Thomas Heberer's Clarino: Cookbook
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'incorruttibilità di un'idea: il trio guidato dal trombettista tedesco Thomas Heberer, che come si notava recensendo il precedente Klippe rimanda a esperienze di jazz squisitamente da camera quali KoKoKo o il Contemporary The Threee & The Two di Shelly Manne con Giuffre e Shorty Rogers (The Three, ovviamente), riconferma capillarmente quanto espresso. Vale a dire una ...
Clementine Gasser - Jacek Kochan - Tellef Ogrim: What's Wrong with Now?
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo bel trio multinazionale si tuffa a testa in giù nel fiume limaccioso della musica sperimentale nel corso di un concerto registrato in studio alla fine di settembre del 2010, a Vienna. La violoncellista svizzera Clementine Gasser ha forse il ruolo centrale nel portare avanti il filo dell'improvvisazione ma dietro di lei il polacco Jacek Kochan ...
Stephane Grappelli with Orchestra: Plays Jerome Kern
by AAJ Italy Staff
Realizzato nel 1987 Stephane Grappelli plays Jerome Kern è uno di quei dischi che mette d'accordo tutti gli amanti della buona musica, al di là dei generi e delle preferenze personali. Il jazz c'è, anche se rimane sullo sfondo e si manifesta in uno swing sospeso, intrinseco, ma ci sono anche movimenti collettivi che rimandano all'idea ...
Eric Revis 11:11: Parallax
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sei composizioni del leader, una a testa per Ken Vandermark e per Michael Attias (sassofonista di grande talento, non adeguatamente riconosciuto), tre improvvisazioni collettive, e due brani - Fats Waller e Jelly Roll Morton - che pescano agli albori del jazz. È questo il menu proposto da Parallax, album dagli incroci e incontri impossibili, dalle prospettive ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by AAJ Italy Staff
Mettere in fila un paio di idee e fissarle su nastro, magari riuscendo a dire qualcosa di significativo, è alla portata di molti. Restare in carreggiata per dieci anni e cinque dischi - sei compreso il doppio Live in Coimbra -, viaggiando a mille all'ora e con il motore sempre al massimo dei giri, è cosa ...
Madeline Eastman + Randy Porter: A Quiet Thing
by Dan Bilawsky
When Bay Area vocalist Madeline Eastman released Bare: A Collection Of Ballads (Mad-Kat, 2001), it was a bit of a departure from her previous recorded work. By that point, she was a decade into a critically acclaimed recording career and she had established herself as an adventurous, risk-taking, creative artist with albums like Point Of Departure ...
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten: Live at Jazzfest Saalfelden
by Mark Corroto
Of the twelve current projects in which bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten works, his Chicago Sextet is the one that, perhaps, most foretells his future as a jazz impresario. Like bassist Dave Holland, who made his reputation with trumpeter Miles Davis and in the band Circle, before championing (almost exclusively) his own bands both large and small, ...
Neil Welch: Twelve Tiny Explosions
by Bruce Lindsay
It's good when an album title tells it like it is. Twelve Tiny Explosions is Seattle tenor saxophonist Neil Welch's third solo saxophone album and consists of a dozen tunes, each of which can be described as an “explosion." Welch's technical ability on his instrument of choice, sheer power and inventive musicality combine to create a ...
Marc Riordan Quartet: Binoculars
by Mark Corroto
Question: when is a pianist-led recording also a drummer's record? That query, as it relates to pianist Marc Riordan's Binoculars, is not poised as a Zen koan, because there is an answer.The correct response: when the pianist is a drummer.Riordan, an up-and-coming percussionist in the Chicago music scene, can be heard in ...
Paul Baxter Quartet: Monuments
by Bruce Lindsay
The understated monochrome cover of the Paul Baxter Quartet's debut album Monuments is both honest and misleading. Honest, because the UK-based quartet is understated: no gimmicks, nothing flash, no attempt to craft any sort of archly irrelevant image. Misleading, because its rather dull exterior fails to hint at the delights to be found inside, for this ...
