Jeff Dayton-Johnson's Best of 2008
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
When the world economy entered into a tailspin this year, Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner dubbed the event the “Jazz Effect“ given that it emanated from the United States (she was drawing a parallel, for example, to the 1994 “Tequila Effect" that followed a botched currency devaluation in Mexico). I was so happy that a ...

Theo Bleckmann - Ben Monder: At Night
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'album si intitola At Night, ed effettivamente le atmosfere sono notturne. I brani si muovono in prevalenza su mezzi tempi, con strutture delicate ed eteree. Tuttavia ci sembra che l'elemento unificante dell'album, la sua identità più vera e profonda, non sia tanto la notte, quanto la musica degli anni '70. Suoni di chitarra saturi e sperimentazioni ...

Ben Monder: Dust
by James Taylor
Guitarist Ben Monder's sophomore effort, originally recorded for Arabesque in 1997 and now reissued by Sunnyside, covers all the ground from free, ambient and discordant to tight, together and melodically upbeat. Most of Monder's work (in fact, much of his best work) has been as a sideman; he has only released two albums as a leader ...
Ben Monder: Excavation
by Chris May
There may be five years and several thousand miles between them, but Ben Monder's Excavation is the mirror image of Bright Side, the most recent album by Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel. It's a dark mirror, though, cracked and clouded. Both discs feature technically phenomenal musicians, each an adventurous improviser who gives equal weight to precisely arranged, ...

01. Boulez Conducts Ligeti (Deutsche Grammophone - 1994). Questo disco contiene i concerti per violoncello, violino e pianoforte ma ascolto principalmente il concerto per violino. 02. Milton Babbitt - Piano Music Since 1983 (CRI - 1997). Martin Goldray al pianoforte. Musica incantevole da un compositore sottostimato forse perchè difficile e austero. Questa registrazione dovrebbe far cambiare ...
Ben Monder: Surprise from Cohesion
by Paul Olson
After twenty years in New York City, guitarist Ben Monder has played with, well, everyone: Paul Motian, Guillermo Klein, Tim Berne, Jack McDuff, Lee Konitz, Maria Schneider, and a plethora of other notables. At the same time, he's been quietly creating some outstanding work as a leader, fronting his own trio and quartet and releasing, to ...
