Era dai fasti di Tiny Resistors (uscito nel 2008 per la Cryptogramophone dell'amico Jeff Gauthier e che invitiamo a riascoltare per la bellezza che lo ammanta) che il signor Todd Sickafoose non regalava al mondo un nuovo lavoro. Inneggiato da più voci quale coerente ed intelligentissimo musicista nonché compositore e produttore Sickafoose è stato talmente occupato da non avere avuto tempo per dilettarsi ancora una volta con l'idea che lo ha subito posto all'attenzione del mondo musicale sin ...

by Leo Sidran
Bassist and composer Todd Sickafoose shows up in a lot of places: on stage with singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, drummer Allison Miller or violinist Jenny Scheinman, behind the scenes as a record producer for artists like Noe Venable and Anais Mitchell, orchestrating the music for the Broadway musical Hadestown (which earned him both a Grammy for record production and a Tony for orchestration), and as a bandleader.

Bassist Todd Sickafoose released only one album as a leader prior to this one, Tiny Resistors, (Cryptogramophone, 2008). However, he has kept busy in the music world since then. He has extensively worked as a sideman and producer, including collaborating with singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, and he has orchestrated the Broadway musical, “Hadestown," winning a Tony award in the process. Now he is back with an album that reaffirms him as one of those musicians who are ostensibly based in jazz ...

by Mike Jacobs
Perhaps currently better known for his long-standing gig with singer/songwriter Ani DiFranco and his recent TONY/GRAMMY-winning work on the Broadway musical “Hadestown," Todd Sickafoose's third album, Tiny Resistors (Cryptogramophone, 2008) is something that should not be left to fly under the radar. As its opener “Future Flora" shows, the album displays Sickafoose's unique ability as a bassist/composer/bandleader to blend and develop simple, melodic motifs into fascinating and memorable pieces that afford plenty of legroom for his smartly-populated ensembles.

by AAJ Italy Staff
Ascoltando Phonation, ci si chiede a quale viaggio, a quale percorso sonoro stiamo assistendo. Si tratta senza dubbio di un viaggio solitario dell'autrice, il cui tentativo è quello di costruire una nuova musica folk: accostare suoni e brani che indaghino sul significato dell'esistenza, con strumenti moderni (elettronica, synth) e antichi (voce, ciotole tibetane, acqua, mani).
