An Evil Clown and a Leap of Faith

"I don't have a half-speed for music, if I do it, I'm all in..."--PEK If the Evil Clown record label is prolific on a per capita basis, then its founder is exponentially more inexhaustible. David Peck (aka PEK) founded the label--at first, unbranded--and its roots date back a little more than twenty years ...

Tori Freestone Trio: El Barranco

Read "El Barranco" reviewed by Roger Farbey


El Barranco is the Tori Freestone Trio's follow-up to their 2014 debut album In The Chop House, released once again on the ever-burgeoning Whirlwind Recordings label. The chordless sound of the trio evinces a warmth which inevitably invites comparisons with the chief progenitor of this configuration, Sonny Rollins and his 1957 album Way Out ...

Bob Downes Open Music: Blowin' With Bass

Read "Blowin' With Bass" reviewed by Claudio Bonomi


Bob Downes, compositore e polistrumentista britannico, estrae dal proprio magic box un'altra chicca che farà fellce gli appassionati di jazz, o meglio, di British Jazz.

Moppa Elliott: Still, Up In The Air

Read "Still, Up In The Air" reviewed by Luca Canini


Non è facile volere bene a quel brontolone del contrabbasso quando decide di mettersi in proprio. Il legno, le corde, l'archetto, il suono goffo e introverso, le note slabbrate, imprecise, la fatica immane di cavare sangue dal più rapa degli strumenti: poche altre situazioni in ambito improvvisativo sanno essere più scorbutiche e meno amichevoli. Eppure la ...

Harold Rubin, Barre Phillips, Tatsuya Nakatani: 3 on a Thin Line

Read "3 on a Thin Line" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Obiettivo e prerogativa dell'improvvisazione assoluta sono quelli di saper costruire un flusso narrativo dal senso compiuto, concatenato e denso di qualità melodiche, dinamiche e timbriche, senza poter contare su temi noti e condivisi. Non che manchi l'esigenza di ricercare e trovare spunti melodici, anzi sono proprio la qualità e la spontanea naturalezza di queste invenzioni melodiche ...

Fred Frith, Barry Guy: Backscatter Bright Blue

Read "Backscatter Bright Blue" reviewed by Vic Albani


Con la doverosa e ormai classica intraprendenza, l'intelligente Intakt elvetica ha chiamato due universi musicali distanti fra loro come quelli di Fred Frith e di Barry Guy nello studio di Willy Strehler per quella che potremmo sì definire una session d'improvvisazione ma che porta con sé anche un gradiente di creatività semplicemente straordinario. Quando c'è di ...
