Vision Festival 2018
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 ...

read moreThe Art of Perelman-Shipp: Voll. 1-7
Nella copiosa opera di documentazione dell'etichetta Leo Records dedicata al lavoro del sassofonista di origine brasiliana Ivo Perelman, incontriamo questo nuovo capitolo di sette CD, incentrato sul frequente lavoro con il pianista Matthew Shipp. The Art of Perelman-Shipp si aggiunge a una serie di pubblicazioni che vedono coinvolti i due musicisti, iniziate nel 1996, quando uscì ...
read moreIvo Perelman Makes It Rain
If music was sports, then Ivo Perelman would be baseball and most other musicians football. Where football's regular season is 16 games, baseball plays 162. Likewise, most musicians release one album every year or two, but Perelman has averaged seven titles per year for the last seven years. His 2017 Leo Records output is thirteen (fourteen, ...

Story of the Day
The best show I ever attended was the Zawinul Syndicate at the Blue Note in 1997. Being the youngest kids in the room, the host put us right in front of the band. The afro-beat electric set blew the roof off the building, an unforgettable sound
