Ambrose Akinmusire, Dairo Miyamoto and Other Great New Releases
This week we'll go through a heap of outstanding new releases, ranging from tributes to seminal albums like Soul Station by Eli Degibri and the Far East Suite by Pierre Bertrand, to new releases by master pianists like Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau (in an unreleased duo with Charlie Haden!), Aaron Parks and Simone Graziano. Seasond avant-veterans ...
read moreAndrew Cyrille: Lebroba
Il nuovo lavoro del batterista Andrew Cyrille per ECM, che segue di due anni The Declaration of Musical Independence, il suo debutto da leader per la label tedesca, lo vede nuovamente affiancato al chitarrista Bill Frisell, ma in un contesto strumentale abbastanza diverso. Non più un quartetto con contrabbasso e tastiere, ma un trio completato dalla ...

23rd Annual Vision Festival
Roulette
New York, NY
May 23-28, 2018
Introduction The Vision Festival somewhat surprisingly but reassuringly stands proud as the longest-lived annually produced jazz festival in New York. While the central plank remains what the Festival terms avant jazz, it's interspersed with poetry, dance, art, and ...
Marty Ehrlich: Trio Exaltation
After his previous release, 2013's magnificent big-band disc A Trumpet in the Morning (New World Records), it was unclear whether multi-instrumentalist Marty Ehrlich would continue down the path of large-scale composition or return to the small-to-medium-sized ensembles he's used for most of his recorded output over the years. Well, he's gone small all right: all the ...

Cecil Taylor: Courage in Creation
Ever since innovative artists were faced with reflecting and reacting in their art to seismic events (WWI) revolutionary science (Einsteinian relativity, Darwinian evolution, and political convolution (fascism, bolshevism) over a century ago, many faced years of scorn and condemnation. When they chose abstraction in art (Mondrian, Kandinsky) dissonance in music (Schoenberg, Bartok) or stream of consciousness ...
read moreDave Rempis / Matt Piet / Tim Daisy: Throw Tomatoes
There is something about the trio recording Throw Tomatoes that brings to mind the distinction between yin and yang. Not that there is a clear difference between the two, as in yang yoga and yin yoga, where the same movement can be either (to a degree) and both. In music, a classically trained musician would be ...
read moreEric Revis: Sing Me Some Cry
La vicenda artistica di Eric Revis è esemplare per la propria coerenza: ci ricorda ancora una volta il ruolo avuto da molti contrabbassisti nel jazz contemporaneo, che sulle direttrici di metodo e prassi tracciate da Charles Mingus sanno coniugare una forte e sensibile preparazione sullo strumento alla capacità di organizzare stimolanti formazioni e di comporre in ...
read moreTrio 3 (Andrew Cyrille, Reggie Workman, Oliver Lake): Visiting Texture
Ecco l'ennesimo capitolo della pregnante avventura del Trio 3, iniziata una trentina di anni fa con l'incontro di questi titani della musica e dell'improvvisazione contemporanea. Personalità forti, che nell'incontro hanno saldato una sintonia matura fin dal primo momento, ma nel corso del tempo sempre più organica e dialettica, tra libertà e rigore.
Vengono alla ...

Story of the Day
I love jazz because of the freedom that comes with listening to it. When words seem to fail, jazz will always be the thing that is able to communicate the indescribable.
