Andrew Raffo Dewar: Interactions Quartet
by Libero Farnè
Ecco un esempio di come i confini fra improvvisazione di matrice jazzistica e concezione compositiva contemporanea possano oggi essere sfumati, con travalicamenti continui da un'area all'altra, sia per quanto riguarda i meccanismi della produzione sonora da parte degli esecutori, sia per quanto attiene gli esiti del messaggio musicale percepito da chi ascolta.

by Mark Corroto
Listing an accordion in a jazz sextet's lineup evokes either thoughts of avant-garde leanings or maybe kitschy hipsterism. Not so for bassist Mario Pavone. Street Songs includes Adam Matlock's bellows-driven squeezebox, not as a gimcrack ornament, but a link to the immigrant working class neighborhood music of Pavone's post-WW II youth. The musician's history ...
