Tim Berne: Snakeoil
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il Tim Berne che non t'aspetti. Uno, la casa discografica. Da sempre lontano dal business, amico delle etichette indipendenti, fondatore egli stesso di proprie label, debutta per ECM, che major non sarà ma.... Due, il gruppo. Nuovo. Sezione ritmica formata da batteria e pianoforte (lasciato da parte il contrabbasso), front-line con sax alto e clarinetti che ...
Dob Orchestra: Tageskarte
by AAJ Italy Staff
La Dob Orchestra è un collettivo di improvvisatori che fa centro a Dobbia, vicino a Gorizia, e che raccoglie musicisti di vari orientamenti ed età. Un collettivo il cui spirito di ricerca e di costruzione di una musica che congiunga, superandoli creativamente, i contributi dei singoli è ben illustrata da uno di loro, Giovanni Maier, in ...
Elephant9: Live at the BBC
by John Kelman
Despite the re-emergence of vinyl as a once-again acceptable medium, it's still bigger in some countries than others. In Norway, there are now labels that are releasing vinyl-only editions, including the intrepid Rune Grammofon, which introduced its The Last Record Company a couple years back, with limited-run albums including guitarist Stian Westerhus' Galore (2009) and equally ...
Cogliandro - Maier - Pascolo: Kaca, Sraka in Lev
by AAJ Italy Staff
Trio piuttosto atipico con un fiato alto e uno basso, mediati dal contrabbasso, questa formazione documentata sul ventinovesimo titolo dell'etichetta Palomar è qui alle prese con composizioni dal sapore contemporaneo, tutte a firma di Giovanni Maier (clicca qui per leggere la recente conversazione che abbiamo intrattenuto con lui a riguardo dell'etichetta Palomar). E proprio attorno al ...
Jose Garcia: Songs For A Lifetime, Live
by Edward Blanco
A truly impressive recording by a jazz singer from a most unlikely place Songs For a Lifetime, Live is the debut by Jose Garcia, from Tecate, Mexico. A self-taught guitarist who grew up exposed to a variety of music including jazz, Garcia was invariably drawn to singers of music from The Great American Songbook. Concentrating on ...
Frank Harrison Trio: Sideways
by Dan McClenaghan
After studying Boston's Berklee School of Music, pianist Frank Harrison returned to his native United Kingdom, making a name for himself as a sideman, most notably in saxophonist Gilad Atzmon's band. But beginning with First Light (Basho Records 2006), he has offered up three piano trio outings, each with different personnel. On Sideways Harrison is joined ...
Talking Cows: Almost Human
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If there is anything better than the off-the-wall humor of the video promo that preceded this Talking Cows album, it is the actual album itself. Yet much more than the humor of it all is the spectacular seriousness of the music: deadly serious, and for those familiar with the high standards of music (and humor) in ...
Jack DeJohnette: Sound Travels
by Eugene Holley, Jr.
Drummer/pianist/composer/bandleader Jack DeJohnette turns seventy this year, and his longevity on the scene is only eclipsed by the astonishing variety of settings in which he's worked. Since emerging from his hometown Chicago, the ubiquitous drummer has played with important artists including saxophonist Charles Lloyd, trumpeter Miles Davis and pianists Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett (with whom ...
Eugene Chadbourne and Warren Smith: Odd Time
by Raul d'Gama Rose
All art is activist; or at least it should be when it challenges established and accepted forms that play to the laissez-faire, the reactionary and the antisocial--and the greater good of the greater number of people experiencing (or trying to experience) it. The music of Beethoven was just so, the composer cancelling the dedication of his ...
Theo Jorgensmann / Albrecht Maurer: Melencolia
by Glenn Astarita
Melencolia is based on Abrecht Dürer's 1514 engraving by the same name, created during Germany's horrific Peasants' Wars. However, these prominent jazz and avant-garde artists unite the brighter side of life to offset some fierce interactions. The lower register of Theo Jorgensmann's G-low clarinet synchronizes with Albrecht Maurer's violin and viola phrasings, bringing the ...
