Francesco Chiapperini: Italian Mottetto

Read "Italian Mottetto" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


ancesco Chiapperini = 33312}}, clarinettista, flautista, sassofonista, compositore e direttore musicale assai apprezzato, continua l'esplorazione di mondi e di tradizioni musicali/culturali attraverso formazioni pensate per l'occasione. In The Big Earth (Rudi Records, 2018) era un ensemble di dodici elementi per un omaggio alle marce funebri della tradizione pugliese; in On the Bare Rocks and Glaciers (Caligola, 2021) un quintetto di fiati più violino rendeva protagonista la montagna, con le sue asprezze e le sue magie, in Italian Mottetto (Caligola, 2026) ...

Giancarlo Nino Locatelli: A Decent Run

Read "A Decent Run" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Who needs poetry in an age of internet memes, infinite scrolling and artificial intelligence? Poems ask us to linger over words, to discover meaning in silence as much as in language. Memes, by contrast, are consumed in an instant and forgotten just as quickly. We live in a culture that increasingly prizes immediacy over reflection, image over text and distraction over contemplation. So who still needs poetry? Italian clarinetist Giancarlo Nino Locatelli makes a compelling case that we all do. ...

Pipeline: Ahead Of July

Read "Ahead Of July" reviewed by Mark Corroto


With most recordings, listeners are conditioned to identify a leader. Typically, it is the artist whose name appears on the cover, or occasionally the composer responsible for the material. Pipeline upends that expectation. This is unequivocally an ensemble recording, and to further complicate matters, all of the music is collectively credited. For those familiar with the Pipeline project, this may come as a surprise. The concept was created by clarinetist Giancarlo Nino Locatelli, also one of the proprietors of We ...

Roberto Bonati: Si erano vestiti dalla festa

Read "Si erano vestiti dalla festa" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Il CD di questa suite di Roberto Bonati, eseguita il 23 ottobre 2022 nel corso del festival ParmaJazz Frontiere e pubblicata due anni dopo, ci giunge in ritardo, quando il prolifico leader, didatta e direttore artistico ha pubblicato altri lavori con la Chironomic Orchestra e il Madreperla Trio. Ci sono però opere--come questa--il cui valore artistico e simbolico va oltre l'attualità e si rapportano invece con la storia del proprio Paese. Il titolo è tratto da una poesia di ...

Roberto Bonati ParmaFrontiere Orchestra: Si erano vestiti dalla festa

Read "Si erano vestiti dalla festa" reviewed by Duncan Heining


"Si erano vestiti dalla festa"--They had dressed up for the party. In August 1922, citizens of Parma barricaded the city against a planned assault by Mussolini's blackshirts. They resisted valiantly and repelled the fascists. No fascist passed that day. A few months later, in October, King Victor Emmanuel III appointed Mussolini prime minister. The heroes of Parma were not forgotten and their bravery is embedded in Parma's popular history. Roberto Bonati and his orchestra chose to celebrate their ...

Roberto Bonati Chironomic Orchestra: The Gesture Of Sound / The Gesture Of Colour

Read "The Gesture Of Sound / The Gesture Of Colour" reviewed by Duncan Heining


Someone once said that writing about music was as illogical as singing about economics. Writers about music inevitably bristle at the suggestion but it might have merit when it comes to improvised music. How do you write about something that can never be recreated, even when recorded and preserved for posterity? We can discuss its method of creation, the sounds made by those who perform it, its colours and textures and our emotional and intellectual responses to it in much ...

Beatrice Arrigoni: Terrestre

Read "Terrestre" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


L'ultimo album di Beatrice Arrigoni in quartetto esplicita i risultati di un percorso di ricerca più che decennale, che ha portato la cantante ai riconoscimenti critici dell'ultimo Top Jazz, quale artista emergente nazionale. Dopo studi di pianoforte classico nell'infanzia, il diploma ai Civici Corsi di Jazz di Milano nel 2013 e il percorso accademico in Canto Jazz al conservatorio meneghino, un momento cruciale è venuto nel 2015 con la frequentazione dei Laboratori di Ricerca Musicale condotti da Stefano Battaglia a ...
