Bobby Naughton: Housatonic Rumble - Live at Charlie's Tap

Read "Housatonic Rumble - Live at Charlie's Tap" reviewed by John Sharpe


Vibraphonist Bobby Naughton helms a finely attuned trio on Housatonic Rumble, a 1985 live recording drawn from previously unissued tapes discovered in his archive. Although he worked extensively with edge-loving adventurers such as Anthony Braxton and Wadada Leo Smith, and co-founded the Connecticut-based Creative Musicians' Improvisers Forum, this live set affirms a commitment to accessibility which ...

Carla Bley: Joyful Noise – Live In Hamburg 1984

Read "Joyful Noise – Live In Hamburg 1984" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


For a brief human moment, let us imagine that pianist/composer/maestro Carla Bley was cast as a villainess on the low-camp-crazy 60's Batman TV show. Yes, that one. The one with Adam West running around in tights. Who would Bley be? Perhaps, with her humorous inquests into any musical form that might threaten Gotham, she would be ...

In occasione di un mio omaggio pittorico espositivo a Bill Dixon a San Vincenzo (LI) nel 2010, Libero Farnè scrive la suddetta frase che ben fa riflettere su quanto sia importante procedere con “lentezza" per tradurre i concetti di libertà, spiritualità ...

Airelle Besson & Lionel Suarez: Blossom

Read "Blossom" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Trumpet-accordion duos are rare enough to be filed under 'endangered species,' so infrequent are sightings. Dave Douglas and Guy Klucevsek broke cover with a number of duets on the quartet album Charms of the Night Sky (Winter & Winter, 1998), but it was another quarter of a century before the population doubled with the appearance of ...
