Dante Boon / Jürg Frey: Clarinet (& Piano)
by John Eyles
Without doing an actual count of how many Another Timbre releases feature members of the Wandelweiser group, it is safe to say that they crop up regularly on the label both as composers and performers, with such names as Jürg Frey, Radu Malfatti, Michael Pisaro, Johnny Chang and Eva Maria Houben peppering the label's credits--not just ...
Peeter Uuskyla / Tellef Øgrim / Anders Berg: Ullr
by Mark Corroto
Thirty years ago, the trio Power Tools made a one-off recording Strange Meeting (Antilles New Directions, 1987). The long out-of-print LP by Bill Frisell, Melvin Gibbs, and Ronald Shannon Jackson is on many a collector's want list. While only a short-lived band, its memory persists. It was for many, a perfect storm of free-metal-jazz music. If ...

Scott Tixier: Cosmic Adventure
by Luca Muchetti
C'era un violino in un paese lontano lontano. Ha davvero il sapore di una scorribanda stellare l'album del violinista statunitense Scott Tixier. In un album che scorre via veloce con rara piacevolezza il musicista francese, a quattro anni dal debutto di Brooklyn Bazaar, condensa in 46 minuti il meglio della sua estetica più recente fra ritmi ...
Eliot Cardinaux: American Thicket
by Alberto Bazzurro
Fra composizione (anche poetica) e libera improvvisazione, il giovane pianista (e poeta, appunto) Eliot Cardinaux si affida alle cure, fra gli altri, di un musicista decisamente avvezzo a contesti del genere come Mat Maneri per realizzare questo che è il primo album interamente a suo nome (l'incisione risale all'aprile 2014). In realtà l'operazione ...
Christer Fredriksen: Vit
by Mark Sullivan
On his first two albums Norwegian guitarist Christer Fredriksen was playing in a contemporary jazz style, albeit one with clear rock influences. Urban Country (Losen, 2011) even included a cover of the Duke Ellington standard “In a Sentimental Mood." Vit finds him creating soundscapes in a single take using a loop pedal and three guitar amps ...
Ken Fowser: Now Hear This!
by C. Andrew Hovan
Taking a cue from some of the other smaller jazz-based labels, Posi-Tone has done a remarkable job over the past few years of building a roster of budding talents worthy of wider recognition. Part of the allure of such an endeavor is the ability to see the evolution of an artist's muse unfolding like a rose. ...

Jerome Sabbagh, Simon Jermyn, Allison Miller: Lean
by Vincenzo Roggero
Jerome Sabbagh fa parte di quella folta schiera di musicisti non usi alle luci dei riflettori mediatici o alle prime pagine, ma particolarmente stimati dai colleghi (non a caso Paul Motian lo volle fortemente nel nuovo trio messo in piedi poco prima della sua scomparsa). Se il suo biglietto da visita come leader è il quartetto ...
Dave Burrell, Bob Stewart: The Crave
by Alberto Bazzurro
Concepito in forma di LP, con un lato A ("The Crave," “Popolo Paniolo," “I Am His Brother," “Pua Mae 'Ole") e un lato B ("New Orleans Blues," “Spanish Swat"), questo curioso album, risalente addirittura al 1994 (13 giugno, live a Colonia), affianca due musicisti all'epoca ben più di oggi attivi sulla scena del jazz--diciamo così--post-free in ...
