Enrico Zanisi
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Childish Gambino, Awaken, My Love, (Glassnote, 2016). Donald Glover, in arte Childish Gambino, è un artista multiforme che non conoscevo fino a poco tempo fa. In seguito allo scalpore suscitato da un video dal titolo “This Is America," pubblicato qualche tempo fa, ho avuto l'opportunità di scoprire di più i suoi lavori, in particolare ...
Cuong Vu 4Tet: Change In The Air
by Dan McClenaghan
Trumpeter Cuong Vu introduced this particular 4tet in 2017, with Ballet: The Music of Michael Gibbs (RareNoiseRecords). An all star affair that included guitarist Bill Frisell, bassist Luke Bergman and drummer Ted Poor, it seemed to signal something of a gentler Cuong Vu, with a music that had a spaciousness, patience and ruminative quality that didn't ...
Line Matter: In Motion
by Roger Farbey
The hauntingly memorable melody to “Into The Woods," one of five tracks on In Motion written by Jonathan Moore, is enhanced by the guitarist's subtle yet assured technique which recalls the likes of Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny. Moore's opening salvo is hotly pursued by Francesco Acanfora, adding a confident tenor solo. Whilst the ...

Skuli Sverrisson with Bill Frisell: Strata
by Karl Ackermann
On their two previous third-season releases, Andy Zimmerman's Half Light and Lionel Loueke's Close Your Eyes (both 2018), Newvelle Records pushed the envelope just a bit away from the deeply melodic formula that they have favored across seventeen albums to date. While those vinyl releases incorporated more elements of improvisational complexity, they were hardly foraying into ...
Skuli Sverrisson: Strata
by Franz A. Matzner
A contemplative affair, Skuli Sverisson and Bill Frisell's Strata unfolds like a slow burning fire. The hovering notes and somber guitar lines evolve gradually, emerging like wind carved monuments visible through a hovering mist to reveal a stark, melancholic, and aridly beautiful landscape. The album demonstrates a fluid, masterful interaction between the two artists ...
