Alexander Hawkins Feat. Evan Parker + Riot Ensemble: Togetherness Music (For Sixteen Musicians)
by Mark Corroto
It is obvious from the outset that this is a significant recording. Evan Parker launches into his trademark soprano saxophone circular breathing, setting the stage for things to come. An exemplar of all things free improvisation, his virtuosity never fails to amaze. Although Parker is the marquee soloist here, the composer and organizer of this session, ...

Fabio Morgera: tradizione e progresso
by Angelo Leonardi
Tornato a vivere in Italia alcuni anni fa, dopo un lungo periodo di studio e attività professionale negli Stati Uniti, Fabio Morgera è uno dei massimi trombettisti della sua generazione e s'è imposto per lo stile estroverso, caratterizzato da intenso feeling e marcato groove.

Lawrence "Butch" Morris
Born:
Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris was an American jazz cornetist, composer and conductor.
Morris was born in Long Beach, California. Before beginning his musical career, he served in the US forces in the Vietnam War. Morris came to attention with saxophonist David Murray's groups in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Morris's brother, double bassist Wilber Morris, sometimes performed and recorded with Murray during this period. Morris led a group called Orchestra SLANG. The group features Drummer Kenny Wollesen, alto saxophonist Jonathon Haffner, trumpeter Kirk Knuffke and others. He performed and presented regularly as part of the Festival of New Trumpet Music, held annually in New York City. He also played with well-known artist and would be drummer A.R. Penck in 1990.
Made To Break: F4 Fake
by Mark Corroto
If you count their three download-only releases from 2016, F4 Fake by Ken Vandermark's Made To Break is the band's ninth release since forming in 2011. This is significant because like his quintet Vandermark 5, which existed from 1996 until 2010, this quartet and his ensemble Marker are the main drivers for the trailblazing composer. Not ...
Setoladimaiale Unit & Evan Parker: Live At Angelica 2018
by Mark Corroto
Let's consider the similarities of this large group improvisation to the High Renaissance frescoes. Any visit to a chapel or duomo in Italy reveals elaborate mural paintings on the walls and ceilings. These paintings were made on fresh (affresco) wet plaster eventually dyed into ornate religious scenes. Artists like Michelangelo and Raphael were required to create ...
Wayne Horvitz, Geoff Harper, Eric Eagle: The Snowghost Sessions
by Vincenzo Roggero
Era dall'anno di grazia 1986 che Wayne Horvitz non incideva in trio--Nine Below Zero lo vedeva insieme a Butch Morris e Bobby Previte--e mai comunque nella formazione piano-tastiere/basso/batteria. Un ulteriore motivo di curiosità e di interesse riguardo la pubblicazione di The Snowghost Sessions, seduta di registrazione per certi versi anomala, a ruota libera, senza l'obiettivo specifico ...
Horace Tapscott with the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra: Live at I.C.U.U.
by Karl Ackermann
Twenty years after his death, pianist-composer Horace Tapscott is receiving the accolades that largely passed him by at the peak of his career. Firmly ensconced in the Los Angeles jazz scene, his recording career as a leader began in 1969 when his quintet released The Giant Is Awakened (Flying Dutchman). Aiee! The Phantom (Arabesque, 1996) was ...
