Cecil Taylor Orchestra Humane: At Iridium 2004

Read "At Iridium 2004" reviewed by Jack Kenny

by Jack Kenny

At Iridium 2004 is a vast work. Cecil Taylor also leaves behind similarly vast territories of sound: the 10-disc Feel Trio recordings 2 Ts For A Lovely T (Codanza Records, 1995) or the monumental In Berlin '88 box (FMP, 1989).

Read "Parrhesia" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Trombettista, improvvisatore, compositore, docente, avvocato. Allievo prima, a lungo collaboratore poi, di Bill Dixon. Si chiama Stephen Haynes, dalle nostre parti è pressoché sconosciuto, ma è uno di quei straordinari personaggi che vivono lontano dai riflettori e rivestono un ruolo fondamentale nel mantenere vivo, rinnovare, sviluppare l'arte musicale e relativi legami con territorio e tessuto sociale. Capelli radi e folta barba bianca con Parrhesia Stephen Haynes licenzia il primo album da leader. Siamo naturalmente nei territori del free, non quello ...
