Fieldwork: Thereupon

Read "Thereupon" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Early in his recording career, pianist Vijay Iyer formed his most compelling group, Fieldwork. The initial album release, Your Life Flashes (Pi Recordings, 2002) broke new ground and put down the roots from which everything Iyer has created in 20-plus years has grown and flourished. Iyer's recording career began in 1995 with Memorophilia (Asian Improv). The ensuing 30 years have seen more than a score of albums from the pianist in a leadership role as well as dozens ...

Ivo Perelman & Tyshawn Sorey: Parallel Aesthethics

Read "Parallel Aesthethics" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Saxophonist Ivo Perelman and drummer/pianist Tyshawn Sorey are two of the most imaginative improvisers on the creative music scene. Perelman, who thrives in small groups, particularly duets, is as prolific as he is innovative. Meanwhile, the versatile Sorey, who also composes, is a consummate experimenter who successfully embraces diverse styles. This meeting of brilliant minds results in the superb Parallel Aesthetics, a two-disc set of spontaneous musical conversations. The overall ambience is expectant and the exchanges vary from ...

The Fury: Live in Brooklyn

Read "Live in Brooklyn" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


È quella del chitarrista Lage Lund la firma principale di questo album squisitamente corale (fin dal nome in ditta): tre dei sette brani complessivi sono infatti suoi, due di Mark Turner, uno del contrabbassista Matt Brewer, e in più c'è l'unico brano non dovuto a membri del gruppo, il primo, a firma del sassofonista Myron Walden. Il linguaggio che ne risulta è del tutto coeso, congruo, un linguaggio che definiremmo “medio" (che non significa mediocre, attenzione), non particolarmente ...

Tyshawn Sorey and Sandbox Percussion at 92NY

Read "Tyshawn Sorey and Sandbox Percussion at 92NY" reviewed by Paul Reynolds


Tyshawn Sorey and Sandbox Percussion 92NY “Max Roach at 100" New York City February 21, 2025 Serious and uncompromising artist that he was, drummer Max Roach would have appreciated the singularly offbeat--if you will--tribute that Tyshawn Sorey paid to him at 92NY. “Max Roach at 100" was a salute to a jazz giant that eschewed the artist's best-known jazz playing. No bebop or hard bop. Not even an unaccompanied drum solo, to recognize that ...

Vijay Iyer: Compassion

Read "Compassion" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


L'ottavo album da titolare del pianista Vijay Iyer per la ECM è anche il primo a riprendere una formazione già utilizzata, per la precisione nel precedente Uneasy pubblicato nel 2021, non considerando un altro disco in trio ma con differenti interpreti (Break Stuff, del 2015). Negli altri lavori Iyer ha spaziato dalla suite cameristica con un quartetto d'archi (Mutations) al sestetto (Far from Home), dai duetti con Wadada Leo Smith e Craig Taborn (a cosmic rhythm with each stroke e ...

Kim Cass: Levs

Read "Levs" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Cosa c'entrano Karlheinz Stockhausen, Arnold Schoenberg e Pierre Boulez con l'arte visiva e con l'inchiostro delle partiture? Ce lo spiega nelle sintetiche e un po' enigmatiche note di copertina lo stesso Kim Cass, bassista dalle frequentazioni eccellenti e dalla mente aperta. Poi, si sa, quello che conta è il risultato finale, dove la miscela degli ingredienti utilizzati deve risultare perfettamente amalgamata e cotta a puntino. Ed è quello che succede in Levs. A proposito di menti aperte, Kass ...
