Perch Hen Brock & Rain: Perch Hen Brock & Rain/Live @ The Jazz Happening Tampere
by Mark Corroto
When most couples get together, they play some tennis doubles, maybe card games, or go to dinner. When Ab Baars and Ig Henneman invite Ingrid Laubrock and Tom Rainey over, it's to do some cooking. By that I mean to serve up some improvised musical delights. As with most busy couples, finding time for ...
Nico Chientaroli: Cada Fuego Es El Primero
by Mark Corroto
Argentinian pianist (by way of Amsterdam) Nicolás Chientaroli delivers a solo performance that demonstrates the piano's architectural sound beyond the usual demarcation points of its 88 keys. Cada Fuego Es El Primero opens with plucked strings, then a massage of the prepared insides of the instrument. “Fuego Hipnótico" reminds listeners the corpus of the piano is ...
DJM trio: Cave Art
by Rokas Kucinskas
Dominic J Marshall is a pianist, composer, and aspiring electronic music artist. The Leeds College of Music and Conservatorium van Amsterdam graduate is best known for his piano trios in Netherlands and United Kingdom, where he mostly performs. His past releases, with the exception of his electronic music, are rooted in contemporary jazz piano tradition: technical, ...
Sri Hanuraga: To The Universe
by Dave Wayne
Pianist Sri Hanuraga is another amazing young talent from Indonesia. To The Universe is his debut album as a leader, though he's previously recorded with the young Polish vibraphonist Dominik Bukowski and Indonesian bassist Kevin Yosua. Recorded in Amsterdam with a European band, Hanuraga nevertheless draws quite heavily on the music of his native land for ...
Twenty One 4tet: Live At Zaal 100
by John Sharpe
The moniker Twenty One 4tet represents a summit of cosmopolitan international improvisers gathering in Amsterdam . On the face of it there's not a lot of connection between peripatetic American saxophonist John Dikeman's Ayler-inspired tirades and Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente's thoughtful chamber explorations, but the outcome suggests much more of a meeting of minds than might ...
ICP Orchestra: Restless in Pieces
by Vic Albani
Con gli intelligenti insegnamenti di creatività e humor che l'ormai da qualche tempo fuori gioco Misha Mengelberg ha sempre inserito nella “sua" straordinariamente attiva e divertente ICP Orchestra, nonostante l'assenza del leader spirituale di quello che davvero tutti hanno sempre riconosciuto il migliore esempio di “new swing" europeo, Restless in Pieces brilla dei concetti di sempre. ...
Twenty One 4Tet: Live At Zaal 100
by Mark Corroto
I'm assuming that the Twenty One 4Tet recording Live At Zaal was conceived as a one-off deal, with Portuguese trumpeter Luís Vicente visiting Amsterdam-based players John Dikeman, Wilbert De Joode and Onno Govaert. This concert, from September 2015, finds Vicente combining his impressive craftsmanship with three like-minded players. Then again, it might be just ...
Avi Darash: Impermanence
by Mark Sullivan
Composer/pianist Avi Darash brings both his Israeli heritage and life in Amsterdam into a musical blend which features new compositions and improvisation in equal measure. He was a finalist in the All Around Rome-Jazz Awards for ensembles in 2010, a finalist in the MIMC 2014 for classical Improvisation, and won second place at the Leiden Jazz ...
Kögging: Sketches of Ordinary Life
by Alberto Bazzurro
Una vocalità schiettamente pop in un contesto altrettanto schiettamente pop, se non quando a guadagnare il centro della scena sono le ance di Michael Moore, è quanto ci offre questo secondo album del cantante olandese Norbert Kögging, che proprio nella presenza (in cinque brani su nove) del sassofonista e clarinettista già nel Clusone Trio e in ...
Avi Darash: Impermanence
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Avi Darash, home-based now in the Netherlands, broods beautifully on “The Day After," the third tune on his CD Impermanence. His trio mates--bassist Avri Borochov and drummer Ofri Nehemya--offer an intricate yet subtle accompaniment, on a sound that brings the Brad Mehldau Trio to mind, with its floating momentum, cerebral atmosphere and subtle melodic development. ...
