Sam Rivers Quintet: Zenith

Read "Zenith" reviewed by John Sharpe


Concertgoers must have been forced back in their seats by the intensity of Sam Rivers opening foray at the 1977 Berlin Jazztage Festival. After an annunciatory tenor saxophone burst, he goes for the jugular with fierce vocalized overblowing atop a churning four piece rhythm section. But if that sounds forbidding, then like the audience, listeners to this historic recording, released as the second installment of NoBusiness Records' estimable Sam Rivers Archive Project, following Emanation (2019), should be enthralled by the ...

Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain, Chris Potter: Good Hope

Read "Good Hope" reviewed by Emmanuel Di Tommaso


Un frammento di mare aperto increspato dalle correnti e attraversato, al centro, da una successione di lettere che compongono il titolo del disco, Good Hope, e i nomi dei suoi autori: Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain e Chris Potter, membri componenti del Crosscurrents Trio. Fin dall'immagine di copertina, il disco esprime un senso di libertà selvaggia, di assenza di confini, di unione di molteplici e complessi elementi. I componenti del Crosscurrents Trio si conoscono da diversi anni e alcuni ...

Charles Rumback, Kuzu and More

Read "Charles Rumback, Kuzu and More" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


There's a slight Chicago flavour to this episode. Drummer Charles Rumback hooked up with noted New Orleans bassist James Singleton for Rumback's latest recording, Cadillac Turns. In an odd twist of strange, Singleton approached a jet-lagged Rumback in a bar in Sydney Australia and said he had seen Rumback playing in a Chicago bar a few nights earlier. Turns out Rumback had seen Singleton there as well, but didn't approach the bassist who has been a favourite of the drummer ...

Il Meglio del 2018 Secondo Neri Pollastri

Read "Il Meglio del 2018 Secondo Neri Pollastri" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Anche quest'anno, faticosamente e responsabilmente, ho selezionato tra i miei numerosi ascolti dodici dischi e dieci concerti che potessero essere considerati se non “i migliori," quantomeno “tra i migliori." La selezione è fatalmente influenzata non solo dalle mie predilezioni (non si può ascoltar tutto e fatalmente ci si concentra su ciò che per qualche ragione ci incuriosisce di più), ma anche da aspetti contingenti, quali il fatto che vivendo in Italia ho più occasioni di ascoltare musicisti che vivono qui ...

Dave Holland: Uncharted Territories

Read "Uncharted Territories" reviewed by Don Phipps


Bassist extraordinaire Dave Holland's album Uncharted Territories embraces the avantgarde creed of exploration and innovation over chord progressions. Along with master musicians saxophonist Evan Parker, keyboardist Craig Taborn, and percussionist Ches Smith, Holland and crew fashion one sonic twist after the next in a progression of 23 tracks, 20 of which are recorded improvisations. The “double" album allows each of the musicians plenty of room to awe the listener with soundscapes that seem to dissolve and reform. Light ...
