Adam Berenson / Scott Barnum: Penumbra
by Karl Ackermann
Not one to be tethered to genres or styles, pianist and composer Adam Berenson has been long at home as a jazz pianist, a classical composer, an electronics player or any permutation of those roles. His previous double-CD Lumen (Dream Play, 2014)--complete with two string quartets--was indeed a far-ranging collection of styles and genres that the ...
Daniel Diaz: Swan Song
by Mark Sullivan
French composer Daniel Diaz makes his living composing soundtrack music, but Swan Song is more of a personal travelogue/soundscape. It's based around memorable melodies, supported by sophisticated harmonies and gentle, sometimes elusive rhythms. The overall effect is not unlike some of Brian Eno's ambient music: a series of brief atmospheric tunes that make more of an ...
Jeff Parker: Slight Freedom
by Dave Wayne
One is tempted to think of Jeff Parker as the first guitar anti-hero. He's a subtle player, first and foremost, not given to showy pyrotechnics and rapid-fire flights of plectral fancy. His chameleonic, almost self-effacing, presence on recordings by Tortoise, Joey DeFrancesco, Isotope 217, Fred Anderson, the Brian Blade Fellowship, Peter Erskine, Nicole Mitchell, Yo La ...
Michael Musillami, Rich Syracuse: Of The Night
by Maurizio Comandini
Il chitarrista americano Michael Musillami, attivo da oltre 25 anni sulla scena del jazz d'avanguardia, è una figura piuttosto defilata che spesso privilegia situazioni raccolte e visionarie da condividere con partner scelti con cura e attenzione per poi accendere con loro una conversazione a due o tre voci. Normalmente nei suoi album troviamo composizioni originali. Questa ...
Chat Noir: Nine Thoughts For One Word
by John Ephland
There's something about RareNoise Records that keeps you on your toes. Listen to any title side by side, and you're likely to end up scratching your head, if not enjoying a gentle smile or subtle rhapsody. Okay, some of the music can be scabrous, perhaps unlistenable. But guess what? It all fits under the RN moniker, ...
Terrence McManus & John Hebert: Saints and Sinners
by Glenn Astarita
Here's an album that was recorded in 2010 and released in 2015. Hence, It's better late than never, especially since this duo production by rising star experimental guitarist Terrence McManus and all-universe jazz session bassist and leader, John Hebert tease our imaginations via these nine contrasting works. The duo's creative improvisational sparks and acute call and ...
Donny McCaslin “Fast Future” al Teatro Franco Parenti
by Paolo Peviani
Donny McCaslin Fast Future Jazz Al Parenti Milano Teatro Franco Parenti 21.03.2016 Strana la vita del jazzista. Passi anni, come ha fatto Donny McCaslin, a suonare musica rigorosa, con collaborazioni importanti (una per tutte, quella con Dave Douglas) ed il tuo nome circola, senza nemmeno troppo clamore, esclusivamente tra ...
Ben Monder: Amorphae
by Mark Sullivan
Veteran guitarist Ben Monder is at his most experimental and atmospheric in this collection of largely improvised performances, his sixth album as a leader, and his first for ECM. The genesis of the album came from Monder's 2010 duet sessions with Paul Motian, sadly abbreviated by the legendary drummer's passing. Motian fans can surely be forgiven ...
Live From Bilston: Samantha Fish, Jah Wobble & The Magic Band
by Martin Longley
Samantha Fish/Laurence Jones The Robin R&B Club November 11, 2015 The blues has a youthful future, across both sides of the Atlantic. Singer and guitarist Laurence Jones is the latest upstart to stir the UK scene, possessing a very 1960s sensibility, as if he's a throwback to the scene ...
Tarana: A Fire Of Flowers Grows Around Us
by Dave Wayne
Musical explorations never cease. Jazz musicians are, by nature, curious and intelligent people who listen to and--for more than just economic imperatives--play all sorts of music. The farther musicians stray from their “home base," be it jazz or whatever, the deeper and richer their music becomes. The members of Tarana, Ravish Momin and Rick Parker, are ...
