Agusti Fernandez / Zlatko Kaučič: Sonic Party

Read "Sonic Party" reviewed by John Sharpe


Sonic Party documents a live meeting between Catalan pianist Agusti Fernandez and Slovenian percussionist Zlatko Kaucic. Unlike similar encounters with his countryman Ramon Lopez, all the selections here are generated on the fly. Such pairings accentuate the percussive nature of the piano, and all the more so because Fernandez is one of the greatest proponents of ...

Agustí Fernández / Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard / Bjørn Heebøll: Amaranth

Read "Amaranth" reviewed by Mark Corroto


To call Spanish pianist Agustí Fernández an inside/outside player isn't to suggest that he dabbles in both straight-ahead and free jazz. As a free, improvising pianist, he is one of the most sensitive players in today's scene. No, calling Fernández an inside/outside player literally means he can often be found playing his instrument both from the ...

I 10 Cd nel CD-Player di... Mary Halvorson

Read "I 10 Cd nel CD-Player di... Mary Halvorson" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


01. Bill Orcutt--A History of Every One (Editions Mego--2013). Lo stile chitarristico di Bill Orcutt è folle, bluesy e assolutamente unico. Questo nuovo disco è sorprendente. 02. Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog--Your Turn (Northern Spy--2013). Ho atteso questo disco a lungo. Costruito perfettamente cattura l'energia e la temerarietà della band.

Agustí Fernández/Barry Guy/Ramón López: A Moment's Liberty

Read "A Moment's Liberty" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Sure, The Modern Jazz Quartet always performed in formal wear, and Duke Ellington evoked gracefulness in response to his advertised “jungle music," but jazz has always bumped up against the high brow ceiling of more orthodox ...

One of the most noteworthy releases of 2013 was the Barry Guy New Orchestra's Mad Dogs (Not Two), a five disc compendium which collected largely freeform meetings between various subsets of the 11-piece company during their 2010 residency in Krakow. However even that copious set offered only a partial view of the Orchestra's range, a deficiency ...

Agusti Fernandez - Barry Guy - Ramon Lopez: A Moment's Liberty

Read "A Moment's Liberty" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The powerhouse international trio's third effort radiates an uncanny, or perhaps uncommon framework combining beauty--due to Agusti Fernandez's lyrically rich and gorgeous statements--coupled with power and free-form elaborations. For instance, on the 18-minute opener “A Moment's Liberty," Fernandez opens with solitary phrasings via lush balladry while transmitting a sense of loneliness until the band embarks on ...
