New Voices: Sarah Manning, John Escreet, Kneebody
by J Hunter
Jazz is like the human body. It needs fresh air, constant activity and a steady stream of nutrients to stay hale and hearty. Conversely, if all the genre does is sit in a comfy chair and try to live on what came before, it becomes sedentary, incurious and--ultimately--self destructive. Fortunately, the young keep jazz active and ...
Dave Douglas & Keystone: Spark Of Being: Expand

Just as summer comes to a close, another great release from trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas comes along. Expand is the second part of a trilogy of music, performed by Dave Douglas & Keystone, for the Bill Morrison film Spark of Being (2010). The film and related music bring Mary Shelley's iconic novel, Frankenstein (1818), and the relationship ...

Adam Benjamin: Long Gone
by AAJ Italy Staff
Devo confessare che Long Gone mi ha sorpreso. Positivamente. Perché da Adam Benjamin, membro dei Kneebody, band guida della nuova onda statunitense, in bilico tra groove ipnotici, atmosfere psichedeliche, a proprio agio tra cavi e trasformatori, grandi estimatori del Davis elettrico, mi sarei aspettato di tutto tranne che un disco in piano solo. E per di ...
Danny Given: Appunti di viaggio
by AAJ Italy Staff
La collana di Abaco si arricchisce di una nuova tessera. A seconda della prospettiva da cui lo si osserva, Appunti di viaggio di Danny Given è un libro da ascoltare, o un disco da leggere. Visto da fuori ha la forma di un comune volumetto hard-cover con una copertina talmente naïf da strizzare l'occhio all'immaginario on ...

Kneebody: Live Volume One
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo giovane e brillante quintetto statunitense conferma le aspettative create dai due album precedenti e promette bene per il futuro. In realtà quest’album, pur con un’energia e un inteplay fantastici, non ha l’inventiva e la maturità di Low Electrical Worker, ma le ragioni sono probabilmente da ricercare molto semplicemente nel fatto che la registrazione (si tratta ...
