Read "Good Morning World!" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

Protagonista dell'album, ancor più che in passato, è il sassofonista Emiliano ...

Leslie Pintchik: Prayer For What Remains

Read "Prayer For What Remains" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Read "In Norway: The Kongsberg Concert" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

The release of In Norway: The Konsberg Concert coincides with the sixtieth anniversary of the Konsberg Jazz Festival. Double cause for celebration. The steady flow of archival Evans recordings shows no signs of abating, with In Norway: The Konsberg Concert, recorded in 1970, coming hot on the heels of the previously unreleased Bill Evans: Behind The ...

Joel Futterman: Innervoice

Read "Innervoice" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

On each of the three tracks that comprise Innervoice, pianist Joel Futterman begins with just two notes. Each note resounds in the listener's ear long after the auditory perception has faded. These two notes act as Futterman's conjuring device for what is to come. The pianist, now in his eighth decade, is playing as strong as ...

Albert Ayler: Live Greenwich Village to Love Cry Revisited

Read "Live Greenwich Village to Love Cry Revisited" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Nel 1996, quando fu pubblicata la prima edizione della sua biografia dedicata ad Albert Ayler, Spirits Rejoice!, il contrabbassista e musicologo tedesco Peter Niklas Wilson scriveva nella prefazione: “La sua musica resta controversa: per alcuni fu un profeta, per altri un ciarlatano.

Anthony Braxton Saxophone Quartet: Sax QT (Lorraine) 2022

Read "Sax QT (Lorraine) 2022" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

A mezzo secolo esatto dal suo primo esperimento in materia, la “Composition 23A" (rombo-30-EGN-KBM-78, secondo la connotazione grafica tipica delle pagine braxtoniane dell'epoca, che qui non possiamo per ovvi motivi riprodurre nella sua completezza) datata fra il 27 settembre e il 16 ottobre 1974 e riunita poi con altre cinque di diversa natura in New York, ...
