Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Free Hoops
by Troy Dostert
With her idiosyncratic mixture of mystery and mirth, and a seamless conjoining of jazz and classical musical vocabularies, pianist Sylvie Courvoisier has carved an enviable niche for herself. She not only possesses impeccable technique, but her voice as a composer is just as formidable, whether in partnerships with fellow mavericks like Mary Halvorson, Evan Parker, or ...
Il Meglio del 2018 Secondo Nicola Negri
by Nicola Negri
Per chi non se ne fosse accorto, stiamo vivendo un momento musicale straordinario, fatto di ricerca senza confini, ibridazioni linguistiche e condivisione di esperienze spesso agli antipodi--insomma diametralmente opposto al periodo storico, in cui l'ignoranza miope delle nuove destre vorrebbe tenerci divisi, ancorati ad un'idea identitaria ormai superata dalla storia.

Non che il resto dello spettacolo sia di secondo piano, ma è in quell'inizio folgorante che riusciamo a cogliere al meglio l'originale vis poetica di Sylvie Courvoisier, pianista di origini svizzere da anni trapiantata a New York. C'è un ostinato sui ...
Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Double Windsor
by Henning Bolte
The piano trio is the supreme discipline in jazz. Through rich possibilities, it functions as a strong filter sifting out those few who were and are able to set new standards. What matters is how the three instrumental vertices relate to each other dynamically, harmonically and soundwise to build something coherent, in close dependency. Eventually, each ...
