Rodrigo Amado: La Grande Crue

Read "La Grande Crue" reviewed by John Sharpe


Inviting guests to supplement his core bands has proven a winning formula for Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado in the past, and the gambit bears fruit again on La Grande Crue. This time out, French pianist Eve Risser is the plus one, following in the footsteps of trombonist Jeb Bishop, trumpeter Peter Evans and pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach. She joins the outfit known as The Attic, completed by Amado's countryman bassist Gonçalo Almeida and Dutch drummer Onno Govaert. Amado's ...

The Attic & Eve Risser: La Grande Crue

Read "La Grande Crue" reviewed by Troy Dostert


While it is always challenging to keep up with the prolific output of saxophonist Rodrigo Amado, one consistently sure bet is his Attic trio, which has been a working ensemble since at least 2017, with a series of stellar recordings that have helped stake Amado's claim as one of the premier free improvisers of his generation. Accompanied by drummer Onno Govaert and bassist Gonçalo Almeida, who joined the trio on its sophomore release, Summer Bummer (NoBusiness, 2019), Amado navigates his ...

Torino Jazz Festival Varie sedi 22--30.4.2023 Sono molte le ragioni che hanno fatto del Torino Jazz Festival un evento di grande successo: il costo dei biglietti decisamente abbordabile, la buona promozione mediatica, la distribuzione dei concerti in vari spazi, anche periferici, idonei alle diverse proposte musicali, la mirata serie d'iniziative collaterali con il coinvolgimento dei partner opportuni...

Eve Risser Red Desert Orchestra: Eurythmia

Read "Eurythmia" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Welcome to the jungle. Composer, pianist, and orchestra leader Eve Risser sends us greetings from the wilds. It is this forest she has been exploring with European and West African musicians. Her expedition is a hypnotic journey dense with percussive attacks and mesmeric states. The twelve piece Red Desert Orchestra is an extension of Risser's White Desert Orchestra, which gave us Les Deux Versants Se Regardent (Clean Feed, 2016). Here the influence of her Malian musicians is quite ...
