Ned Rothenberg: Solo Improvisation In Bizarre Times

Read "Ned Rothenberg: Solo Improvisation In Bizarre Times" reviewed by Lawrence Peryer


Today, The Tonearm's needle lands on composer and improviser Ned Rothenberg. Ned's first solo album in thirteen years, Looms & Legends (Pyroclastic Records), shows why he's been called America's most intimate composer and improviser. Ned's improvisations and compositions showcase his use of extended techniques such as circular breathing and multiphonics, while others tell stories through melody. He calls it music for an imaginary culture, sounds that feel indigenous to a place that doesn't exist yet. Ned ...

Ned Rothenberg: Looms & Legends

Read "Looms & Legends" reviewed by Troy Dostert


Solo recordings, at least when they feature instruments other than piano or guitar, can be a challenge even for the most committed jazz listeners. The excitement generated by the dialogue of multiple instrumentalists is, of course, missing, and even the most talented artists can have trouble sustaining one's interest for an entire album. Such releases can be rather rewarding, however, when the musician in question has either astonishing technique or compelling emotional substance--or both, as is evident on multi-instrumentalist Ned ...

Samo Salamon Ra Kalam Bob Moses Orchestra: Dream Suites vol. 1

Read "Dream Suites vol. 1" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Basta scorrere i nomi dei musicisti coinvolti nell'operazione per capire di quale rappresentatività per una data scena della più creativa e verace attualità jazzistica “unga" questo assolutamente notevole album cofirmato dal chitarrista sloveno Samo Salamon e dal batterista newyorchese Bob Moses. Lo compongono tre soli ampi brani (dai tredici minuti alla mezz'ora appena scarsa) incisi nel novembre 2023 e fondati sulla pratica della libera improvvisazione (non si parla neppure di conduction, in questo caso), raggiungendo una dimensione formale assolutamente invidiabile, ...

Read "Ned Rothenberg all'Atelier Culturale di Brescia" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Ned Rothenberg Secret Concert Atelier Culturale Brescia 15.11.2019 I geografi del '500 tracciavano sulle carte il frutto delle loro esplorazioni, con tratto preciso e ricchezza di dettagli iconici, evocando il carattere di terre, popolazioni, animali, piante.

Ned Rothenberg, Hamid Drake: Full Circle – Live in Lodz

Read "Full Circle – Live in Lodz" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Full Circle--Live in Lodz è parte di un notevole, ghiotto catalogo di documenti registrati dal vivo in Polonia dall'etichetta Fundacja Sluchaj, in cui figura un ampio ventaglio di musicisti che alloggiano nell'empireo del jazz improvvisato contemporaneo. Nel caso di questo CD siamo di fronte all'accoppiata formidabile di Ned Rothenberg e Hamid Drake. Quello che si può immaginare sulla carta di fronte a tale abbinamento è ampiamente mantenuto e superato nel disco. Fin dall'esordio del CD, affidato alla ...
