Jon Corbett Dangerous Musics: Kongens Gade
Jon Corbett, alternandosi ai suoi strumenti a fiato, propone un susseguirsi di frasi crepitanti e veloci, ma brevi, spaziate da frequenti pause, quasi seguendo il ritmo naturale della respirazione. Il pulsare scuro del contrabbasso di Stephens, pizzicato o archettato, e il drumming di Moholo-Moholo, implacabile ma quasi ovattato nel sound, forniscono un sottofondo indubbiamente ben caratterizzato, nella classica tradizione free, ma forse troppo omogeneo.
In definitiva, l'identità culturale, la coerenza dell'approccio e l'autenticità espressiva di questa musica sono incontestabili, ma essa risulta decisamente troppo uniforme, troppo insistentemente ribadita, oltre a non essere rappresentativa della creatività jazzistica più attuale.
