Karen Gottlieb: Music for Harp
by Alberto Bazzurro
Attraversando mezzo secolo di letteratura per arpa, Karen Gottlieb confeziona un album sufficientemente vario per uno strumento tendenzialmente piuttosto monolitico come quello che si è scelta. Del 1949 sono la pagina più attempata delle due a firma di Lou Harrison (1917-2003), che apre la raccolta, e quella di John Cage. La prima, in 5 movimenti, costeggia ...
Golfam Khayam & Mona Matbou Riahi: Narrante
by Mark Sullivan
Iranian guitarist Golfam Khayam and clarinetist Mona Matbou Riahi--also known as the Naqsh Duo--bring a whole host of additional influences to bear on the Persian musical traditions they grew up with in the collaborative music on Narrante. Khayam explains that “the freshness and purpose of improvisation come mostly from the Persian side, while the careful structure ...
David Ambrosio / Russ Meissner: Moments in Time
by Jakob Baekgaard
For a long time, bassist David Ambrosio has been a vital part of the jazz scene in New York City and his playing has been documented on many releases, including the wonderful trio recordings by pianist Eri Yamamoto. In 2014, a new chapter began in Ambrosio's story when he released his first album ...
Jack Mouse, Scott Robinson, Janice Borla: Three Story Sandbox
by Alberto Bazzurro
In una situazione di prevedibile improvvisazione totale (nessuna dichiarazione in merito), Jack Mouse e Scott Robinson hanno la non trascurabile accortezza, autentico salvavita in condizioni del genere, di limitare la durata dei brani inanellati in quest'ora scarsa di musica (nessun brano raggiunge i sei minuti), affiancati dalla vocalità di Janice Borla per così dire a macchia ...
Paul Hubweber, Frank Paul Schubert, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Clayton Thomas, Willi Kellers: Intricacies
by Angelo Leonardi
Questo concerto del 24 febbraio 2014 al B-Flat Club di Berlino, vede la luce in un doppio CD dal titolo rappresentativo. I lunghi brani sviluppati dal quintetto evidenziano quell'intreccio di voci che è proprio della musica liberamente improvvisata, che qui si ripropone nelle forme caratteristiche dell'avanguardia europea degli anni settanta. Il quintetto è formato ...
Ron Thomas/Paul Klinefelter: Duo
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Ron Thomas' talents range widely, from his Karlheinz Stockhausen-influenced electric outings like Elysium (Vectordisc, 2009), through his fluid free association piano trio sets, Music In Three Parts (Art Of Life Records, 2006) and Doloroso (Art of Life Records, 2006), to his mainstream outings that draw their inspiration from the late pianist Bill Evans--Two Lonely People ...
Greg Ward & 10 Tongues: Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Mark Corroto
To describe saxophonist Greg Ward's Touch My Beloved's Thought as his magnum opus is to impede his development as a composer. Let's just say for many a jazz artist, if this recording were included in their discography, it would be their signature piece. For Ward, it just represents the possibilities. The backstory to this ...
Sergio Krakowski: Pássaros: The Foundation of the Island
by Jakob Baekgaard
Pássaros: The Foundation of the Island is the second release on the noteworthy Brooklyn label, Ruweh Records. It is a special release in many ways. First and foremost, the leader of the date, Sergio Krakowski, is playing an instrument that is very rare in jazz: the pandeiro. The pandeiro is a hand frame ...
Wolfgang Lackerschmid & The Brazilian Trio: Samba Gostoso
by Dan Bilawsky
This was bound to happen eventually. German vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid has worked with each man in The Brazilian Trio at different times and he's long been fascinated with the sounds of their homeland, so he was destined to eventually collaborate with this collective. On Samba Gostoso, Lackerschmid is seamlessly integrated into the already-established ...
Wolfert Brederode Trio: Black Ice
by Mark Sullivan
Dutch pianist Wolfert Brederode returns to a piano trio format after the quartet albums Currents (ECM, 2007) and Post Scriptum (ECM, 2011). Not only a trio, but also new playing partners in bassist Gulli Gudmundsson and drummer Jasper van Hulten. While there's no radical stylistic shift with the new band--it's still mainly about mood and atmosphere--new ...
