Bob Downes Open Music: Blowin' With Bass
by Claudio Bonomi
Bob Downes, compositore e polistrumentista britannico, estrae dal proprio magic box un'altra chicca che farà fellce gli appassionati di jazz, o meglio, di British Jazz. Il movimento che, a partire della fine degli anni Sessanta, produsse un pimpante manipolo di musicisti-pionieri che ancora oggi calcano le scene internazionali come Evan Parker, John Surman, Keith Tippett, John ...
Kyoko Oyobe: Happy Silence
by Angelo Leonardi
Molto attiva nei club di New York, la pianista giapponese guida da un paio d'anni un quartetto che in questo CD è nella formazione originaria, con Steve Wilson, Michael O'Brien e Matt Wilson. Dal 2014 a oggi ha avuto modo di compiere un tour in Giappone con Chris Speed ospite e il suo attuale organico è ...
Thomas Johansson/Øyvind Storesund/Paal Nilssen-Love: Revolution Before Lunch
by Mark Corroto
There is probably no way to avoid the parochial mindset of the American jazz listener. Take the release Revolution Before Lunch by the Scandinavian trio of Thomas Johansson, Øyvind Storesund, and Paal Nilssen-Love. You might listen to a few notes of Johansson's trumpet as “Close As Hail" opens the affair and think, oh yeah, it's Magnus ...
Nikki Yeoh: Solo Gemini
by Bruce Lindsay
Pianist and composer Nikki Yeoh makes her solo debut with Solo Gemini. The title encapsulates the performer and the performance--a solo piano recording by musician with the star-sign of the Heavenly Twins. Yeoh shares a birthday with Bob Dylan, but her musical style is far removed from that particular troubadour. Solo Gemini encompasses music ...
Pat Martino: Nexus
by Victor L. Schermer
This CD is not only a fine addition to the Pat Martino catalogue, it is also of historical importance with respect to his personal and musical development. Recorded at the well-known eclectic nightclub the Tin Angel in Philadelphia in the mid-nineties (the exact date is not given and probably unknown), it is a duet set (or ...
Sun Ra & His Astro-Ihnfinity Arkestra: The Intergalactic Thing
by Mark Corroto
If you are a Sun Ra devotee, let's not use the terms “fanatic" or “zealot," you probably measure your collection in board feet instead of inches. Unlike many jazz legends of the 1950s, and 1960s, Herman Sonny Blount had the foresight to record his ensemble's rehearsals and concerts. He even established his own label El Saturn ...
Four Letter Words: Blow
by Budd Kopman
Four Letter Words is a trio consisting of tenor saxophonist Jake Wark, pianist Matt Piet and drummer Bill Harris, and Blow is their highly intelligent, extremely intense and deeply rewarding debut recording. As usual, labels are almost useless. Their music manages to sound quite free while simultaneously being organized around motifs, if not full ...
Camila Meza: Traces
by Angelo Leonardi
All'età di 30 anni, dopo sette di permanenza a New York, la cilena Camila Meza firma il suo primo disco di rilievo, supportata da un'etichetta di primo piano e un gruppo di prim'ordine. Nata a Santiago del Cile, Camila è giunta a New York nel 2009 per studiare alla New School (tra i suoi ...
Michael Jefry Stevens, Eliot Wadopian: Mountain Song
by Alberto Bazzurro
Album non privo di sottigliezze, di logica, di una visione coerente del dialogo a due voci, ma neppure di frequenti fasi di stanca, ripetitività e modesto appeal emozionale, questo Mountain Song, che vede uno di fronte all'altro due musicisti avvezzi alla libera improvvisazione così come a forme di interazione più definite. L'incisione risale ...
Samo Salamon & Stefano Battaglia: windS
by Mark Sullivan
Slovenian guitarist Samo Salamon and Italian pianist Stefano Battaglia are not an obvious pairing for a duet recording. Salamon's discography features his own compositions, frequently with an electric, fusion edge; classical/jazz pianist Battaglia's most well known recordings for ECM are in an impressionistic style. There are two Salamon compositions here, but the bulk of the program ...
