Jon Batiste/Chad Smith/Bill Laswell: The Process

Read "The Process" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

If anybody saw this coming, they must to be clairvoyant. The Process brings together drummer Chad Smith, the hard-hitting, groove-making force that drives the Red Hot Chili Peppers, pianist Jon Batiste, the oft-cheery personality who bridges the NOLA-New York divide with his crowd-pleasing, accessible brand of jazz, and bassist-producer Bill Laswell, a prolific, genre-blind force with ...

Bernie Worrell: The Upper Air

Read "The Upper Air" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

I musicofili più esperti sanno bene che il jazz riserva sempre delle sorprese. Ricordate il romanzo di Tabucchi in cui si parla di una confederazione di anime diverse e contrarie, pronte ad aver la meglio nella psykè del protagonista? È anche il caso del pianista Bernie Worrell, co-fondatore del celebre gruppo funk Parliament-Funkadelic, nume tutelare dei ...

Raoul Bjorkenheim and eCsTaSy: eCsTaSy

Read "eCsTaSy" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

For me, guitarist Raoul Bjorkenheim is one of those musicians whose albums are always the subject of eager anticipation. His playing is both emotionally cathartic and intellectually gratifying. His highly-charged, utterly distinctive and immediately recognizable sound has been at the center of a number of fascinating cooperative groups over the past few years, including Scorch Trio ...

Mike Rivard is a leader in this regard, pioneering some of the most unique blends of musical styles and sounds today. Talking to him about his band Club D'elf and ...

Save the Date - Settembre 2014

Read "Save the Date - Settembre 2014" reviewed by Luca Canini

by Luca Canini

Settembre è il mese del ripensamento. In questo caso doveroso perché si chiude un agosto strano e complicato per il jazz italiano. Un agosto che ha perso per strada il festival di Sant'Anna Arresi, posticipato in blocco a data da destinarsi, e gran parte di quello di Rocella, prima rinviato a dicembre (notizia diffusa attraverso un ...

Peter Brotzmann/Sonny Sharrock: WHATTHEFUCKDOYOUWANT

Read "WHATTHEFUCKDOYOUWANT" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Gone, now more than twenty years ago, guitarist Sonny Sharrock passing in 1994 seems like just yesterday. Maybe it is because his inexhaustible larger-than-life sound still permeates the music of today's free jazz community. This recording, from 1987 is a hidden gem and treasured fragment, perhaps another Rosetta Stone that allows listeners to appreciate how the ...
