Dreams And Dust: Two From Pianist Izumi Kimura
by Ian Patterson
2025 will go down as a busy year for Ireland-based, Japanese pianist Izumi Kimura. The first half of the year served up the solo album Butterfly Effect (Codama Records) and Glacial Voyage (Between The Lines)--the latter a free-form duo collaboration with guitarist Christy Doran. Both albums favored explorations of mood and textures over virtuosity. Two further ...

by Neri Pollastri
Per celebrare il settantesimo compleanno di Zlatko Kaučič (di cui si parla nella recente intervista), avvenuto nel 2023, l'etichetta con cui il batterista sloveno ha pubblicato diversi suoi lavori negli ultimi anni, Fundacja Słuchaj, ha presentato questo cofanetto di quattro CD che documentano altrettanti concerti, tre dei quali registrati in occasione di diverse edizioni del Brda ...

Barry Guy, Jaleel Shaw, Linda May Han Oh & Zoh Amba
by Maurice Hogue
English avant-garde bassist Barry Guy is considered one of the finest in any musical genre and his compositional work is equally regarded. One of his signature pieces is “Harmos," and you will hear that as performed by the London Jazz Composers Orchestra recorded live in Krakow Poland. Saxophonist Jaleel Shaw's new Painter Of The Invisible provides ...
Agustí Fernández: Aesthetic of Prisms
by Neri Pollastri
Cofanetto di ben sette CD, edito per celebrare i settant'anni del pianista catalano, Aestethic of Prisms permette di ascoltare Agustí Fernández all'opera in numerose situazioni e con compagni diversi, sebbene sempre rigorosamente alle prese con l'improvvisazione libera e non idiomatica, di cui è uno dei grandi interpreti contemporanei. Apre la raccolta Blue Rose, un ...
Ramón López: 40 Springs In Paris
by Mark Corroto
To say that Spanish-born Ramón López is an in-demand drummer would be an understatement. His recent collaborators span a wide spectrum of creative music, including Satoko Fujii, Natsuki Tamura, Ivo Perelman, Barry Guy, Agustí Fernández and Angelica Sanchez--and that list reaches well beyond the realms of jazz and free improvisation. López has performed in intimate ensembles ...
Sergio Armaroli / Francesca Gemmo / Barry Guy: At Sotto Il Mare First Visit
by John Sharpe
Deep hinterlands distinguish the three protagonists on this exceptionally simpatico date and imbue it with a sharpened sense of purpose. You might call it freely improvised, but as the liner notes reveal, unplanned might be a better descriptor. Italian vibraphonist Sergio Armaroli, who seems to be the principal mover, reportedly gave short verbal instructions before the ...
Izumi Kimura: Butterfly Effect
by Ian Patterson
Japanese pianist Izumi Kimura has earned plaudits through her various improvisation-based projects with double bassist Barry Guy, percussionist Gerry Hemingway, and guitarists Christy Doran and Tommy Halferty, to cite just a few of her principal collaborators. But Kimura, a long-term resident in Ireland, is equally compelling when going it alone. Over the years, she has clocked ...
Marilyn Crispell: Fearless, Deeply Sensitive and Shaping the Moment
by Dean Nardi
As Marilyn Crispell talked about her multitude of recent recordings, either solo or with this trio or that quartet, she mentioned needing to pack her bags before going out on tour. She has lived in Woodstock, New York since 1977 and is comfortable there. “When I'm at home, not out recording, I look out in the ...
Savina Yannatou: Letting the Voice Go Where It Goes
by Katchie Cartwright
Savina Yannatou flies through vast reaches of space and time as she works, like the swallows and warblers who traverse the Sahara, stopping in Greece on their annual pilgrimage to breeding grounds in the North, thousands of miles away. She is an artist “beyond category," to borrow Duke Ellington's phrase, whose programs and performances combine Mediterranean ...
