Alexander von Schlippenbach: Compression & Monk's Casino

by A. Henkin
June 2, 2005

The career of most artists follows one of two paths: linear (Pablo Picasso or Gato Barbieri) or circular (Chick Corea). Few can or wish to maintain multiple personalities creatively. In music, there are more instances of this kind of multi-tasking and German pianist Alex von Schlippenbach has proven himself especially adept. In the ...

Alexander von Schlippenbach Monk's Casino Intakt Records 2005 Monk covers are as regular as the tides these days. Everyone from Wynton Marsalis on one end, to Steve Lacy at the other, has seemingly picked the songbook clean. Most have mined it for the more accessible ore and left the more ...

The Living Music lives and breathes at such a high level of intensity (and coherence) that it must have brought these seven European free improvisers to sheer exhaustion that long, productive afternoon almost exactly 24 years ago in Köln. But there's a ...
