Matthew Shipp, Marc Ribot, Dorado Schmitt & Randy Weston

by Martin Longley
The Matthew Shipp Trio Dizzy's Club November 3, 2014 It's not often that a hero of New York's alternative downtown improvising scene ventures uptown to play a mainline jazz club. It's even more of a rarity for a Dizzy's set to consist of a single long piece. In fact, ...
Marc Ribot Trio: Live At The Village Vanguard

by John Ephland
Yours truly is truly ashamed to be reporting on this recording at such a late date. That said, Marc Ribot: Live At The Village Vanguard is the kind of recording that, if you weren't, makes you wish you were there. Yes, it's a Live at the V-squared, which may remind you of other now-celebrated recordings at ...
Paul Rogers/Robin Fincker/Fabien Duscombs: Whahay

by Mark Corroto
Is playing with a European free jazz sensibility antithetical to the music of Charles Mingus? Absolutely. Does renowned bassist Paul Rogers try his hand at it with his new trio Whahay? Yes. Do they triumph? Without question, yes. Rogers, a veteran of the London scene and bands of Keith Tippett, Paul Dunmall, and Elton ...
Marc Ribot a Brescia

by Luca Canini
Marc Ribot Trio Jazz in Eden Nuovo Eden 13.11.2014 Di Albert Ayler ce n'è sempre stato parecchio nella musica di Marc Ribot. Forse non tutti se n'erano accorti, ma già prima del disco manifesto Spiritual Unity, uscito nel 2005, la fatale attrazione per il sassofonista di Cleveland aveva fatto capolino ...
UDU CALLS/Tiziano Tononi & Daniele Cavallanti with William Parker: The Vancouver Tapes

by Mark Corroto
The Vancouver Tapes might have been called The Lost Recordings had drummer Tiziano Tononi not found this recording at the bottom of a chest he stored it in after his appearance with saxophonist Daniele Cavallanti and bassist William Parker. It was their first ever meeting at the 1999 Vancouver Jazz Festival. The instant the ...

Anders Ahlen Unit: Lines and Dots

by Dave Wayne
I hope it's not too silly to say that Lines and Dots, the new album by guitarist and composer Anders Ahlén, is really cool. But it is; both in the colloquial sense and in the jazz sense. The music goes down with nary a wasted note, the cover art is hip and minimal, and it comes-self-produced ...
Frank Lowe: Out Loud

by Mark Corroto
Musical archeology has become somewhat of a trend these days. It might be explained, in part by the rebirth of vinyl and the excavation of long out-of-print titles, but also there are scores of devoted collectors who've discovered unpublished recordings of significant artists. For the serially neglected avant-garde of jazz, some of these finds have been ...
Free Jazz Versus Free Improvisation

by Dom Minasi
Free jazz versus free improvisation. Are they the same? I submit they are not. Let's take a look at what makes up music. I was taught from the very beginning that music is composed of three parts: 1. Melody; 2. Harmony; 3. Rhythm. Now add improvisation to the mix, and ...
Microscopic Septet: Manhattan Moonrise

by Vic Albani
Solo pochi anni orsono, quando mi trovai a scrivere di History of the Micros, i due straordinari capitoli summa summarum di questa band originariamente attiva dal 1980 al 1992 e tornata alle incisioni dopo più di un decennio di pausa creativa e produttiva agli inizi del nuovo millennio, mi trovai a raccontare delle classiche situazioni underground ...
