Hildegard Lernt Fliegen: Cinéma Hildegard

Read "Cinéma Hildegard" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

In una lussuosa confezione “a scatola" troviamo nell'ordine: un CD (Live in Moscow, novembre 2010), un DVD (Tales Wander, film di tre quarti d'ora firmato da Michelle Brun), un poster (40x60) e un generoso booklet soprattutto fotografico, il tutto doppiato qua e là in caratteri cirillici. Dell'operazione è protagonista il sestetto del trentaseienne vocalista svizzero-tedesco Andreas ...

Fool Circle: Antonangelo Giudice - Stefano Battaglia - Giacomo Dominici - Ananda Gari: Moving Thoughts

Read "Moving Thoughts" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

"Pensieri in movimento," oltre che un titolo, è una bellissima definizione di quello che accade quando si fa e si ascolta musica. Il titolo di questo disco, dunque, traccia una direzione perfetta dal punto di vista del contesto (il Laboratorio Permanente di Ricerca Musicale Siena Jazz) che del lavoro di ensemble, il “Fool Circle" appunto, costituito ...

Sunna Gunnlaugs: Long Pair Bond

Read "Long Pair Bond" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Ci sono situazioni ipercodificate, nelle quali è operazione rischiosa avventurarsi. Lo si può fare con spirito iconoclasta, con intento di ricerca o con volontà di aderire ad una tradizione. Il trio pianistico è una di queste e Sunna Gunnlaugs è consapevole del rischio che corre, nel far uscire Long Pair Bond, alla guida del trio che ...

Beverley Beirne & Her Quartet: Seasons Of Love

Read "Seasons Of Love" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

What gives a song the status of “standard"? One thing might be its popularity with musicians and fans. Most of the dozen songs on Seasons Of Love are standards that range from the popular to the extremely popular. Another characteristic may be a song's malleability: its capacity for almost infinite re-imaginings; a something that often gets ...

Sylvain Rifflet: Alphabet

Read "Alphabet" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

While most people think of the alphabet as a collection of letters which act as the building blocks for words, Sylvain Rifflet probably isn't one of them. The French reed multi-instrumentalist seems to subscribe to the broader definition, which states that an alphabet is really “the basic elements in a system which combine to form complex ...

The Klezmatics: Live at Town Hall

Read "Live at Town Hall" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La pubblicazione di questo doppio album dal vivo collima con le celebrazioni per i venticinque anni di attività (e almeno altrettanti dischi) dei Klezmatics, nell'occasione (era il 5 marzo 2006) attorniati da una moltitudine di ospiti, anche molto prestigiosi (uno su tutti: David Krakauer). Il risultato è decisamente enciclopedico, con tutti i pro e anche qualche ...

Choban: Elektrik

Read "Elektrik" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist Jordan Shapiro extends the reach of Balkan music with a gentrified twist, hinting at a New York City downtown aura amid the indigenous fundamentals that coalesce into a variegated offering. With straight-four backbeats, streaming violins, harmonious vocal chants and dreamy electronics maneuvers, the album presents a nouveau spin on traditional southeastern European folk.

Goldamour: Terminal b

Read "Terminal b" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Vi è qualcosa di tenero e di sincero, qualcosa che riporta indietro nel tempo, verso ricordi e momenti accantonati in un angolo della memoria, dietro le apparenze di Terminal b. Perché l'album di debutto di Goldamour è una miscela di jazz, pop, chanson, elettronica che potrebbe passare inosservata, colonna sonora nemmeno tanto originale per pomeriggi spensierati, ...

Sidsel Endresen: One

Read "One" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

While those around her were busy exploring the nexus of technology and conventional instrumentation at the 2006 Punkt Festival in Kristiansand, Norway, Sidsel Endresen was demonstrating just how much could be done with one unaltered human voice. One documents the advances she's made in stretching the potential of voice and articulation. It's a record that eschews, ...
