Ingrid Laubrock Anti-House: Roulette of the Cradle
by Stefano Merighi
Ingrid Laubrock è sicuramente un'ottima musicista. Lo ha ampiamente dimostrato sia come improvvisatrice negli innumerevoli gruppi di cui fa parte, sia come leader: con l'ottetto, con Sleepthief, fino a questo Anti-House, sicuramente il suo organico principale. Non facile però è dire quale sia la direzione prevalente della sua musica, la cui sovrabbondanza linguistica segnala un'ambizione lodevole ...
Patrick Bebelaar: Reflection in Your Eyes
by Vincenzo Roggero
Il quartetto guidato dal pianista tedesco Patrick Bebelaar giunge in sala d'incisione dopo una serie di concerti dal vivo nei quali i quattro musicisti hanno avuto modo di approfondire e affinare le reciproche sensibilità. Ne esce un lavoro certamente organico e coeso ma altrettanto variegato nelle atmosfere e nella scrittura, grazie anche all'idea di scomporre il ...
Jeff Denson Trio: Jeff Denson Trio + Lee Konitz
by Dan Bilawsky
Part of the beauty and challenge in following the late career recordings of saxophone icon Lee Konitz can be traced to the way he continues to grow and evolve, inspired by the many and varied musicians he works with and, in turn, inspiring them. Anybody who's heard him wildly deconstruct a standard with pianist Dan Tepfer, ...
Lacerda / Manso / Nilssen-Love / Zenicola: Bota Fogo
by Mark Corroto
There are secrets revealed and the true identities of musicians often emerge, not under the guidance of a music producer, but within the allegiances they form as they freelance around the world. Take Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love, for instance. Early (very early) in his career he (and bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten) backed players like Bugge Wesseltoft, ...
Ava Mendoza: Unnatural Ways
by Glenn Astarita
The debut album led by West Coast USA guitarist, vocalist Ava Mendoza parallels some of the principles established by the renegade New York City downtown scene with correlations to avant- rock albums produced by John Zorn for his long-running Tzadik record label. I listened to the LP, and it appears that the only ...
Chris McNulty: Eternal
by Blaine Fallis
Losing a child. The pain can't be explained, although a close personal friend of ours lost their first born during childbirth. After the months of preparation, the painting of rooms, the choosing of a name. In response to their loss, they built a gorgeous rose garden, and placed poetic emblems on the back fence. And our ...
The Kandinsky Effect: Somnambulist
by Vic Albani
Smanacciando in fondo al barile dei ricordi, molti “giovani recensori di mezza età" di questo lavoro, sentenziano che, comunque sia, trattasi di un gruppo e di un disco post-moderno. Credo sia ormai un classico del quando non si trovino agganci essenziali o illuminanti neologismi, rispolverare un'aggettivazione che sembra ormai entrata nello standard delle ...
Star Hip Troopers: Planet E
by Luca Muchetti
Interferenze cinematiche, loop e pulviscolo elettronico sono gli ingredienti base su cui il progetto del DJ e produttore Mess Morize (nuova identità di DJ Knuf, nome d'arte che gli appassionati della scena romana conosceranno bene) costruisce un notevole progetto di jazz futuro e possibile in compagnia di una nutrita schiera di musicisti come Piero Delle Monache, ...
Chris Washburne & The SYOTOS Band: Low Ridin'
by Dan Bilawsky
Originals, Latin classics, and the occasional standard appear on this outfit's five previous albums, all of which were released on the Jazzheads imprint. But a new day has dawned with Low Ridin', as venerable trombonist Chris Washburne and his smoking Latin ensemble arrive at a new label--Zoho Roots--and take a new tack, delivering a program of ...
Alyssa Allgood: Lady Bird
by Tyran Grillo
Vocalist Alyssa Allgood has been hailed as one of the most promising young voices in jazz, and with good reason. She brings a full spread of talents to the table. Immediately noticeable are the freshness of her improvisational appetizers, the refinement of her main courses, and especially the tactfulness of her holistic desserts in arranging and ...
