Ahanes: Petrichor

Read "Petrichor" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


This European sextet, with members from Athens and Stockholm, dishes out an absorbing journey through diverse soundscapes which blend genres effortlessly throughout the four tracks. Hence, the album immerses the listener in a rich tapestry of sonic exploration.Ahanes confidently navigate through diverse musical territories, seamlessly weaving together disparate elements of jazz, electronica, and ambient sounds. This amalgamation creates a wraithlike stratosphere which feels familiar and refreshingly novel, noticeable on the artists' layered and bursting cover of John Coltrane's ...

Konrad Agnas: Rite of Passage

Read "Rite of Passage" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Un jazz che attraversa varie acque, sempre--si direbbe--con la bussola ben orientata, è quanto ci propone questo album inciso nell'ottobre 2021 dal quartetto diretto dal trentatreenne batterista svedese Konrad Agnas (secondo nome Amadeus, come già qualcun altro...). La musica che vi si ascolta non si lancia in particolari voli pindarici (o salti nel vuoto, che sono poi di fatto pressoché sinonimi), muovendosi su terreni per lo più vitali, anche vivaci, ben presenti sotto il profilo ritmico (il leader, nonché autore ...

Daniel Bingert: Ariba

Read "Ariba" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Figlio d'arte--il padre Hector, leggendario sassofonista uruguaiano trasferitosi in Svezia negli anni sessanta, ha suonato tra gli altri con Nat King Cole, Buddy Rich, la Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Orchestra, Tina Turner--Daniel Bingert è figura importante della scena musicale svedese. Fin dagli anni novanta si è esibito nei più svariati contesti passando dalla big band di latin jazz guidata insieme al padre al gruppo fusion--free-punk denominato JH3. Ariba giunge tre anni dopo il sorprendente debutto di Berit in Space, ...

Konrad Agnas: Rite Of Passage

Read "Rite Of Passage" reviewed by Mark Corroto


For Konrad Agnas it is all about the pulse, and you may be thinking it is because his day job description is drummer. We have heard him at the drum set in Alberto Pinton's trios, quartet, and sextet, Johan Lindström's Septett, a large version of the Angles, and various other assemblages. With Rite Of Passage he leads from his drum seat plus steps out with co-production, composing credits, and some synthesizer for this session. Maybe the American equivalent to this ...

Child Of Illusion: Khimaira

Read "Khimaira" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Nowadays, billionaires pay inordinate sums of money to leave Earth's atmosphere aboard rockets, just to float in space. The more modest of us can get the same effect listening to Khimaira by the trio Child Of Illusion. Recorded live in Stockholm, in 2018, this release follows the trio's initial eponymous offering from Clean Feed Records, released the same year. The trio is alto saxophonist Chris Pitsiokos from the United States, Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos Silva who lives in Sweden, and ...

Johan Lindstrom: On the Asylum

Read "On the Asylum" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Un settetto stellare con alcuni dei maggiori protagonisti della scena musicale svedese che aveva debuttato nel 2018 con lo splendido Music for Empty Hall più l'apparizione di Elvis Costello nel brano di apertura. Due indizi sufficienti a suscitare più di una curiosità intorno a On the Asylum, seconda uscita discografica dell'ensemble di Johan Lindstrom, specialista della steel guitar, collaboratore di Nils Petter Molvaer, Patti Smith, Per Texas Johansson, Sly & Robbie, compositore, produttore, sound designer. E soprattutto creatore di mondi ...

Johan Lindström Septett: On The Asylum

Read "On The Asylum" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Multi-instrumentalist and composer Johan Lindström issued his 2018 septet debut Music For Empty Halls (Moserobie Music) to global accolades. The unique set was nominated for a Swedish Grammy, an award which Lindström had captured on four previous occasions. The debut was noted for its unhurried and democratic approach to creative ensemble music. On the Asylum, the second outing of the Johan Lindström Septett surpasses its predecessor as a stunning and eclectic project. Lindström is not yet well-known in ...
