Enrico Pieranunzi: Permutation
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un nuovo trio si aggiunge all'elenco delle formazioni guidate dal pianista Enrico Pieranunzi, e come la maggior parte dei precedenti è composto di nomi di assoluto rilievo internazionale, come il contrabbassista Scott Colley e il batterista Antonio Sanchez, con i quali Pieranunzi aveva già collaborato separatamente.

Matthew Shipp with Mat Maneri & Joe Morris: Duos
by AAJ Italy Staff
Duos riunisce alcuni brani tratti da Thesis, duetto di Matthew Shipp con il chitarrista Joe Morris datato 1997, e altri tratti da Gravitational Systems, album registrato l'anno successivo da Shipp con il violinista Mat Maneri. La perfetta alternanza dei brani tra un'incisione e l'altra non è un semplice escamotage organizzativo ma un segnale di circolarità espressiva ...
Dave Lindholm - Otto Donner: More Than 123
by AAJ Italy Staff
Di nuovo sotto il sole non c'è nulla, ma in questi casi nulla di nuovo si chiede. Se avete amato le atmosfere da bar di Closing Time, e più in generale di tutto il primissimo Tom Waits, proverete un certo piacere assaporando, come un vecchio whisky, le sette tracce di More Than 123, EP lungo (o ...

by Ian Patterson

Søren Kjærgaard - Ben Street - Andrew Cyrille: Femklang
by AAJ Italy Staff
Suoni che sembrano uscire da un lento contagocce, arpeggi interrotti, cluster e progressioni su singole note che vanno alternativamente dall'alto verso il basso e viceversa. Il danese Kjærgaard torna con un disco in cui la materia sonora è dilatata al massimo ed esilissima. È un lavoro che per la terza volta lo vede in trio con ...
Vicious World: Vicious World Plays The Music of Rufus Wainwright
by Dave Wayne
Rufus Wainwright is one of those musicians whose work straddles several different musical genres--pop, rock, Broadway, and folk music all figure prominently into his oeuvre. While not a jazz artist by any stretch, Wainwright's music is certainly sophisticated and multilayered enough to withstand instrumental reinvention by modern jazz artists. Even without vocals, Wainwright's artistry literally thrives ...
