Il meglio del 2017 secondo Vincenzo Roggero
by Vincenzo Roggero
Tempo di consuntivi e di classifiche. Piuttosto complicato, decisamente parziale ma comunque divertente estrarre dal cilindro del 2017 dodici titoli rappresentativi. Così tra conferme che profumano di classicità -Craig Taborn, Steve Coleman, Nicole Mitchell, Rob Mazurek -, debutti clamorosi -Jaimie Branch -, ritorni tanto attesi -Arto Lindsay -, connubi sorprendenti -Iggy Pop con il trio di ...

Erik Hove Chamber Ensemble: Polygon

Anna Webber's Simple Trio with Matt Mitchell & John Hollenbeck: Binary
by Vincenzo Roggero
Lo scheletro di Binary è costituito dalle sei versioni di “Rectangles," sei frammenti di durata compresa tra il minuto e i tre minuti abbondanti, dove angoli, linee, spigoli e intersezioni sollecitano la curiosità dell'ascoltatore e lasciano intravedere intriganti sviluppi. La muscolatura e gli organi vitali vengono aggiunti dai rimanenti sei brani, la cui durata -sempre superiore ...
Anna Webber's Simple Trio with Matt Mitchell & John Hollenbeck: Binary
by John Sharpe
If there were a prize for avoiding the obvious, then Brooklyn-based Canadian saxophonist and flautist Anna Webber would be a prime contender.
