Jim Snidero: MD66
by Maurizio Zerbo
Sin dal titolo MD66 mette in evidenza le linee estetiche di questo progetto di Jim Snidero, che intende omaggiare il secondo quintetto davisiano degli anni Sessanta. Le composizioni originali presentano brevi cellule melodiche come volano per una solida trama ritmica, attraversata da un ottimo interplay. Non è un disco che ridefinisce il futuro del ...
Greg Burk Expanding Trio: Deep Blue Sky
by Maurizio Zerbo
Deep Blue Sky ripropone la sonorità elettrica del sintetizzatore Moog, con scansioni ritmiche tra jazz e funky. Il canone di riferimento, in voga negli anni Settanta, viene talora rinverdito con una dimensione ritmica contemporanea. C'è pure spazio per le sonorità acustiche, magnificamente rivelate dall'aura intimistica ed introspettiva di “Starbright Reverie." Oltre a rispecchiare maggiormente ...
Miya Masaoka: Triangle Of Resistance
by Neri Pollastri
Ben nota sperimentatrice nei più diversi generi musicali, esperta interprete del koto, Miya Masaoka presenta in questo CD due lavori abbastanza diversi per organico e colore, ma omogenei stilisticamente, entrambi infatti collocabili tra la contemporanea da camera. Il primo, più complesso lavoro è quello che dà il titolo al disco -"Triangle of Resistance" -ed ...
Simone Quatrana: Punto
by Neri Pollastri
C'è qualcosa di (positivamente) antico in questo lavoro in trio del pianista frusinate ma di stanza a Milano Simone Quatrana, studi con Franco D'Andrea, esperienze con Peter Brotzmann e Ken Vandermark, e militanza, tra l'altro, nell'Extemporary Vision Ensemble di Francesco Chiapperini (clicca qui per leggere la recensione di Our Redemption) e qui alla testa di un ...

The improvisational format ...
Alex Sipiagin: Moments Captured
by Andrew Luhn
Trumpeter Alex Sipiagin's 12th outing as a leader for the esteemed Criss Cross label finds him returning to the three-horn front line format that he previously explored on the masterful “Destinations Unknown" (Criss Cross, 2011). Returning from that date are tenor giant Chris Potter and the unrelentingly groovy Eric Harland on drums. David Binney is Sipiagin's ...
Jamie Saft - Steve Swallow - Bobby Previte: Loneliness Road
by Dan McClenaghan
So, the front man for the rock/pop group called The Stooges gets an invite to pitch in with a classic jazz piano trio.
