The Gurdjieff Folk Instruments Ensemble / Levon Eskenian: Music of Georges I. Gurdjieff
by Nenad Georgievski
Philosopher, traveler, mystic, spiritual adventurer, teacher, musician and a fervent seeker of esoteric knowledge, G. I. Gurdjieff and his legacy are still of interest to many. His early years shrouded in mystery, he wandered through Central Asia and Middle East while still a young man, absorbing the spiritual and philosophical ideas of the religions he encountered, ...
Milan Stanisavljevic: Awakening
by Jerry D'Souza
Milan Stanisavljević evokes the intimacy of a trio to set up some evocative images on his debut CD, Awakening. The pianist has his vision and his focus in clear perspective; this is a jazz recording, the music well within the mainstream, even as Stanisavljević finds his calling in swing and blues. Tempering that approach is the ...
Todd Clouser: Todd Clouser's A Love Electric
by Chris M. Slawecki
"A Love Electric is possibility and energy," explains guitarist, composer and bandleader Todd Clouser. “I come from a rock place as a player. I still love Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and the total madness in noise, even if I'm listening to Charlie Parker, Monk, or Wayne Shorter more often these days."“All that was once new ...
Tony Jones: Pitch, Rhythm, and Consciousness
by Matt Marshall
On this ruminative record--and, indeed, it is a record, released primarily on vinyl, with MP3 downloads available--saxophonist Tony Jones, violinist Charles Burnham and percussionist Kenny Wollesen show themselves wholly comfortable within the quiet sonic space about them. Jones is the lead voice--the lead traveler, as it were--working his way across a terrain that is at once ...
Trio Shalva: Riding Alone
by Dan Bilawsky
All three members of this group originally hail from Israel, but Trio Shalva actually took shape a world away, at the global epicenter of the jazz universe. Pianist Assaf Gleizner, guitarist/bassist Koby Hayon and drummer Nadav Snir Zelniker were each pursuing their own musical paths in New York when they connected for a gig in 2009, ...
Jozef Dumoulin Trio: Rainbow Body
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Belgian pianist Jozef Dumoulin's début release with his band Lidlboj, Trees Are Always Right (Bee Jazz, 2009), revealed this one-time John Taylor student to be something of an aficionado of farting around. This is not meant pejoratively, necessarily; farting around is an honorable activity in some quarters of improvised music, and can give rise to good ...
The Spanish Donkey: XYX
by AAJ Italy Staff
A volte, non esiste nulla di più confortante del rumore. Il rumore come spazzatura della storia, si dice. Il rumore come memoria, appunto, oppure, l'Arte dei Rumori. La confusione, il fracasso, rendono un'opera moderna viva, dentro alla quale è facilmente percepibile la consistenza emotiva dell'autore, del musicista, del suo imminente atto. L'improvvisazione - nel “pasticcio" cromatico ...
The Landrus Kaleidoscope: Capsule
by Hrayr Attarian
On Capsule his second album on his own BlueLand label, baritone saxophonist and reed multi-instrumentalist, Brian Landrus pushes the boundaries of jazz and explores a more fusion-like style inspired by Motown and other related genres. Contributing to this electric sound is the addition of Nir Felder to the rhythm section whose Jimi Hendrix-like ...
A Sphere of Simple Green: Untitled Soundscapes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Venti minuti circa di musica, divisi in tre tracce improvvisate, prive di titolo, che raccolgono in unità materiale registrato in diverse sessioni d'improvvisazione tra tre musicisti avvezzi alla sperimentazione come Adriano Orrù, Silvia Corda e Simon Balestrazzi. L'effetto è molto interessante, perché la scomposizione di suoni e l'interazione tra gli artisti che scaturisce dall'improvvisazione trovano identità ...
The Tierney Sutton Band: American Road
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Tierney Sutton inhabits songs as few vocalists can or do: with a certain vulnerability and powerful drama that imbues each song with an electricity that sends tingles up and down the spine. These singular characteristics melt into her sense of how to vary her phrasing with such subtlety that, if the inner ear is not tuned ...
