Giacomo Papetti The Loom: Chorale
by Neri Pollastri
La metafora del telaio (The Loom) si attaglia senza dubbio molto bene a questa formazione del contrabbassista Giacomo Papetti: i quattro musicisti coinvolti, infatti, pur offrendo ciascuno un contributo di assoluto valore, non si prendono quasi affatto spazi solistici, ma per tutta la durata del lavoro collaborano alla creazione di una fitta e ricca tessitura collettiva, ovvero Chorale, come da titolo dell'album. In questo caso il “telaio" di Papetti pare impegnato nella tessitura di arazzi, perché i brani ...

by Neri Pollastri
Basandosi su un'intesa consolidata e sulla loro vena compositiva, Fulvio Sigurtà e Stefano Onorati, accompagnati da Gabriele Evangelista al contrabbasso e Alessandro Paternesi alla batteria, realizzano un album piuttosto atipico per il panorama nazionale, in quanto né “mediterraneo," né ispirato alle novità d'oltreoceano, ma aperto, modale e fortemente narrativo senza esser melodico. Il lavoro si basa sì su composizioni --sette su nove del pianista toscano, le altre due del trombettista--, tuttavia la loro interpretazione è non solo ricca ...

by Neri Pollastri
Prosegue l'omaggio alla musica di Bill Frisell da parte degli Unscientific Italians che, dopo il disco uscito nel 2021, presentano adesso un secondo volume, proposto anche in un doppio vinile assieme al primo. La formazione è la medesima, anche se ci sono un paio di avvicendamenti in alcune tracce: musicisti in larga parte precedentemente membri del collettivo di El Gallo Rojo--nel cui interno, nel 2008, era nato il progetto, poi lasciato inattivo per dieci anni--o comunque frequenti collaboratori ...

by Chris May
Poetry & Jazz has a checkered history. When combined, the two art forms are not so much a marriage made in heaven as an obstacle course. The biggest danger is that one of them is verbal and the other is non-verbal and at its best transcends words. The second danger is that the better the poetry and/or the jazz in question, the more intrusive may be their competing demands for the listener's attention. Notespeak 12 is top-end poetry ...

by Ian Patterson
Few would argue against Bill Frisell's status as one of the most singular and influential guitarists/composers since around 1980. And yet, the Baltimore-born musician remains something of an enigma: easy to admire but a tad more difficult to pin down. Instantly recognizable from just a handful of notes, Frisell is, at the same time, a musical polyglot, the breadth of whose music—particularly his myriad collaborations—is perhaps unparalleled. How best then to approach his music? The Unscientific Italians, an ...

by Mario Calvitti
Arrivato a farsi conoscere in età relativamente tarda (aveva già passato i trenta anni quando ha inciso il primo disco da titolare per la ECM, preceduto da un paio di collaborazioni con due illustri artisti della stessa etichetta come Arild Andersen e Jan Garbarek), Bill Frisell si è subito imposto come una delle voci nuove più importanti nel mondo del jazz e della musica improvvisata, non solo per il suo personalissimo approccio alla chitarra che lo ha fatto diventare un ...

by Bruce Lindsay
The Oldest Living Thing is trumpeter and composer Sigurta's sixth album as leader or co-leader, his fourth for the Cam Jazz label. He's also recorded with pianist Francesco Turrisi and as a member of Nostalgia 77. For this album he's joined by acoustic guitarist Federico Casagrande (who shares writing duties) and Steve Swallow on electric bass. Sigurta and Casagrande form an empathic partnership and prove to be complementary in their writing styles. Both men leave plenty of space ...
