Alex Ward Trios & Sextet: Projected / Entities / Removal
by John Eyles
This release follows so hard on the heels of Glass Shelves and Floor (Copepod, 2015) by Alex Ward Quintet that it is tempting to see the two as a matched pair. Released on Ward's own Copepod label, the two have consecutive serial numbers and very similar sleeve designs and graphics. Each of the albums is titled ...
Colin Trusedell: It’s All About the Hustle
by C. Michael Bailey
Bassist Colin Trusedell is making quite the name for himself. His previous recordings, Colin Trusedell Trio: Some Of My Best Friends Are... Divas (Self Produced, 2013) and Colin Trusedell: Quartet Of Jazz Death (Self Produced, 2014) were well received within these electronic pages. The former was a most excellent acoustic affair featuring some of Trusedell's singing ...
Marike van Dijk: The Stereography Project
by Angelo Leonardi
Il fermento creativo in ambito orchestrale che caratterizza oggi la scena statunitense si arricchisce di una talentosa giovane sassofonista e compositrice olandese: Marike van Dijk. Trasferitasi a New York nel 2008 dopo un lunga pratica al sax contralto (dall'età di 11 anni) e un master degree al conservatorio di Rotterdam, la van Dijk ha ...
Vincent Peirani: Living Being
by Neri Pollastri
Musicista emergente d'oltralpe, eclettico con collaborazioni che vanno dal folk alla classica e con musicisti di ogni latitudine (si pensi a quella, ormai collaudata, con la cantante Youn Sun Nah), Peirani è qui alla testa del suo quintetto, composto da coetanei con i quali condivide l'esperienza della musica fin da giovanissimo. Il repertorio in ...
Erik Friedlander: Oscalypso
by Troy Collins
As a veteran of the fertile 1990s Downtown NYC scene, cellist Erik Friedlander has been involved in myriad creative endeavors, including innovative sideman work with Dave Douglas and John Zorn, while leading his own unique ensembles, such as Chimera and Topaz. More recently, Friedlander has been performing solo and developing projects inspired by rural Americana, but ...
Jakob Buchanan: Requiem
by Jakob Baekgaard
One of the defining characteristics of mankind is the awareness of death as a part of the human condition. We all know that we are going to die. This awareness has been an inspiration to many artists and it could be said that art itself is a way of coming to terms with death. This is ...
Scott Hamilton & Jeff Hamilton Trio: Live In Bern
by Edward Blanco
Scheduled to play at the International Jazz Festival in the city of Bern, Switzerland in 2014, festival founder Hans Zurbrugg asked drummer Jeff Hamilton to bring his trio as the center-piece of the festivities that week. Also there the same week was saxophonist great Scott Hamilton adding another master of the jazz idiom to the lineup ...
Guapo: Obscure Knowledge
by Glenn Astarita
This British band sports a colossal sound as they merge discrete flavors and variations of progressive rock into a singular or rather idiosyncratic group focus on its tenth release and third production for Cuneiform Records. With mesmeric minimalism, doomsday crescendos and certain movements built on math rock, the coalescence of keyboardist Emmett Elvin with guitarist Kavus ...
Giancarlo Tossani Synapser + Ralph Alessi: Newswok
by Vincenzo Roggero
Terzo episodio di un'avventurosa ricerca musicale chiamata Synapser, Newswok ha tutte le carte in regola per timbrare a fuoco con il marchio della qualità più sofisticata il quartetto del pianista e compositore Giancarlo Tossani. Non solo per la presenza tutt'altro che accessoria del talento di Ralph Alessi, non solo perché Auand è etichetta che ha sostenuto ...
Marcel et Solange, Samuel Blaser: Tomate et parapluie
by Alberto Bazzurro
Una musica intelligente, arguta, fortemente intenzionale fino a risultare qua e là un po' calligrafica, è quanto ci arriva dal singolare (non fosse altro che per il nome) trio transalpino, nell'occasione (al suo secondo album) ospitante il trombone di Samuel Blaser (svizzero, lui), che dà rotondità e un colore in più alla tavolozza timbrica di base, ...
