Vincent Peirani: Jokers

Read "Jokers" reviewed by Jim Worsley


In the early 1970s, jazz and rock intersected, and fusion was spawned. In the new millennium, fusion and progressive rock are sometimes bopping down the same road. Music can easily get slotted into one category or another, and of consequence can just as easily be missed. Vincent Peirani's dynamic new recording Jokers, is a fine example of that quandary. Peirani has several records to his credit. Here he plays Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson on accordion. Yes, you read ...

Read "Living Being" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Musicista emergente d'oltralpe, eclettico con collaborazioni che vanno dal folk alla classica e con musicisti di ogni latitudine (si pensi a quella, ormai collaudata, con la cantante Youn Sun Nah), Peirani è qui alla testa del suo quintetto, composto da coetanei con i quali condivide l'esperienza della musica fin da giovanissimo. Il repertorio in programma è volutamente vario e disorganico, includendo un paio di omaggi--a Jeff Buckley e al grande clarinettista Michel Portal, che di Peirani è stato ...
