Ivo Neame: Strata

Read "Ivo Neame:  Strata" reviewed by Phil Barnes


Probably best known for his work as part of the much celebrated trio Phronesis, UK pianist Ivo Neame has quietly built an enviable discography encompassing sideman appearances with Ant Law and Andre Canniere along with excellent albums as leader such as 2012's Yatra. The latter in particular was a remarkably ambitious octet session that mixed clarinet from the likes of Shabaka Hutchings with the saxophones of Jason Yarde and Tori Freestone, plus the bass of Phronesis colleague Jasper Hoiby.

Read "Caught in the Light of Day" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Leggi basso/batteria/piano/vibrafono e la mente corre subito al Modern Jazz Quartet. Solo che qui siamo nella terra di Albione e nella foto interna di copertina campeggiano quattro giovanotti in jeans e camicia invece dell'austero frac indossato dallo storico gruppo d'oltreoceano. Ivo Neame ed il suo quartetto sono tra i rappresentanti di una scena musicale, spesso sotterranea, che l'etichetta indipendente Edition cerca, con grande tenacia, di portar fuori da una condizione di nicchia per assicurarle una visibilità che esca anche dai ...
