Cristiano Calcagnile: St()ma
by Vincenzo Roggero
Può un album per sola batteria e percussioni (è vero c'è anche la drum table guitar ma i termini della questione non cambiano) risultare coinvolgente, organico, comunicativo e compiuto? La risposta, naturalmente affermativa, la fornisce Stoma il disco di Cristiano Calcagnile che inaugura, insieme ad US di Giancarlo Nino Locatelli, la neonata etichetta ...

Scardino aveva già al suo attivo due lavori per ampio organico, quelli ...
Pete McCann: Pay for It on the Other Side
by Glenn Astarita
World-class guitarist Pete McCann (Spin Cycle, Mahavishnu Project, Curtis Stigers) composed 10 pieces with his band members specifically in mind. His all-star quintet exhibits near flawless execution with tuneful hooks, stirring improvisational passages, and a strong mix of material that covers a lot of bases. And when the leader uses his pedals and EFX mechanisms, tinged ...

Various Artists: Unusual Sounds: The Hidden History of Library Music
by Chris May
Library music--aka stock or production music--was first marketed in the 1920s, to be used by “picture palaces" showing silent movies. Its golden age came during the 1960s and 1970s, when it provided off-the-shelf incidental music for radio, television, film and advertising. Ever since Quentin Tarantino included recordings by one of that era's most prolific British library-music ...
Tony Joe White: Bad Mouthin'
by Chris M. Slawecki
You might not recognize Tony Joe White by name but chances are you recognize his songs. A musical lone wolf born and raised on a Louisiana cotton farm about twenty miles from the nearest town (Oak Grove), White's unique blend of country funk and blues proved fertile for soulful singers from Elvis Presley ("Poke ...
Streifenjunko: Like Driving
by Glenn Astarita
The artists' first venture into the world of electronics is quietly mesmerizing and off the beaten path as some would say. Espen Reinertsen (saxophone) and Eivind Lønning (trumpet)'s previous albums, No Longer Burning (SOFA, 2009) and Sval Torv (SOFA, 2012), were acoustic sound-sculpting endeavors. And both musicians have performed together in pianist Christian Wallumrød's ensemble. On ...
Ace of Cups: Ace of Cups
by Doug Collette
There's a solid Ace of Cups album within the twenty-one plus tracks on this set. Never having released a studio work in the fifty-one years since the group made a name for itself in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, it only stands to reason AOC would be sorely tempted to make a statement for its debut, particularly in ...
Preston Glasgow Lowe: Something About Rainbows
by Roger Farbey
Several points of note emanate from this second Preston Glasgow Lowe album which smartly follows-up their eponymous debut album (Whirlwind, 2016). The first is that David Preston still employs his trademark tintinnabulating guitar tone. Then there's Laurie Lowe's drumming which even on a quiet-ish number like “Fumes" is subtly spectacular. “Beat 5" continues in ...
