Federica Michisanti Quartet: Afternoons

Read "Afternoons" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Continua a evolversi la musica di Federica Michisanti: dopo i bei lavori del suo Horn Trio e l'esperienza al fianco di due mostri sacri come Franco D'Andrea e Dave Douglas, l'artista romana presenta adesso un nuovo album, nel quale documenta il lavoro della sua nuova formazione, un quartetto formato con Louis Sclavis, Michele Rabbia e Vincent Courtois. Il gruppo, senza strumento armonico come l'Horn Trio, vede stavolta la presenza di un batterista, ancorché particolarmente creativo e impegnato ...

Federico Marchesano: Atalante

Read "Atalante" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Nato come progetto originale commissionato dal Torino Jazz Festival 2018, questo lavoro del contrabbassista e compositore torinese Federico Marchesano, formazione classica ed esperienze eclettiche, vede adesso la luce anche nella sua documentazione registrata, uscendo in CD per la Faelmay. Il progetto si ispira al capolavoro cinematografico di Jean Vigo, del quale in certa misura descrive le atmosfere, ma ha una vita ovviamente del tutto indipendente. Marchesano è alla testa di un quartetto che vanta la presenza di Louis ...

Louis Sclavis / Dominique Pifarély / Vincent Courtois: Asian Fields Variations

Read "Asian Fields Variations" reviewed by John Kelman


Few artists on the ECM roster reinvent themselves as regularly--and with such consistent success--as Louis Sclavis. While it is true that the French clarinetist (and occasional soprano/baritone saxophonist) often draws (and re-draws) from a gradually expanding pool of musicians, there are few label mates who have released as many albums as Sclavis, where the lineups literally change with each and every album. In fact, the closest he's come to repeating the same lineup back-to-back has been with his most recent, ...

Clusone Jazz Festival Clusone Corte Sant'Anna 28-31.07.2016 “Sono molto contento di tornare a Clusone Jazz, un festival che ha una storia musicale importante" (Louis Sclavis). “Siete fortunati ad avere un festival così" (Roberto Negro). Potremmo continuare a lungo, citando tutti i musicisti che quest'anno si sono esibiti sul palco di Clusone Jazz e che, al netto delle parole usate, hanno espresso più o meno gli stessi concetti, ma ...

Louis Sclavis Quartet: Silk and Salt Melodies

Read "Silk and Salt Melodies" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Iranian zarb (diagonally positioned drum)performer Kevyan Chemirani adds a worldly and exotic aspect to prominent French clarinetist, composer Louis Scalvis' band, featuring guitarist Gilles Coronado and keyboardist Benjamin Moussay who have performed with the leader on his Atlas Trio album, Sources (ECM Records, 2011). Sclavis' highly praised and disparate body of work for ECM Records is essentially unclassifiable, via his uniquely articulated jazz components, also framed on classical, free-improvisation, jazz fusion and world music persuasions. As a soloist, his resonant ...
