Cirrus: Chorale
by Ian Patterson
It has taken eight years for Cirrus to produce a follow-up to Méli Mélo (NORCD, 2013), the Norwegian quartet's highly impressive debut. The long hiatus merely reflects the multiple projects that have steered vocalist/pianist Eva Bjerga Haugen, tenor saxophonist Inge Weatherhead Breistein, double bassist Theodor Barsnes Onarheim and drummer Stein Inge Braekhus in all manner of ...
Pepper Adams: Live at Room at the Top
by Mike Jurkovic
Recorded live in Alberta, Canada, in late September, 1972, Live at Room at the Top hits a top spot. Brought to light by intrepid saxophonist Cory Weeds and his archival Reel to Reel label (part of his Cellar Music Group) Pepper powers his way to the front of the bandstand poised, muscular and insistent with a ...
John Dikeman, Pat Thomas, John Edwards, Steve Noble: Volume 1
by John Sharpe
For those worried about soaring energy bills, the inflammatory foursome of tenor saxophonist John Dikeman, pianist Pat Thomas, bassist John Edwards and drummer Steve Noble certainly offers one solution. They must have truly warmed the room at London's Cafe Oto on a cold February evening in 2019, on the evidence of the forty-minute program presented on ...
Hans Koch, Paul Lovens: Nephlokokkygia 1992
by Alberto Bazzurro
Registrato nel corso del tour in terra bulgara datato 1992 (quattro sezioni, ciascuna da una località diversa, la più lunga di poco meno di un quarto d'ora), questo prezioso album coglie all'opera due liberi improvvisatori mitteleuropei di comprovata fede e militanza come lo svizzero Hans Koch e il tedesco Paul Lovens, separati da un solo anno ...
Satoko Fujii, Tatsuya Yoshida: Baikamo
by Neri Pollastri
La collaborazione tra Satoko Fujii e il batterista Tatsuya Yoshida è antica e i due non hanno mai interrotto i concerti assieme sotto l'insegna di Toh-Kichi, sebbene dal loro precedente album--Erans, datato 2004--le occasioni si fossero fatte meno frequenti. Questo nuovo lavoro, frutto di più registrazioni in parte dal vivo e in parte in studio, dimostra ...
Albert Ayler: Revelations
by Chris May
There are lovingly curated box sets and there is Albert Ayler's Revelations: The Complete ORTF 1970 Fondation Maeght Recordings. The 5 x LP / 4 x CD set documents in full the two concerts Ayler gave at the high-end performance and visual arts facility in Provence, France in July 1970, just four months before he passed, ...
Joy Ellis: Peaceful Place
by Peter Jones
The best piano trios are often those that have played together for many years, a notable example being the Marcin Wasilewski Trio, whose members have collaborated for more than two decades. These musical relationships become telepathic, creating the impression for the listener not of three musicians but of a single entity. Joy Ellis and her trio ...
Lenny Marcus Trio: When a Door Opens
by Jack Bowers
Whenever Lenny Marcus sits down to play the piano, elegance and finesse are sure to follow. Such is the case on When a Door Opens, wherein Marcus leads his trio—Zachary McDonald on bass and Denver Nuckolls on drums—through a series of persuasive tributes to his musical heroes, one of whom--Dexter Gordon--is not a pianist, and another--Ludwig ...
The Lenox Brothers: Township Nocturne
by Neri Pollastri
Realizzato da tre suoi storici compagni di viaggio—non a caso denominatisi The Lenox Brothers—un anno e un giorno dopo la sua prematura scomparsa e nello studio Wave Ahead, che era un po' la sua seconda casa, Township Nocturne è un commosso lavoro alla memoria di Gianni Lenoci. Gianni Mimmo, che con il pianista formava ...
Tor Yttredal, Roberto Bonati: Some Red Some Yellow
by Neri Pollastri
Dopo anni di collaborazioni e trasferte nelle rispettive città, Parma e Stavanger, Roberto Bonati e Tor Yttredal si incontrano faccia a faccia e danno vita a un album in duo, intimo, lirico e sofisticato, nel quale si fondono mirabilmente le tradizioni musicali dei due paesi d'origine. Il lavoro si compone di sedici brani, tutti ...
