Bobo Stenson: Contra la indecision
by Karl Ackermann
With a few exceptions, Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson has spent his long recording career with the prestigious ECM label, dating back to his oddly named Underwear in 1971. That particular album turned out to be more a showcase for bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Jon Christensen than for Stenson, and the pianist did not lead again ...
Marco Bardoscia
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould, Goldberg Variations (Sony Classical, 1981). La musica di Bach è per me di grande ispirazione e in particolare questa opera monumentale interpretata da Gould. A volte mi capita di ascoltarne degli estratti prima dei concerti. 2. Miles Davis, Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (Prestige,1958).
ECM e le voci: Theo Bleckmann e Sinikka Langeland
by Mario Calvitti
Con gli anni, le voci hanno acquistato un carattere sempre più rilevante nel catalogo ECM rispetto ai tempi della sua fondazione, quando l'etichetta bavarese era rivolta alla pubblicazione di musica di carattere prevalentemente jazzistico e quasi esclusivamente strumentale. I primi nomi di cantanti a trovar spazio nel catalogo dell'etichetta sono stati quelli di Norma Winstone, Aina ...
Piotr Turkiewicz: Putting Wroclaw On The Jazz Map
by Ian Patterson
At just thirty seven years of age it's hard to believe that Piotr Turkiewicz has been pulling the strings of Jazztopad for almost a decade already. The festival, staged each November in the Polish city of Wroclaw, was already a few years old when Turkiewicz became Artistic Director in 2008, but under the canny stewardship of ...
Ferenc Snetberger: TITOK
by Mark Sullivan
Hungarian nylon-string guitarist Ferenc Snétberger made his ECM debut playing live solo guitar on In Concert (2016). Here he shares the musical space with Swedish bassist Anders Jormin and U.S. drummer Joey Baron--a combination suggested by producer Manfred Eicher, and cemented by three concerts in Hungary before the recording session. Jormin and Baron have ...
Atomic: Six Easy Pieces
by Karl Ackermann
Founded in 2000, the Swedish/Norwegian group Atomic has remained true to their uncommon blend of American and European influences over the years. With only one lineup change since their inception, the quintet continues to pay homage--in equal parts--to the post 1960s era in the US, and the inherent innovations of Europe's northern-most region. With Six Easy ...
Bruno Raberg: Triloka: Music for Strings and Soloists
by Ian Patterson
Sweden boasts a long tradition of producing notable double bassists--Georg Riedel, Palle Danielsson, Anders Jormin, Lars Danielsson, Dan Berglund and Petter Eldh all spring to mind. Bruno Råberg is another whose virtuosity and lyricism have propelled him to international renown, as a collaborator with some of jazz's most eminent names, and, since 1986, as a Professor ...
Mick Rossi
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Lhasa de Sela -La Llorona (Audiogram / Atlantic -1997). Un canto espressivo ed elegante. Orchestrazioni eccentriche e bellissime. Triste averla persa così presto. 02. Jimmy Giuffre -Thesis (Verve -1962). Ispirato e trascendente. Paul Bley e Steve Swallow complici profondi. 03. Philip Glass -Music in Twelve Parts (Orange ...
Sinikka Langeland: The Magical Forest
by Mark Sullivan
Norwegian singer and kantele player Sinikka Langeland leads her Norwegian-Finnish-Swedish Starflowers quintet through a series of songs built upon myths and legends from Finnskogen, the forested area in eastern Norway bordering Sweden where Langeland has been based since 1992. The name means “forest of the Finns," reflecting the history of Finnish migration to the place during ...
Sinikka Langeland: The Magical Forest
by John Kelman
Some pairings seem, in retrospect, to be made in heaven; so inevitable that it's only when they actually take place that it becomes clear how predestined they were all along. Sinikka Langeland--a forward-thinking traditional singer and kantele (Finnish zither/dulcimer variant) champion garnering significant attention in her home country of Norway over the past two decades--has, since ...
