Angles 9: Disappeared Behind the Sun

Read "Disappeared Behind the Sun" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

On the sixth release from reedman Martin Küchen's mid-sized Angles ensemble, all the winning traits so evident on previous outings are still present and correct: heart wrenching melodies, huge foot-tapping riffs, sweeping chorales and adventurous raw soloing, not least by the leader himself. Many of the same top notch players remain on board, notably trombonist Mats ...

Atomic: Six Easy Pieces

Read "Six Easy Pieces" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

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.

Atomic: Lucidity

Read "Lucidity" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

"Laterna Interfruit," il brano iniziale, è un'indovinata miscela di accattivanti groove ritmici e atmosfere nordiche, di assoli calibrati e di timbriche inusuali, di esplosioni free e di canonici riff di matrice boppistica. Sono queste le coordinate entro le quali si muove l'intero Lucidity, settima prova discografica dell'ensemble norvegese denominato Atomic. Le oscillazioni ora ...
