Carlo Actis Dato, Enzo Rocco: Noise from the Neighbours
by Alberto Bazzurro
Alla vigilia del ventennale dalla sua costituzione, il duo composto da Carlo Actis Dato ed Enzo Rocco pubblica il suo quarto album, inciso dal vivo lo scorso 6 febbraio in quel di Castelleone, a una decina di chilometri da Crema, dove Rocco è nato cinquantatré anni fa. Il disco non fa che confermare le ...
LEAGUS (Herborg Rundberg & Kristian Svalestad Olstad): Lea Áigi
by Mark Sullivan
LEAGUS is a Norwegian duo made up of pianist Herborg Rundberg and guitarist Kristian Svalestad Olstad. Together they make music that ranges from minimalist atmospherics to frenetic free-noise. Rundberg has studied both classical music and jazz/pop/rock, and has worked with coastal sami traditions. Olstad studied jazz/pop/rock, and is involved in improvisation and studio recording (he mixed ...
Tania Stavreva: Rhythmic Movement
by Karl Ackermann
Pianist and New York City resident Tania Stavreva is a cross-genre trailblazer in the vein of a Stefano Battaglia. More than being at home in both classical and jazz, the Bulgarian native has found an approach that--when desired--connects elements of each form and adds her own methods, resulting in a unique hybrid. The twenty-something artist has ...
Barry Guy / Marilyn Crispell / Paul Lytton: Deep Memory
by John Sharpe
Bassist Barry Guy took a key role in pianist Howard Riley's groundbreaking trio in the late 60s, early 70s. And while that early experience has in no way defined him, it means it perhaps comes as less of a surprise that he has increasingly turned to the format in the latter part of his career. One ...
Alessio Forlani: Alameda Gardens
by Glenn Astarita
After a few spins, imagery of Florence, Italy guitarist Alessio Forlani playing a supercharged Ferrari with strings came to mind. And while there isn't a surfeit of background information on the Internet, it appears that he's also heavily involved with studio processes and production activities. Here, the guitarist kindles similarities to longtime rock guitar hero Joe ...
Tommaso Starace with Michele Di Toro: From a Distant Past
by Neri Pollastri
Abbastanza classico nell'impianto -quello del duo tra sax e pianoforte, dall'approccio marcatamente melodico e dal dialogo sostanzialmente cameristico -From a Distant past è un lavoro che deve la propria brillantezza alla virtuosa interazione delle sensibilità dei suoi due protagonisti: il pianista Michele Di Toro e il sassofonista Tommaso Starace. Cifra melodica e narrativa, dettata ...
Jason Roebke Octet: Cinema Spiral
by Giuseppe Segala
La spirale del cinema a cui Jason Roebke si riferisce in questa seconda registrazione con il suo affiatato ottetto porta l'impronta di Alfred Hitchcock, con assonanze che rimandano a Vertigo, sia nel titolo che nel tema musicale che apre il CD e lo percorre tutto, ripresentandosi in altri brani e dando un carattere fortemente unitario al ...
Shawn Baltazor: Lionsong
by Dan Bilawsky
Never judge an album by its title. That parallel to the book-and-cover adage is worth remembering, as you can never truly know what sits beyond a name or an idea until you give something a listen. Take Lionsong, for example. The roar and thunder that one might associate with the most majestic of wildcats is a ...
Neuköllner Modelle: Sektion 1-2
by Mark Corroto
The finest free jazz, that which is played at the highest levels, is actually quite tuneful. Not that the musicians rely on riffs or licks, or traditional themes. It is simply that the music, like an Abstract Expressionist painting, converges to form a whole. Just as a novice art student or someone without any art history ...
Hackney Colliery Band: Sharpener
by Nick Davies
East London's Hackney Colliery Band continue to reinvent the brass band sound for the 21st century with Sharpener. Comprised of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, sousaphone, marching percussion and electronics, the band are as inspired by contemporary rock and electronica as New Orleans marching bands and traditional British brass bands, to which their name pays homage. Their shows ...
