Simon Nabatov/Mark Dresser/Dominik Mahnig: Equal Poise
by Karl Ackermann
Russian born pianist Simon Nabatov has been composing since early childhood. His career has placed his residences in Italy, New York (where he studied at Juilliard), and Germany, where he finally settled. He has worked or recorded with Barre Phillips, Ray Anderson, Ed Schuller and, as a leader, has recorded in a variety of settings from ...
Benny Golson: Horizon Ahead
by Jack Bowers
At age eighty-seven, saxophonist Benny Golson is one of the last surviving links to the Golden Age of modern jazz, ushered in by the likes of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke and others in the early '40s. Golson came on the bop scene about a decade later and has been a force ever ...
Kristin Norderval: Parrhésie
by Geno Thackara
Kristin Norderval has a lot on her mind. Most of us do, of course, but most of us probably tend to keep some mental distance between the enjoyable pleasantries (art, music obsessions and the like) and the remainder of life that's somewhat less fun (worries about society or the future of the planet). Norderval isn't like ...
Oleg Kireyev & Keith Javors: The Meeting
by Edward Blanco
Performing together since 2007, Russian saxophonist Oleg Kireyev and Philadelphia-based pianist Keith Javors formed a solid quartet they eventually led to the studio for their debut album Rhyme & Reason (Inarhyme Records, 2010). The Meeting is their follow up recording with a program of four originals and three re-imagined tunes from The Great American Songbook delivered ...
Henri Texier: Sky Dancers
by Angelo Leonardi
Torna Henri Texier, leggenda del jazz transalpino, con l'ultima mutazione del gruppo iniziato con Francois Corneloup al baritono e il figlio Sébastien al contralto. I due sassofonisti erano nell'organico dello Strada Sextet ((V)ivre, Label Bleu 2005), hanno animato il più recente Hope Quartet (con il batterista Louis Moutin) e li ritroviamo assieme qui, accanto al chitarrista ...

The Tony Lustig Quintet: Taking Flight
by Dan Bilawsky
With this sterling date, up-and-comer Tony Lustig ascends to his rightful place in the pantheon of baritone saxophonists operating today. He brings together a crack crew and delivers eight originals that simultaneously dare and delight. This music marks Lustig as a centrist, but one who's willing to take some risks and push at ...
Myriad3: Moons
by Dan McClenaghan
Someone's always trying to take a tried and true format out on a new tangent. Consider the piano trio: Bill Evans introduced deep, classically-influenced harmonics and a democracy of instrumental input in the late fifties and early sixties. The Esbjorn Svennson Trio (e.s.t.) brought in classical, rock, pop and techno elements; The Bad Plus plays with ...
Die Hochstapler: Plays The Music Of Alvin P. Buckley
by Mark Corroto
Back in high school, my physics instructor explained to us how there is a mathematical equation for everything in the universe. We started with the parabola equation of a baseball's flight after being struck by a bat. We were amazed to learn that one (not I) could also calculate the various waves on a lake. A ...
Fred Frith, Darren Johnston: Everybody/s Somebody/s Nobody
by Vincenzo Roggero
La sensazione è quella di trovarsi all'interno di una navicella che vaga lassù, nello spazio. I suoni giungono ovattati, i movimenti sono lenti e rallentati benché fluidi, vi è un certo distacco dalla crudezza della realtà terrena come se si fluttuasse in una dimensione temporale che segue altri ritmi, altre storie. Talvolta ci si imbatte in ...
