Bryan Murray & Jon Lundbom: Beats by Balto! Vol. 2

Read "Beats by Balto! Vol. 2" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Spinning Beats by Balto Vol. 2 in the midst of a global pandemic brings to mind a quote from Zack de la Rocha: “Fear is your only god on the radio." The Rage Against The Machine frontman is begging you to turn off your radio, but somehow you just can't turn off Balto!'s beats. The brain-child of guitarist Jon Lundbom and Bryan Murray (Bryan And The Haggards, Big Five Chord), the spine-tingling essence of this music confirms what ...

Nick Millevoi, a young guitarist and composer of Philadelphia, likes to surprise, as the sheer diversity of his project demonstrates. He has the innate curiosity of the best music explorers and is equally at ease composing for large ensembles as for small rock bands. As his bio aptly puts it, Nick Millevoi is a guitarist and composer whose music searches for the sonic cracks between jazz, rock and roll, noise, and modern composition. 1. Jeff Parker: New ...

01. Jeff Parker -New Breed (International Anthem -2016). Sto ascoltando questo disco ogni giorno da una settimana. È una splendida combinazione di loops, ritmi e suoni dal vivo. Grandi brani e l'intero album possiede uno straordinario groove, è divertente e ha un suono unico. 02. Grant Green -Goin' West (Blue Note -1969). Mi piace il country-jazz e in questo album Grant Green suona brani western con Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman, and Billy Higgins! L'ho acquistato ...

Nick Millevoi: Desertion

Read "Desertion" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Nick Millevoi, giovane chitarrista e compositore di Filadelfia, ama sorprendere. Lo testimonia l'eterogeneità dei suoi progetti e delle sue collaborazioni, l'innata curiosità di esploratore di mondi sonori che lo portano a comporre per grandi ensemble come per piccoli gruppi di stampo rock. Chi avesse confidenza con Many Arms -il suo gruppo più stabile, una sorta di super trio free/punk/metal, cinque album pubblicati, due per la Tzadik di John Zorn, frequentazione ricorrente del nostro--all'ascolto di Desertion rimarrebbe, per l'appunto, spiazzato.

Nick Millevoi: Desertion

Read "Desertion" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Hailing from Philadelphia, guitarist Nick Millevoi possesses a comprehensive music vernacular and has recorded albums with the band Many Arms for John Zorn's Tzadik label amid his collaborations with renowned jazz artists and affiliations with other groups. Indeed, he's an adventure seeker and experimentalist. The guitarist employs top-flight session/solo artists, keyboardist Jamie Saft and drummer Ches Smith to round out a tightknit coalition via a program largely erected on brooding thematic currents. Millevoi's crunching chords, off-center phrasings and ...

Nick Millevoi: Black Figure of a Bird

Read "Black Figure of a Bird" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La chitarra elettrica a 12 corde può diventare un arma pericolosa in mani sbagliate. Ma il chitarrista americano Nick Millevoi dimostra di saperla utilizzare bene in queste sei escursioni in territorio free che si caratterizzano per un approccio ben strutturato e consapevole della parte ritmica. Non mancano aree dove i pendii si fanno più scivolosi ed allora è giusto lasciarsi andare con il flusso inarrestabile della musica, lasciandosi le rocce nere alle spalle. I sei brani, tutti originals di Millevoi, ...

Many Arms: Palabras Malas

Read "Palabras Malas" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Proseguendo nell'opera di distruzione delle rovine della musica rock, il trio Many Arms da Philadelphia intenderebbe raggiungere alcune posizioni vicine alla musica jazz. Lo si può intuire in passaggi progressivi, tutto sommato delicati all'interno di un brano, come in “Transfiguration of Man into Beast," dove si ascoltano vere e proprie macchine sonore i cui ingranaggi sono già pronti ad essere inceppati dai costanti cambi ritmici, tagli, stop and go. La band vorrebbe dimostrare di non essere lontana da Ornette Coleman ...
