Miguel Crozzoli / Pablo Díaz: Tierra
by Jakob Baekgaard
There is a poem by the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf (1907-1968) called “Den svarte bilden" (The black image) in which he tells about an icon whose image is kissed away. It is a spiritual act of love where the image of representation is transgressed. Interestingly, Ekelöf's poem could be an illustration of what ...
Vasil Hadzimanov Band featuring David Binney: Alive
by Nenad Georgievski
Critical to the success of this live album by the VHB is the fact that this band is, at its core, a working band.

Skordatura PE: Empty The Headbin
by Mark Corroto
The Belgian quarter has altered their name, actually shortened it from Skordatura Punkjazz Ensemble to Skordatura PE. They still are jazz artists playing punk jazz, not just punks playing jazz.

Sarah Bernstein: Still/Free
by Stefano Merighi
Nuovo talento in equilibrio tra jazz e poesia, musica per archi e improvvisazione, Sarah Bernstein introduce questo Still/Free con un lungo brano di squisito minimalismo ipnotico, poche note tematiche che lasciano il segno di una sensibilità particolare, interessata certo più alla musica di gruppo piuttosto che ad una vetrina per violino solista. Anzi, lo strumento sotto ...

Kali. Z. Fasteau: Intuit

To pigeonhole a musician is to ghettoize a music. But we all do it. Yes, Kali Z. Fasteau is a pianist, but also a drummer, a cellist and a flutist. From her twenty plus recordings she refuses to be fixed with a descriptor. She also performs on the nai, kaval and shakuhachi flutes, is a vocalist, ...
Stefano Risso: Tentacoli
by Neri Pollastri
"Musica riciclata," la definisce il suo autore Stefano Risso, quella contenuta in questo CD della Solitunes, giovane etichetta dedita ai lavori in solo (clicca qui per leggere la recensione di un altro solo di contrabbasso della label, The Inner Bass di Federico Marchesano).
