La gravità degli ottoni

Read "La gravità degli ottoni" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Ogni tanto ci piace accorpare incisioni omogenee sotto il profilo strumentale, e poi magari diversissime per esiti espressivi e poetica che le informa. È il caso dei quattro album che trovate qui di seguito passati al vaglio, riuniti nel segno del trombone, in prima istanza, e degli ottoni gravi più in generale.

Joe Fiedler Trio: I'm In

Read "I'm In" reviewed by Troy Collins


I'm In is trombonist Joe Fiedler's fourth recording with his longstanding trio and the second on his Multiphonics Music imprint. This session marks a departure of sorts for Fiedler's adventurous three-piece, finding the trombonist, new bassist Rob Jost and stalwart drummer Michael Sarin exploring more traditional blues and jazz forms than heard on the group's previous albums, Sacred Chrome Orb (Yellow Sound, 2011), The Crab (Clean Feed, 2007), and Plays The Music of Albert Mangelsdorff (Clean Feed, 2005).A ...

Joe Fiedler: Sacred Chrome Orb

Read "Sacred Chrome Orb" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Non si può certo dire che manchi coraggio al trombonista Joe Fiedler (lui sostiene che la pronuncia corretta è 'Faidler,' probabilmente a seguito di una discendenza tedesca). Affrontare la sfida di questo album alla testa di un ottimo trio composto, oltre che dal suo trombone, da basso e batteria, lo porta immediatamente al centro del ring. Il trombone di Fiedler è ruvido ed efficace, grumoso quanto basta per sfrangiare a dovere la componente timbrica. La mancanza del pianoforte lo libera ...

Joe Fiedler Trio: The Crab

Read "The Crab" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Quando si ascolta un disco eseguito da tre musicisti il primo pensiero che guizza nella mente è quello di confrontarlo col trio di Jimi Hendrix, un vero tsunami che colpì il mondo della musica alla fine del 1966. Dopo di allora nulla fu più lo stesso. Ma c’è un altro trio attivo in quegli anni (per l’esattezza iniziò la propria attività più o meno tre anni dopo) che ha lasciato una traccia importante, anche se un po’ dimenticata, nel jazz ...

Joe Fiedler: The Crab

Read "The Crab" reviewed by Laurel Gross


Trombone can be incredibly affecting and riveting, but is too often an underappreciated instrument, not always receiving the full respect or platform it deserves, even when its inborn versatility is masterfully handled by practitioners who grapple with its challenges and make it soar. No matter what music, mood or master it serves, this long and shiny sliding thing is extremely capable of conveying the distinct personality and intent of each artist who fights the worthy battle to realize its (and ...

Joe Fiedler: Plays the Music of Albert Mangelsdorff

Read "Plays the Music of Albert Mangelsdorff" reviewed by Andrey Henkin


If ever there was evidence of a prejudice against European jazz players, it is the fact that trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff (1928-2005) never before had a tribute album done in his honor. Even more damning is research showing that his compositions--over a hundred--have never been played without him. Trombonist Joe Fiedler has ended this sorry streak with a wonderful homage to a musician who is underappreciated in this country. The only bittersweet thing about the disc is its ...

Joe Fiedler: Plays The Music of Albert Mangelsdorff

Read "Plays The Music of Albert Mangelsdorff" reviewed by Troy Collins


Trombonist Joe Fiedler has a diverse resume that boasts membership in everything from Phillip Johnston and Gary Lucas' Fast N' Bulbous: The Captain Beefheart Project and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra to countless Latin jazz ensembles, including Ed Palermo's big band. This album however, focuses solely on one of Fiedler's own personal interests, the music of the late Albert Mangelsdorff. Fiedler and company engage in a fairly daunting yet remarkably untried task. With an entire album of Mangelsdorff-penned ...
