Tricycles: Electricity
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'autore di questa recensione si sente in dovere di cominciare con un'avvertenza: le riflessioni critiche su questo disco dipendono dalle convinzioni poetiche di chi scrive e non da manchevolezze dei musicisti, la cui perizia tecnica ed espressiva non può in nessun modo essere messa in dubbio. Al contrario, Maurizio Giammarco, Dario Deidda e John B. Arnold ...
MSV Brecht: Hippie Tunes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Forte della coesione raggiunta grazie ad una buona attività concertistica, il quartetto MSV Brecht dà alle stampe Hippie Tunes, il loro secondo lavoro dopo l'apprezzato Urwaldallee del 2009. In scaletta troviamo otto brani originali (due per ogni componente della band) che mostrano una buona varietà di soluzioni stilistiche, in un percorso che tocca il jazz di ...
Henry P. Warner - Earl Freeman - Philip Spigner: Freestyle Band

La No Business Records ha ripescato dall'oscurità un album degli anni '80, autoprodotto dal trio composto dal clarinettista Henry P. Warner, il bassista Earl Freeman ed il percussionista Philip Spigner che operava nella scena dei Loft di New York.

Black Music Disaster: Black Music Disaster
by Troy Collins
The intriguingly titled Black Music Disaster is part of Thirsty Ear's Blue Series, which for over a decade has documented numerous cross-stylistic collaborations between artists from different genres.

Mary Halvorson Quintet: Bending Bridges
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ex allieva di Anthony Braxton, Mary Halvorson ha l'aspetto da prima della classe, di quelle compagne con la mano sempre alzata. Ma, come si sa, le apparenze ingannano, e la bionda chitarrista di Boston non solo i suoi talenti li ha coltivati per bene ma li ha condivisi con una serie infinita di musicisti noti e ...
Marc Rossi Group: Mantra Revealed
by Glenn Astarita
Multifaceted Boston-based keyboardist, composer Marc Rossi whets the harmonic palate with a genre-hopping brew of Indo-jazz, fusion and modern jazz. An educator at Boston's Berklee College of Music, Rossi is a staple in the region's progressive-jazz scene, spanning numerous formats and ensemble gatherings. Here, the artist plants his imaginative powers with a hip, upbeat, and tuneful ...
Baby do Brasil: Geracao Guerreiros do Apocalipse
by Ernest Barteldes
Over her four-decade career, Baby do Brasil (formerly known as Baby Consuelo) has constantly reinvented herself artistically. As a member of Brazil's seminal Os Novos Baianos, she helped (with the blessing of Joao Gilberto) shatter genre barriers with their fusion of rock, samba and other sounds. As a solo artist starting from the late ...
Russ Lossing: Drum Music
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'evanescente intimismo e l'obliqua semplicità delle composizioni di Paul Motian, continuano a ispirare i protagonisti delle ultime generazioni. Dopo Joel Harrison e il gruppo Motian Sickness (Maneri, Masefield, Hebert e Cosgrove - leggi la recensione di For the Love of Sarah) ecco un altro lavoro organico, proposto da uno dei pianisti più originali del jazz contemporaneo. ...
Traeben: Push
by James Pearse
The sound of Netherlands-based Traeben is one of unity. While guitarist Jens Larsen and saxophonist Søren Ballegaard unmistakably form the frontline, the chemistry and interplay between these four young musicians is key to understanding Traeben.The quartet's first album, Nordic Project (O.A.P., 2008), was recorded after the four members got together at Hague Conservatory. Nordic ...
Josh Berman & His Gang: There Now
by Mark Corroto
Josh Berman is a gambler. There Now initially gives the impression that the cornetist's reversion to the music of Eddie Condon and Pee Wee Russell is only a bluff. His gang of young Chicago improvisers weaves in and out of the 1920s, inserting free jazz passages and improvised duos that could not be anticipated in the ...
