Brazil. He and Zorn evidently recognized some common artistic craziness/genius between themselves, and since then Baptista's wide array of traditional ...
