Read "Jessica Pavone: gli album che sto ascoltando" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


1. Morton Feldman Patterns on a Chromatic Field (Tzadik, 2004) È il CD delle mie notti insonni. Lo suono nel mezzo della notte quando non riesco a dormire e vedo quello che succede. 2.

The Thirteenth Assembly: Station Direct

Read "Station Direct" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


«Where Is Brooklyn?», si chiedeva Don Cherry a metà degli anni Sessanta. Quasi mezzo secolo dopo, alla luce della nuova geografia musicale, dove sia Brooklyn non è più un mistero: esattamente al centro del jazz. È al di là dell'East River che si produce uno dei migliori “modern mainstream" del pianeta, distillato con amorevole cura da una comunità di improvvisatori che, pur nella miriade di sfaccettature, ha costruito e circoscritto una propria, precisa identità. E come in tutte le comunità ...

Violist and composer Jessica Pavone has been a fixture on the New York scene for over a decade. Her work alongside Anthony Braxton, Mary Halvorson and Taylor Ho Bynum has been well documented, revealing her skills as an inventive interpreter and improviser. Her own writing, on the other hand, has only been selectively recorded, and is often shared with collaborators like Halvorson and released on small independent labels.

Jessica Pavone: 27 Epigrams

Read "27 Epigrams" reviewed by Frank Rubolino


Epigrams are short, concise written works expressing a single thought or observation. Jessica Pavone adapted this concept to music by composing 27 short pieces for quartet (bassoon, English horn, cello, and viola); trio (marimba, Bb clarinet, and viola); and solo viola. The project spanned most of 2002 and reflected her changing moods and the textures of the seasons.

The quartet pieces were written during winter. Wrapped in solemn trappings, the product of Gil Selinger's cello and Pavone's viola establish a ...
