Henry Threadgill 14 or 15 Kestra: Agg: Dirt...And More Dirt

Read "Dirt...And More Dirt" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Pi Recordings, under the leadership of Seth Rosner, got its start in 2001 with the simultaneous release of two CDs from avant-garde reedman Henry Threadgill, Everybody's Mouth's A Book, featuring the band Make a Move, and Up Popped The Two Lips, by the Threadgill group Zooid. This was a re-emergence for Threadgill; his three-record deal with Columbia Records had ended in 1996, with the release of Where's Your Cup. He has since made the most of his relationship with Rosner's ...

Henry Threadgill 14 or 15 Kestra: Agg: Dirt...And More Dirt

Read "Dirt...And More Dirt" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


One of only three jazz musicians to win a Pulitzer Prize in Music, for his 2015 Pi Recordings release In for a Penny, In for a Pound, Henry Threadgill is the avant-garde member of a triumvirate that includes the mainstream in Wynton Marsalis and free jazz with legend Ornette Coleman. A musical illusionist, Threadgill can create a scope of orchestration that is disproportionate to the size of its source. He can generate tremendous power and emotion without pyrotechnics or mawkishness, ...

Henry Threadgill at Tilton Gallery

Read "Henry Threadgill at Tilton Gallery" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk


Henry Threadgill Tilton Gallery Plain as plain, in plain sight New York, NY November 17, 2017 Henry Threadgill is writing a memoir. Or has written it. Or is asking people to write it for him. It may be an audiobook. It might not be about the events of his life, but it seemingly is, or will be, about the events of Nov. 17 and 18. Or maybe none of this is true.

Il 2016 in rassegna

Read "Il 2016 in rassegna" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Se nel 2016 il Guardian si è chiesto se il jazz stava entrando in una nuova età aurea ci sarà una ragione. In una confluenza di artisti affermati e nuove promesse, la vitalità dimostrata dalla musica che amiamo è rassicurante, e il mercato discografico lo conferma. La millantata “crisi del CD" continua ma il rinnovato interesse per il vinile, i cui profitti nel Regno Unito nel mese di dicembre, tanto per fare un esempio, hanno superato per la prima volta ...

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Luca Canini

Read "Il meglio del 2016 secondo Luca Canini" reviewed by Luca Canini


Un anno di ascolti. Di musica, di amori, scoperte e delusioni. Nel segno di Henry Threadgill e del suo Old Locks and Irregular Verbs, il punto più alto toccato in dodici mesi che hanno riservato più di una bella sorpresa. Sia in ambito strettamente “jazz," da Nels Cline a Wadada Leo Smith, da Cristiano Calcagnile a Piero Bittolo Bon, dagli Hobby Horse a Roscoe Mitchell, sia in quei territori che stanno al confine tra l'improvvisazione radicale, la musica elettronica, l'avanguardia ...

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Giuseppe Segala

Read "Il meglio del 2016 secondo Giuseppe Segala" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Selezionare i migliori dischi e concerti dell'anno è un bel gioco. Un gioco molto serio, che inizia in modo spensierato, mentre si inseriscono i primi titoli, ma diventa sempre più difficile quando ci si accorge che si è già verso la fine e si affollano ancora tanti lavori meritevoli. Iniziano dunque le considerazioni, si tracciano e si modificano i criteri. Insomma, diventa un giudizio arduo, anche perché l'annata 2016 non è stata certo avara di cose meritevoli. E si spera ...
