Robin Holcomb: One Way or Another - Volume 2

Read "One Way or Another - Volume 2" reviewed by Vic Albani


"Ascoltate attentamente. Abbiamo bisogno di cose come questa." (Bill Frisell) In occasione della recensione di One Way or Another -Volume 1 avevo scritto: “in poco più di trentotto minuti la signora Robin Holcomb distribuisce ancora una volta sapienza e bellezza." Devo necessariamente ripetermi per questo secondo volume che esce a due anni di distanza dal primo. Qui i minuti sono poco più di trentanove ma la bellezza è intatta e reiterata. E ribadisco ...

Robin Holcomb: One Way or Another - Volume 1

Read "One Way or Another - Volume 1" reviewed by Vic Albani


"Ascoltate attentamente. Abbiamo bisogno di cose come questa." (Bill Frisell) In poco più di trentotto minuti Robin Holcomb distribuisce ancora una volta sapienza e bellezza. Conosco poche persone che comprendono sino in fondo la grandezza di Robin. Alcuni profondi amanti del movimento jazzistico che ha scolpito quello che si potrebbe chiamare il “new jazz" dagli anni Ottanta in avanti, la ricordano quale artefice di meravigliose avventure accanto al suo compagno di vita e d'arte Wayne Horvitz e ...

Sara Schoenbeck: Sara Schoenbeck

Read "Sara Schoenbeck" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Sara Schoenbeck is cast against type in the world of bassoonists. The versatile double reed, broad-ranged instrument dates to the Renaissance and is commonly found in wind ensembles and chamber orchestras. But Schoenbeck has brought her classical-leaning instrument to creative music in an electrifying body of work. Her self-titled leader debut is the first such project of her career. A series of nine duets allows Schoenbeck to fully explore the scope of the bassoon in close settings. Not ...

Read "The Point of It All" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


In questi tempi tormentati e dilaniati, solo i poeti sanno indicare il cammino. E Robin Holcomb è una poetessa coi controfiocchi e ovviamente non sbaglia questa ennesima rarefatta occasione. Sono con lei il marito tastierista Wayne Horvitz e un manipolo di eccellenti musicisti canadesi che oscillano operativamente fra Vancouver e Seattle, certamente uno degli snodi geografici più importanti per la nuova musica di oggi. Le raffinate composizioni di Robin Holcomb danno spazio anche a riletture interessanti che si spostano, elegantemente ...
