Joel Harrison: Spirit House
by Blaine Fallis
Spirit House is a Joel Harrison original! Original compositions, ideas, instrumentations, and grooves. While jazz sometimes repeats itself (in style, instrumentation, or choice of songs etc.), Harrison creates completely new music worth listening to, “repeatedly." I say this because he wrote the music “specifically for this unique group of individuals," using electric guitar with ...
Kaze: Uminari
by Budd Kopman
Uminari is the third release, following Rafaele and Tornado, from the cooperative quartet Kaze, made up of pianist Satoko Fujii, the dual trumpets of Christian Pruvost and Natsuki Tamura and drummer Peter Orins. While the quartet's configuration is unusual, it is also different from Fujii's viewpoint in that she is not the leader, but rather one ...
Paolo Bacchetta: Egon's
by Vincenzo Roggero
Un colpo di fulmine. L'incontro con le opere e con la vita del pittore austriaco Egon Schiele accendono la miccia. Le idee prendono forma velocemente, altrettanto rapidamente si tramutano in segni sul pentagramma, il materiale è pronto. Passano due anni, decantazione forse forzata, forse necessaria, poi un altro incontro, quello con un gruppo di musicisti dalla ...
Julia Karosi: Hidden Roots
by Angelo Leonardi
Le radici nascoste a cui fa riferimento il titolo si riferiscono al folklore musicale magiaro di cui questo disco è intriso. Julia Karosi è una delle migliori cantanti di jazz ungheresi e in questo terzo disco da leader interpreta un repertorio con sue composizioni e canti tradizionali ungheresi. Diplomata alla Franz Liszt ...

John Russell: With...
by John Eyles
This album is a faithful record of John Russell's sixtieth birthday concert which took place at Cafe Oto, London, on Friday 19th December 2014. Everything is included here except for announcements, applause and less than half a minute of music which were all edited out to fit it onto one CD; at a few seconds short ...
Casa Futuro: Casa Futuro
by John Sharpe
At the juncture of free jazz and free improv sits the eponymous debut of Casa Futuro. In a truly co-operative trio, saxophonist Pedro Sousa joins forces with bassist Johan Berthling and drummer Gabriel Ferrandini. Portuguese improvisers Sousa and Ferrandini last combined with Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore on Live At ZDB (Shhpuma, 2014), while Berthling keeps ...
Marco Bolfelli Trio: Streamflow
by Budd Kopman
Streamflow is a very strong debut recording from guitarist Marco Bolfelli and his almost telepathic trio partners Simone Serafini on bass and Igor Checchini on drums. Reedman Klaus Gesing (bass clarinet and soprano sax), one of Bolfelli's mentors, appears on four of the eleven tracks. Bolfelli gets composer credits as well for all tracks ...

Degli oltre trenta concerti stipati nelle tre settimane di tournée troviamo qui (con qualità di riproduzione ovviamente non eccelsa, ma mediamente buona) la musica che poterono ascoltare dal vivo gli ...
