by Alberto Bazzurro
Inciso tre mesi prima (novembre 2018) del Vol. 4, di cui ci siamo occupati di recente, questo nuovo capitolo della saga free impro capitanata (anche nel ruolo di produttore) da Stephen Gauci, sax tenore, in quartetto con partners tutti diversi, evidenzia una maggiore capacità di gestire gli spazi improvvisativi (quindi l'aleatorietà, che qui segue itinerari più felicemente calibrati e articolati sul piano delle dinamiche), generando conseguentemente una musica più introitabile da parte di chi ascolta, che ne può cogliere e ...
read moreIn Real Time: Blue Shift
by Mike Jurkovic
Blueshift is a term employed by astronomers to describe an object that is moving toward another object or toward us. It is determined by measuring tiny shifts in the wavelengths of light coming from said object(s). This movement is not detectable by the naked eye but Blue Shift, the first adventure by the In Real Time trio of pianist Carol Liebowitz, bassist Adam Lane, and drummer Andrew Drury sure as hell make it heard. Collectively the New York ...

by John Sharpe
Brooklyn-based Californian drummer Vijay Anderson leads an impressively cohesive trio on Studio Sessions Vol .10. In this case cohesion is a product of shared experience. Anderson's career has been intertwined with bassist Adam Lane's since 2003, and can be heard on Zero Degree Music (CIMP, 2005), New Magical Kingdom (Clean Feed, 2006),and Absolute Horizon (NoBusiness, 2013). Likewise, clarinetist Ben Goldberg has been a long-time colleague of the drummer, as evidenced by his appearances on Hard-Boiled Wonderland (Not Two, 2010) and ...

by John Sharpe
There is a surprise in store on Brooklyn tenor saxophonist Stephen Gauci's Studio Sessions Volume 3. Not only is celebrated erstwhile guitarist and bassist Joe Morris an unexpected face alongside the reedman, but this time out he features on an unfamiliar instrument, seated behind the drum kit for the two lengthy excursions into uncharted territory. However, it is not all new; bassist Adam Lane, one of Gauci's most regular collaborators who regularly anchors the hornman's quartet, completes the line up. ...

by John Sharpe
Not enough is heard from Brooklyn-born bassist Adam Lane. He boasts an impressive track record, illuminated by a series of outstanding recordings, mainly on the CIMP label, but culminating in the acclaimed Ashcan Rantings (Clean Feed, 2010). Nothing has surfaced under his own name since, so any new disc grabs attention. That's not to say he has been idle, notching up notable appearances on drummer William Hooker's excellent Bliss Suite (Not Two, 2010) which also featured rising star saxophonist Darius ...
read moreAdam Lane Trio: Absolute Horizon
by Glenn Astarita
Adam Lane is among the best and brightest of the new wave of forward- looking jazz and improvising bassists, who along with his formidable cohorts exploit the trio format. Here, every inflection, tonality and nuance becomes prominently embedded into the group's stylization which is based on instant composition. No doubt, the musicians' astonishing synergy is a powerful underlying component. Sprinkled with off-kilter thematic overtures, blooming tone poems, and unwieldy or tumultuous breakouts, the trio largely straddles the avant-garde spectrum. Lane ...
read moreLuis Lopes - Adam Lane - Igal Foni: What is When
by AAJ Italy Staff
La Clean Feed si conferma label di riferimento per la musica d'avanguardia. Di solito pubblica lavori di musicisti americani. Ma ci sono diverse, e meritevoli, eccezioni, come il sassofonista Rodrigo Amado e - in questo caso - il chitarrista Luis Lopes, che troviamo alla guida di un trio internazionale insieme al contrabbassista statunitense Adam Lane e al batterista israeliano Igal Foni. I tre mischiano con intelligenza punk, free, freefunk, rock, con l'energia della chitarra prepotentemente in primo piano in un ...
