Nguyen Le Duos: Homescape

Read "Homescape" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

There's no substitute for a convincing musical concept and language, but if an artist doesn't pay equal attention to tone, then that musical message can become easily diluted. The two are, in fact, inextricably linked--in particular with guitarists, who are often as well-known for the texture of their sound as the notes they play. Guitarist Nguyên ...

Heinz Sauer and Michael Wollny: Certain Beauty

Read "Certain Beauty" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

Tenor saxophonist Heinz Sauer, who turns 74 this month, was a mainstay of the extraordinary European free jazz experiment of the 1960s. He played with late-sixties incarnations of the Globe Unity Orchestra, alongside a truly mind-boggling array of heavyweights (Derek Bailey, Han Bennink, Willem Breuker, Evan Parker, Alexander von Schlippenbach); he would enjoy an even longer-standing ...

Helge Sunde Norske Store Orkester: Denada

Read "Denada" reviewed by William Grim

by William Grim

Denada, an album of big band compositions by the talented Norwegian trombonist/composer Helge Sunde, is amazingly complex and original music that brings to mind the work of Maria Schneider. In fact, had I encountered this album in a blindfold test, I would have said immediately that it was a new album by Schneider. Sunde's ...

Heinz Sauer, sassofonista storico della NDR Big Band, a lungo partner musicale di Albert Mangelsdorff negli anni Sessanta e Settanta, e Michael Wollny, nome emergente del nuovo jazz tedesco, avevano già colpito pubblico e critica con il precedente album intitolato Melancholia, per la loro capacità di disegnare atmosfere avvincenti utilizzando canovacci sonori di rado superiore ai ...

Ulf Wakenius: Notes from the Heart

Read "Notes from the Heart" reviewed by Brian P. Lonergan

by Brian P. Lonergan

In the liner notes to Notes from the Heart, Ulf Wakenius' tribute to the compositions of Keith Jarrett, the Swedish guitarist states, “It's impossible to recreate his music--you can only approach it from a totally different angle. But rather than a radical reworking of Jarrett's music or a reproduction of his far-ranging solo trips, Wakenius has ...

Nguyên Lê: Homescape

Read "Homescape" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il chitarrista franco-vietnamita Nguyên Lê affronta con i due amici Paolo Fresu e Dhafer Youssef una nuova sfida per la quale si da regole piuttosto interessanti che caratterizzano a livello strutturale e produttivo questo Homescape, un titolo decisamente programmatico. L’idea è per l’appunto quella di utilizzare come ‘locus’ creativo lo studio di registrazione domestico del musicista, ...
