So Percussion: Amid the Noise
by John Kelman
The mere mention of an all-percussion ensemble can sometimes scare off listeners who prefer more conventional settings, but it's important to remember that the percussion family also includes tuned instruments like the vibes, marimba... even piano. Emerging as interpreters of contemporary new music composers like Steve Reich, David Lang and Evan Ziporyn, the twenty-something members of ...
Sentieri Selvaggi: AC / CD
by AAJ Italy Staff
Una raccolta dal retrogusto maliziosamente metallaro - AC/CD - promette bene, specie in un ambito piuttosto intellettualoide quale quello della musica ‘classica’ contemporanea. Fa fede alla promessa il collettivo-ensemble Sentieri Selvaggi [Miotto, Dulbecco, Fre, Decimo, Rebaudengo, Schrott, Del Corno, Ghirardini, Boccadoro] che affonda un bel colpo in seno alla Cantaloupe, interessante etichetta newyorkese creata dai “leggendari" ...
ETHEL: Light
by John Kelman
These days musicians raised in compartmentalized traditions can find themselves challenged by the homogeneous blending of diverse musical interests. Not so with Ethel, a young string quartet that may be traditional in configuration, but brings together a wealth of influences--not because it's fashionable, but because it's the only thing that makes sense. Light, the followup to ...
Bang on a Can / Don Byron: A Ballad for Many
by John Kelman
It's no surprise that clarinettist Don Byron bemoans the musical conservatism of the 1980s “young lions jazz movement. New York has always been richly cosmopolitan--musically and otherwise. It's also no surprise that for A Ballad for Many, his first album to focus almost exclusively on composition, he has collaborated with the intrepid new music ensemble Bang ...
Gutbucket: Sludge Test
by Abe Pollack
The members of Gutbucket have never been satisfied with the moniker “jazz quartet," nor have they wanted to fit in with stereotypical rockers. Their sound, if it had to be categorized, should be filed under noir-jazz, or maybe klez-rock, but most likely squawk-thrash. This ambiguity shines in their third full-length album, Sludge Test. ...
Gutbucket: Sludge Test
by John Kelman
Ken Thomson, who manages the contemporary classical-focused Cantaloupe Music label, lives a double life playing saxophone for Gutbucket, a quartet whose influences primarily come from jazz and rock. That might seem oddly out of place, but Cantaloupe's output has been surprisingly diverse. Recent releases range from Alarm Will Sound's refreshing reinterpretation of Aphex Twin on Acoustica ...
Sentieri Selvaggi: AC/DC
by John Kelman
While the question of what jazz is and what it isn't is an ongoing debate, jazz isn't the only genre facing an identity crisis. Just as it may be an exercise in futility to link Wes Montgomery with Marc Ducret, clear points of reference in classical music are becoming equally difficult to find. Groups like Clogs, ...
Gutbucket: Sludge Test
by Mark Corroto
Gutbucket might be the possessed grandchildren of bandleader Spike Jones, except that in the three CDs they have produced, I've yet to hear a gunshot. This modernized version of the blender band has been done before by groups such as Naked City, Blood Duster, and Mr. Bungle, but not nearly as well. Like Spike Jones, this ...
