David Haney: Blues Royale

by AAJ Italy Staff
June 11, 2007

Ci sarebbe di che essere intrigati e stuzzicati dall’ultimo lavoro targato CIMP del pianista David Haney (recentemente ascoltato nell'apprezzabile The Music). Innanzitutto, dalla composizione dell’atipico terzetto di musicisti: un pianista, Haney per l’appunto, e due contrabbassisti, Mike Bisio ed il fedele Adam Lane. Una formula a dir poco inusuale, che non può non risvegliare la curiosità dell’ascoltatore disposto a lasciarsi sorprendere. E poi, non capita spesso di imbattersi in un musicista giovane e smaliziato che abbia il coraggio e la ...

David Haney Trio: The Music

May 25, 2007

Il “jazz da camera" ha avuto uno dei suoi migliori momenti con il trio di Paul Bley insieme a Steve Swallow e Jimmy Giuffre e quasi non stupisce che sia un altro pianista canadese, David Haney, a proseguire sulla stessa via e con lo stesso tipo di formazione, insieme al trombonista Julian Priester. Questa seduta di registrazione per la CIMP è stata preceduta da numerosi scambi di opinioni e di demo con il produttore. Dopo anni di prove, ascolti, telefonate, ...

David Haney Trio: The Music

by Derek Taylor
July 17, 2006

David Haney has a talent for concocting recondite tune titles. The five-part “Pteradactyl Lunchbox cycle on the pianist's debut CIMP session is only one reflection of a remarkable intellect that revels in both humor and hand-spun absurdism. The disc's title is another, distilling its contents down to a most basic signifier and eschewing any sort of promotional embellishment. Musically, Haney and his A-list colleagues, Julian Priester and Adam Lane, are less difficult to draw a bead on. The program, which ...

David Haney Volume One (solos) Volume Two (duets) Volume Three (trios) CIMP Records 2004

Originally from Canada, the Portland, Oregon-based pianist and composer David Haney seems to garner more attention each year, though many ears have yet to be exposed to the music and sounds created by this improviser who utilizes the inside of the piano as much as the keys themselves. With a slim discography, these three new releases ...

David Haney Quartet: Caramel Topped Terrier

by Glenn Astarita
February 1, 2002

Canada-born pianist/composer David Haney states that the premise for this recording was based upon “spontaneously composed" material, although the artist subsequently replaced piano tracks on three pieces. Haney's resume includes liturgical and chamber works, hybrid jazz/classical improvisations, and music for ballet. This recording features jazz greats Julian Priester on trombone and Han Bennink on drums. The program is segmented into solo piano interludes, ensemble pieces and duets with the pianist and Priester. Haney utilizes rhythmic structures for the basis of ...
