John Butcher, Ståle Liavik Solberg: So Beautiful, It Starts to Rain
by Vic Albani
John Butcher sta lentamente prendendo il posto di “sua maestà" Evan Parker che potremmo definire quasi uno specialista degli incontri in duo con percussionisti vari. Scherzi a parte, il sessantatreenne sassofonista di Brighton attivo discograficamente sin dalla fine degli anni Ottanta, torna a far brillare casa Clean Feed da una parte con una ristampa ...

Avishai Cohen - Trumpet: Cross My Palm With Silver
by Karl Ackermann
If trumpeter Avishai Cohen's ECM debut, Into The Silence was a work of deeply personal content, Cross My Palm With Silver plays out with the same emotional impact, but on a global stage. Cohen composed the five pieces on this album in his native Israel, while contemplating the impact of political division on the human psyche. ...
Champian Fulton: Speechless
by Dan Bilawsky
Speechless is a date that may be best classified as a centrist statement, but it's far from the norm for Champian Fulton. While many have come to know and admire Fulton for her arresting vocals and piano work, both usually given in service to Great American Songbook classics, she's not conforming to those expectations here. For ...
Torben Waldorff: Holiday On Fire
by Dan McClenaghan
Two impressions stick in the mind after a couple of spins of guitarist Torben Waldorff's Holiday On Fire: one--he rips like a rock star; and two--the band he has put together has a sharply distinctive, modern, maybe even futuristic sound. The rock star aspect: not a surprise, for a musician whose introduction to the art began ...

A trio marked by its sparseness, Woodlander is rounded off with trumpeter Mats Spillmann and drummer Jonas Ruther, both of whom recently collaborated with Schuler on Lucerne Jazz Orchestra's Oaktree (QFTF) (Schuler ...
Dominic Miller: Silent Light
by Mark Sullivan
Classical guitarist Dominic Miller makes his ECM debut with a largely solo program. It's a gentle, lyrical affair, reflecting his experience living in Argentina, the United States, England, and France, as well as decades of international touring as a working musician. The Brazilian influence is especially strong in pieces like opener “What You Didn't Say" and ...

Pascal Niggenkemper Le 7éme Continent: Talking Trash
by Neri Pollastri
Anni fa il contrabbassista e compositore franco-tedesco Pascal Niggenkemper ebbe modo di vedere alcuni documentari sulla spazzatura che invade gli oceani e, in alcuni casi, si ammassa a formare isole galleggianti, tanto da essere denominata “il settimo continente"; impressionato dalla cosa, pensò di realizzare un progetto musicale che “mettesse in musica questa realtà assurda." Il risultato ...
