Eve Risser: Après un rêve

Read "Après un rêve" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Ventiquattro minuti, un unico lungo brano, dal vivo all'FGO Barbara di Parigi il 16 febbraio 2018, bastano a Eve Risser per dirci tutto e il contrario di tutto: che si può partire lancia in resta, forti di idee, smalto, inventiva, e strada facendo perdere la bussola, smarrire idee, smalto e inventiva, rifugiandosi in un'iteratività decisamente troppo insistita che trasforma gli ultimi minuti—ma progressivamente quasi tutta la seconda metà—della performance in un percorso abbastanza sofferto (per chi ascolta). ...

Eve Risser & Kaja Draksler: To Pianos

Read "To Pianos" reviewed by Ian Patterson


It's easy to forget that the piano is a percussion instrument, so hardwired are out brains to expecting tunes you can hum or whistle from its eighty eight keys. In this work commissioned by Jazz Festival Ljubljana and recorded there in 2016 and 2017, pianists Eve Risser (France) and Kaja Draksler (Slovenia) certainly mine the percussive sonorities of their two pianos but they explore so much more besides. Essentially, the duo's aim in these part through-composed, part-improvised pieces is to ...

Read "Eve Risser: 88 tasti e magia" reviewed by Enrico Bettinello


Pianista, compositrice, improvvisatrice tra le più originali e interessanti attualmente sulla scena europea, la francese Eve Risser sta ottenendo un sempre più crescente successo e affetto. Merito della sua musica, complessa e particolare, ma sempre dotata di uno speciale calore comunicativo, anche nei suoi frangenti più astratti. Merito della sua capacità di credere e investire in progetti come la White Desert Orchestra (il cui disco Les Deux Versant Se Regardent, uscito pr la Clean Feed è ...

Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2017

Read "Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2017" reviewed by Stefano Merighi


Fotografare lo stato dell'arte nell'ambito del jazz e delle musiche limitrofe è compito che il festival di Saalfelden svolge assai bene ormai da decenni. Non solo la rassegna austriaca non rinuncia ad alcuna delle sue prerogative estetiche (apertura massima rispetto agli stili contemporanei, volontà di anticipare tendenze, capacità di realizzare prime esecuzioni mondiali), ma anzi, trova la ricetta per combinare radicalità e piacevolezza logistica, coinvolgendo realtà locali e innumerevoli sponsor, con una formula impensabile da noi in Italia. Certo, di ...
