by Mark Corroto
Let's not call the music by the trio Terton dangerous. Because, although no one could be injured while creating it or listening to Outer, Inner, Secret, the path is precarious and unpredictable. Well, that is, if one is not a true believer. Let me explain. Terton in Buddhism refers to a person, in this case, persons, who discover and reveal ancient teachings at a spiritually efficacious time. For our purposes, the ideas or principles are passed on through sound via ...

by Mark Corroto
The thing about free jazz is that it is very much like abstract expressionist painting. Many an inexperienced museum goer will spot a Jackson Pollock and say to herself, “I coulda done that."

Gli accosta un giovane batterista e compositore che si distingue tra le nuove personalità per caratura e ingegno, autore già in prima persona di lavori notevoli, tra cui That / Not e Alloy. Ma pure coprotagonista con Roscoe Mitchell dello strepitoso Duets. Il leader di questo progetto, e del CD omonimo, porta il nome meno esposto, anche se Louie Belogenis, sassofonista tenore, è ben ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Non fosse uscito su ESP, lo si sarebbe potuto definire, semplicemente, un disco da ESP. Rejuvenation, opera seconda del Flow Trio, quattro anni dopo un debutto [solo digitale] su Ayler Records, non poteva che trovare posto nel catalogo della rediviva etichetta del signor Bernard Stollman. Sarà quel sound così ruspante e informale che fa tanto loft, sarà quel tenore così sfacciatamente ayleriano, sarà quella sezione ritmica sanguigna e pulsante, ma è impossibile non correre con la fantasia ai primi anni ...

The Vision Festival has cemented its reputation as the premiere event of the creative improvising scene. It celebrates artists dedicated to expanding the art, those (not coincidentally) often overlooked by the haughtier jazz festivals.

The meeting of saxophonist Louie Belogenis, trumpeter Roy Campbell, Jr., bassist Hill Greene and drummer Michael Wimberly under the moniker Exuberance at the 2003 edition, captured on Live at ...
