Archie Shepp: Archie Shepp And The New York Contemporary Five

Read "Archie Shepp And The New York Contemporary Five" reviewed by Chris Mosey

by Chris Mosey

With its arrival in the early 1960s, jazz reached the end of its historical road. The New Thing wasn't The Shape Of Jazz To Come, as an Ornette Coleman album title ...

Assif Tsahar, Gerry Hemingway, Marc Dresser: Code Re(A)d

Read "Code Re(A)d" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Ogni tanto fa piacere imbattersi in lavori che mostrino di raccogliere con la dovuta coerenza filologica (che non vuol dire riciclo mani e piedi) la lezione del free jazz storico. È quanto accade in questo bell'album, che riunisce una volta di più una coppia ritmica (chiamiamola così, per comodità) in sella ormai da una trentina d'anni ...

by Vincenzo Roggero

Saalfelden 28-31.08.2014 A bocce ferme il 35° Jazzfestival di Saalfelden presentava un programma meno appariscente rispetto a precedenti edizioni, con meno densità di nomi altisonanti e meno eventi imperdibili. Ma forse proprio per la mancanza di aspettative clamorose, grazie alla solida direzione artistica tra certezze e curiosità e per quelle alchimie speciali che regolano ...
