At the behest of his wife Aki Takase, fellow pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach presents 21 short unaccompanied tracks on Slow Pieces For Aki.

by Mark Corroto
Goodbye to 2020 and for the most part good riddance. Unless of course, we are talking about great music. Hopefully, your self isolation bubble had good sounds. Keeping in mind the global pandemic will not end soon, here's a list of my top 18 releases for 2020. I hope they can ease the pain of social ...
Alexander von Schlippenbach: Slow Pieces For Aki: Piano Solo
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach began recording in the 1950s. Twenty years into the new millennium, he continues to do so prolifically, with twenty-five albums under his own name listed on Wikipedia--a seeming short shrift; his three solo albums on the Intakt Records label from 2005 and 2012 somehow didn't make the list, suggesting there are more. ...
Conny Bauer / Matthias Bauer / Dag Magnus Narvesen: The Gift
by John Sharpe
Two elder statesmen of the German free scene, trombonist Conrad Bauer and his younger brother bassist Matthias Bauer, combine with Berlin-based Norwegian drummer Dag Magnus Narvesen to collectively sculpt The Gift. Bauer senior emerged from the then East Germany in the company of Ernst Ludwig Petrowsky and Gunter Baby Sommer in the mid'70s, and has become ...
Peter Brötzmann / Paul G. Smyth: Tongue In A Bell
by Mark Corroto
There are only a handful of pianists the great reedist Peter Brötzmann has worked with. Back in the Machine Gun (FMP, 1968) days it was Fred Van Hove at the keyboards. Then there was Misha Mengelberg and Alexander von Schlippenbach, plus those Berlin sessions with Cecil Taylor, and the new millennium recordings with Japanese pianist Masahiko ...
Peter Hansen - Peeter Uuskyla: JULY 1, 1979
by Mark Corroto
The year was 1979. Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols died, so did jazz legend Charles Mingus. While punk rock was in a duel with disco, jazz as commercial music was dying the death of a thousand cuts. Miles Davis was in hiding, as jazz fusion (the disco equivalent in jazz) was forcing the retirement of ...
Enzo Favata, Sabir Mateen & Songs Of Tales
by Maurice Hogue
Forty years after the death of John Coltrane in 1967, Sardinian saxophonist Enzo Favata was presented with an opportunity to assemble a group for a festival and perform their concept of what Coltrane's music might have sounded like in 2007. That's one of the featured albums in this edition of One Man's Jazz. You'll also hear ...
Alexander Von Schlippenbach, Dag Magnus Narvesen and More
by Maurice Hogue
There are several new albums sampled in this episode, beginning with a pair of bands from Toronto--bassist Pete Johnston's See Through 4 which features pianist Marilyn Lerner, and drummer Ernesto Cervini's quartet. Avant-garde collaborators Alexander Von Schlippenbach and Dag Magnus Narvesen reunited for another duo session of very out-there explorations on Liminal Field. Revisiting his past ...
Pandelis Karayorgis Double Trio: CliffPools
by Mark Corroto
Visit any dog park and you'll notice canines need no instruction on how to play together. Chasing the ball, chasing each other, or investigating a pond is quite instinctive for our furry friends. Apologies for equating the master musicians heard on CliffPools with a pack of dogs, but a ferocious struggle for dominance this is not. ...
