Something Borrowed

Read "Something Borrowed" reviewed by Patrick Burnette

by Patrick Burnette

In this third podcast on some of the best-reviewed jazz of the 2010's that we missed the first time 'round, the boys look at four albums that 'borrow' something, whether inspiration from a sci-fi author, jazz protests of the sixties, or jazz greats of the past such as Charlie Parker or Duke Ellington. It's a light pop matters segment this time but little known indie band The Bolshoi and Italian horror soundtrack maestros Goblin do get a mention.

The Renewal of AACM: Nicole Mitchell, Mike Reed, Tomeka Reid, Matana Roberts

by Russell Perry

This is the first hour of the successor series which aims to give voice to the current jazz scene and appreciates its countless creators. In 1965, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians was founded with the motto, “Great Black Music, Ancient to the Future." In 2015, AACM ...

Jazz em agosto Lisbona 1-4.8.2019 Resistenza e narrazioni. Questo in sintesi il filo conduttore dell'edizione 2019 di Jazz em Agosto, in corso di svolgimento come sempre presso la fondazione Gulbenkian a Lisbona. Un'edizione “militante," dunque, sebbene non così originale come in altre occasioni, vista la ripresa di spettacoli già presentati in altri festival lo scorso anno. Una riflessione ad alta voce e a suoni spiegati su ciò che ...

Nicole Mitchell: Maroon Cloud

Read "Maroon Cloud" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Un quartetto alquanto anomalo, di stampo sostanzialmente cameristico, ripreso dal vivo al National Sawdust di Brooklyn a fine marzo 2017, cuce insieme quest'ambizioso lavoro commissionato a Nicole Mitchell da John Zorn e dedicato ai maroon (in italiano cimarroni), cioè quei gruppi di africani deportati (o loro discendenti) che a partire dal sedicesimo secolo, in particolare nei Caraibi, sfuggirono alla schiavitù dando vita a comunità in aperto contrasto col potere dei bianchi, che spesso razziavano e comunque combattevano a vari livelli, ...

by AAJ Italy Staff

Volume 1 | Volume 2 | Volume 3 Some cling to the belief that jazz is in crisis or worse, dead.

Il meglio del 2017 secondo Vincenzo Roggero

Read "Il meglio del 2017 secondo Vincenzo  Roggero" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Tempo di consuntivi e di classifiche. Piuttosto complicato, decisamente parziale ma comunque divertente estrarre dal cilindro del 2017 dodici titoli rappresentativi. Così tra conferme che profumano di classicità -Craig Taborn, Steve Coleman, Nicole Mitchell, Rob Mazurek -, debutti clamorosi -Jaimie Branch -, ritorni tanto attesi -Arto Lindsay -, connubi sorprendenti -Iggy Pop con il trio di Jamie Saft-, e una vitale scena italiana ci apprestiamo, curiosi, ad un nuovo anno di ascolti. Dischi Ferdinando Faraò Artchipel ...
