by Neri Pollastri
Dopo quattro anni dal precedente (ed eccellente) Thinking Beats Where Mind Dies, torna il quartetto Dark Dry Tears di Danilo Gallo, formazione che si avvale alla batteria del formidabile Jim Black e che è completata dalle ance di Francesco Bigoni e Massimiliano Milesi-- unica new entry, a sostituire temporaneamente Francesco Bearzatti. Il lavoro presenta tutti brani originali firmati dal leader, con una cifra molto precisa ancorché espressa in situazioni dal colore tra loro diverso. Due gli elementi ...
read moreJim Black Trio: Reckon
by John Sharpe
The piano trio field is a big one, even that corner reserved for the evenly poised triumvirate heirs to Bill Evans. But drummer Jim Black's unit carves out its own distinctive acre. On the fourth album since its inception in 2011 the threesome, completed by NYC-based, Austrian-born pianist Elias Stemeseder and bassist Thomas Morgan, has reached the stage where they have total trust in one another.

The four musicians cannot be pinned down to one genre. Together they create a unique style with seemingly incompatible elements: warm-blooded tenor sax, jumpy keyboards and propulsive bass ...

by Vic Albani
Sembra che il signor Jim Black non sbagli praticamente mai un solo colpo. Il batterista di Seattle, dai primordi accanto a nomi faro quali quelli di Tim Berne, Ned Rothenberg o Dave Douglas e poi alle personali esperienze seminali di Pachora e AlasNoAxis è cresciuto come poche altre figure che nobilitano il movimento musicale del jazz contemporaneo. Malamute è l'ultima proiezione del nostro, ponderata dopo una lunga stagione di concerti e entrata dunque in studio ben carburata e ...
