Box: Erosion

by Luigi Sforza
Una considerevole distanza separa la musica dei Boxmusic/Cargocollective--gruppo di giovani musicisti elvetici--da ogni forma di ortodossia musicale, soprattutto da quella jazzistica.

Il disco è un'opera reticolare, in cui ...

by John Kelman
Studio 1 not only represent the debut of a significant new group on the electronic improv scene, but a transatlantic supergroup at that, with musicians hailing from Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United States. Box was originally formed when writer/film-maker Philip Mullarkey brought together guitarist Raoul Björkenhiem (Krakatau, Scorch Trio), keyboardist Ståle Storløkken (Supersilent, Humcrush), drummer Morgan Agren (Mats/Morgan Band, Zappa's Universe) and bassist Trevor Dunn (John Zorn's Electric Masada, Trio Convulsant) as part of his art/film project, Box.

Source:
JazzWax by Marc Myers
In the 1960s, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson recorded on close to 30 Blue Note albums, only five of which were under his name. But most of those sideman sessions were just as significant, since Henderson was a powerful ingredient on anyone's recording date. For example, he is a dominant soloist on Kenny Dorham's Una Mas, Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder, Horace Silver's Song for My Father, Herbie Hancock's The Prisoner and others. What made Henderson special was his dry tone and ...
