Michele Rabbia - Gianluca Petrella - Eivind Aarset: Lost River

Read "Lost River" reviewed by Geno Thackara


There is a bewitching soundscape from a group of subtle and skilled aural sculptors on this beautifully abstract ECM Records session. The players' backgrounds touch on jazz, electronics, European folk and much more, but none of that really matters here. Their approach on Lost River is free of form and convention in the most liberating sense. That doesn't mean they go atonal or meander going nowhere as some free jazz does; it does mean their open-ended improvisations create an immersive ...

Michele Rabbia - Marilyn Crispell - Vincent Courtois: Shifting Grace

Read "Shifting Grace" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La grazia mutevole del titolo potrebbe fare riferimento un po’ a tutte le cose che vengono in mente ascoltando questo disco: la rapidità con cui il suono improvviso sembra fuggire nella sua irripetibilità; il passaggio di una penna su un foglio simulata nel pezzo “Fantasia su uno scritto”; la corsa dell’archetto sulle corde del violoncello e tutto sommato l’empatia impossibile da fissare in un tempo. Quella di un incontro a tre che porta a costruzioni assolutamente estemporanee, ma ricche di ...
