Todd Bishop Group: Little Played Little Bird

Read "Little Played Little Bird" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Fans of alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman have had to sit through a long wait since the free jazz pioneer's last recording, Sound Grammar (Sound Grammar Records, 2006), a marvelous set that garnered the artist a Pulitzer Prize. Those fans are still waiting, though the iconic jazz man has teased them with his bits and pieces (non-album ...

Oscar Del Barba Ensemble feat. Franca Masu: Amor y PaSión

Read "Amor y PaSión" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

A quasi dieci anni dai lavori con il Cuarteto Nuevo Tango, il colto ed eclettico pianista bresciano Oscar Del Barba torna sulle atmosfere argentine, riallacciando in discorso con due dei suoi collaboratori di allora - Beccalossi e Alberti - e ampliando la formazione con l'ingresso degli splendidi archi di Maiore e della Vicentini, aggiungendovi in quattro ...

Read "The Major" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Japanese born reedman Nobuyasu Furuya splits his time between his native country and Portugal, where The Major was captured.

Gerry Hemingway - Marilyn Crispell: Affinities

Read "Affinities" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

L'incontro tra pianoforte e batteria ritorna periodicamente nella storia del jazz e della musica improvvisata, ma in questo caso qualsiasi esempio ci porterebbe fuori tema. Certamente nell'affrontare a parole questo CD sarebbe interessante partire dal recupero del pianoforte come strumento percussivo e dagli aspetti profondamente innervati in una cultura musicale fatta di ritmi e pulsioni, ma ...

Ray Anderson Pocket Brass Band: Sweet Chicago Suite

Read "Sweet Chicago Suite" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Alla fine tutto è diventato un po' tascabile se ci si pensa! Così, in ordine sparso, dal vinile all'mp3, dalla big-band al piccolo gruppo [una dinamica già ben nota alla fine degli anni Quaranta], dallo studio di registrazione al laptop, e via dicendo... e se ci si pensa bene, anche lo stesso rileggere la tradizione è, ...

Bruno Chevillon - Tim Berne: Old And Unwise

Read "Old And Unwise" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Chissà se c'è qualche ironia autobiografica, qualche riferimento al proprio percorso artistico, nel vecchi e non-saggi del titolo. Perché sebbene Bruno Chevillon e Tim Berne non siano propriamente anziani (al contrario, diremmo che sono nel pieno della maturità artistica), indubbiamente siamo di fronte a due vecchie volpi della musica improvvisata. E altrettanto indubbiamente i due con ...
