Mole: What’s the Meaning?
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il Mole Quartet è un progetto nato sull'asse composto dal pianista messicano Mark Aanderud e dal batterista argentino Hernan Hecht, che insieme al virtuoso chitarrista David Gilmore e al roccioso bassista Jorge “Luri" Molina hanno dato vita a un progetto molto interessante, capace di distinguersi per uno stile personale e per la notevole cifra tecnica messa ...
Stone Quartet: Live at Vision Festival
by AAJ Italy Staff
Live at Vision Festival è la seconda uscita, dopo il debutto del 2008, di un quartetto di prima grandezza della scena improvvisativa internazionale. Musicisti affermati, con una lunga storia di frequentazioni le più disparate, sorretti da un'inesauribile sete di ricerca che li ha portati a sperimentare in qualunque luogo fisico e spirituale ove albergasse il seme ...
Sara Gazarek: Blossom & Bee
by Dan Bilawsky
Vocalist Sara Gazarek was in a recording slumber for the past half decade, but 2012 seems to be the year that this sleeping jazz vocal beauty finally awakens. She eased her way back into the ears of her fans with Where Time Stands Still (Charleston Square Recordings, 2012), a collaboration that paired her with Germany's Triosence, ...
Adam Baldych And The Baltic Gang: Imaginary Room
by Bruce Lindsay
Despite the perceived similarities between musical groups and gangs, there are surprisingly few examples of bands with a “gang" appellation. There's American rockers the James Gang, Brit-punks the Tyla Gang and of course there's the Purple Gang (although that was just a rhythm section). Imaginary Room, the debut release from violinist Adam Baldych and The Baltic ...
Remi Alvarez / Ingebrigt Haker Flaten: First Duet Live
by Jerry D'Souza
Tenor saxophonist Remi Àlvarez has drawn several musicians into his sphere as an improviser. The collaborations have spawned several fine recordings that brim with intense interplay and resolute imagination. His encounter with bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten is no exception. Born in Oppdal, Norway, Flaten has made an impact on the Scandinavian free jazz movement. ...
Marco Santilli - Paolo Alderighi: Godiva Soleva
by AAJ Italy Staff
Del clarinettista ticinese Marco Santilli ci eravamo già occupati cinque anni orsono, in occasione di un suo interessante duo di ance con Giordano Muto, Belli in zona, apprezzando, accanto alla musica, l'humor che permeava il lavoro. Giudizio che possiamo confermare dopo l'ascolto di questo suo ben diverso duo con il pianista milanese Paolo Alderighi. Le composizioni ...
Orchestra Cocò: Passepartout - Canzoni d'amore
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ironia velata di malinconia “manouche" sullo sfondo di questo lavoro dell'Orchestra Cocò. Django è il nume tutelare per spirito ed atmosfera di questa ricerca nel nostro patrimonio della canzone che molte cose ha da offrire a chi abbia l'intenzione di cercarne documenti a volte di non minore valore rispetto ad altri repertori molto più frequentati e ...
Stian Westerhus: Pitch Black Star Spangled
by John Kelman
With advances in technology allowing musicians to turn real-time solo performances into works of near-orchestral expansiveness, the concept of a solo guitar album has become something much different than when guitarists like Lenny Breau turned the instrument on its side with Five O'Clock Bells (Genes, 1977), deceptively sounding like the work of two guitarists with no ...
Rich Halley: Back From Beyond
by Bruce Lindsay
The arrival of a new album by saxophonist and field biologist Rich Halley reliably signals a few good things: inventive composition and improvisation; tight, powerful, playing; driving grooves; a sense of humor...and squeak toys. Back From Beyond, credited to the Rich Halley 4, keeps up the pattern.Based in Portland, Oregon, Halley's extensive discography dates ...
Rodrigo Amado: Burning Live At Jazz AO Centro
by Mark Corroto
Rodrigo Amado's improvising Motion Trio might be better described as The Confluence Trio or Conflux, because its sound is a meeting of rivers. Like the three rivers of Pittsburgh, where the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers join to create the Ohio River, or Sangam, India where the Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati meet, the music of the Motion ...
