Bob Belden Animation: Machine Language
by Vincenzo Roggero
Intorno all'anima, ai pensieri, ai sogni e ai sentimenti delle macchine sono stati versati fiumi d'inchiostro, così come più di un musicista ha cercato di fornire la personale interpretazione del problema. L'eclettico sassofonista, compositore, arrangiatore Bob Belden, prematuramente scomparso il maggio scorso per problemi cardiaci, ci lascia con Machine Language l'ultima testimonianza della sua arte, attraverso ...
Nicola Fazzini Minimum Sax: Random2
by Alberto Bazzurro
Poco più di mezz'ora di sax alto solo, suddivisa in quarantasei microtracce a loro volta ricondotte a dieci gruppi primari (vedi elenco dei brani in calce): questa la struttura del primo lavoro solitario di Nicola Fazzini, milanese di nascita ma trevigiano d'adozione (e in mezzo discreto giramondo), il quale parla di “composizioni originali nate da un ...
Alberto Vilas Quinteto: Crónica Cromática
by James Nadal
There might be something to the theory that separation brings about greater creative awareness. The region of Galicia, on the northwest corner of Spain, though not geographically isolated, does pride itself in its unique cultural traits as music and language, differentiating itself from the rest of Spain. Given the historical influence of Celtic music in this ...
Miles Davis: Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4
by Maurizio Comandini
Il criterio utilizzato dai produttori della Sony Legacy, per questo quarto box della eccellente 'The Bootleg Series,' è piuttosto interessante e singolare: il legame che lega assieme varie performance di Miles Davis con i suoi vari gruppi, non è quello temporale come succede di solito, ma bensì quello spaziale, per di più preso in senso molto ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin: Ichigo Ichie
by Angelo Leonardi
Ecco il primo documento discografico della Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin, l'organico europeo più stabile tra quelli che la pianista ha diretto in questi anni. L'album è stato registrato nel gennaio 2014, esattamente un anno dopo Shiki, la sua ultima pubblicazione orchestrale con la formazione che dirige a New York. L'organico è formato da musicisti ...
John Ellis: Charm
by Doug Collette
Through the course of more than a half dozen albums under his own name, increasingly less traditional with each successive release including Dance Like there's No Tomorrow (Hyena, 2008) Puppet Mischief (Oblique Sound, 2010), saxophonist/composer John Ellis has developed and refined his own sound, particularly through his continued work with his band Double Wide. Charm further ...
Keith Rowe and John Tilbury: Enough still not to know
by John Eyles
It was back in late 2011 that the last collaboration between Keith Rowe and John Tilbury was issued, E.E. Tension and Circumstance (Potlatch, 2011), having been recorded live in Paris in December 2010. As that was their second duo recording, following the double CD Duos for Doris (Erstwhile, 2003), and they had not played together since ...
Shemekia Copeland: Outskirts Of Love
by James Nadal
The Blues. Much has been written about how it has influenced countless artists in a variety of genres, but few can claim to have been born into the blues. Blues singer Shemekia Copeland, as daughter of Texas bluesman Johnny Copeland, has this unique distinction, and has borne this trait with heartfelt integrity. Bequeathed with a dynamic ...
Thomas Fonnesbaek: Where We Belong
by Chris Mosey
Aficionados increasingly see Danish bassist Thomas Fonnesbaek as a successor to the late, great Nils-Henning Orsted Pedersen. He is heard here as part of a trio featuring Swedish pianist Lars Jansson, the format that established his reputation. The album consists primarily of Fonnesbaek's own compositions and others put together on the spot with ...
Derek Nash Acoustic Quartet: You've Got To Dig It To Dig It, You Dig?
by Bruce Lindsay
You've Got To Dig It To Dig It, You Dig?: not just a groovy album title, but wise words of advice. Saxophonist and bandleader Derek Nash clearly takes this advice to heart, crafting an album that's filled with eminently dig-able music. The advice that inspires Nash and his fellow players, as well as inspiring ...
