Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You've Been Watching Me
by Vincenzo Roggero
Snakeoil di Tim Berne è sicuramente formazione che farebbe fare l'en plein in un “Blindfold test," procedura ideata dal critico musicale Leonard Feather attraverso la quale il musicista in questione viene sottoposto all'ascolto di un disco, con lo scopo di individuarne il titolare ed esprimere una valutazione. Troppo riconoscibile l'impianto sonoro, troppo solide le coordinate stilistiche ...

Antimufa: New Ways of Argentinean Music
by Alberto Bazzurro
Questo che è l'album d'esordio del giovane quartetto argentino (ma di stanza ad Amsterdam) Antimufa parla di “nuove vie della musica argentina," ma poi in realtà rilegge--in chiave aggiornata, per carità--una serie di sacri testi della letteratura musicale gaucha, per la precisione dieci, entro i quali gioverà una sia pur sintetica perlustrazione. Si ...
Anne Mette Iversen's Double Life: So Many Roads
by Neri Pollastri
Originaria della Danimarca, la contrabbassista e compositrice Anne Mette Iversen si è giovanissima trasferita a New York per favorire la propria formazione, per poi spostarsi a Berlino.

David Berkman: Old Friends And New Friends
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist David Berkman has come full circle with Old Friends And New Friends. He's back on Palmetto records, the label that released his first four records as a leader between 1998 and 2004; Matt Balitsaris, who helped shape and capture the sound on those albums, is back at the helm, serving as engineer, co-producer and sounding ...
Toots Lorraine: Make It Easy
by C. Michael Bailey
Firstly, who can possibly deny the name “Toots Lorraine?" That name is to the barrelhouse music on Make It Easy as Harmon Killebrew or Dizzy Dean are to baseball. So what's in this name, Toots Lorraine? Well, that's where things expand. Along with husband, guitarist and co-leader of The Traffic, Chad Dent, Lorraine is a potent ...
Huntsville: Pond
by John Eyles
Since the Norwegian trio Huntsville first came together in 2006, they have been eclectic enough to keep listeners guessing what to expect next and who they might collaborate with, making each of their album releases an intriguing and exciting event. After their debut album For The Middle Class (Rune Grammofon, 2006) featured the three core players—guitarist ...
Kyle Nasser: Restive Soul
by Hrayr Attarian
Boston native saxophonist Kyle Nasser's debut Restive Soul is a cohesive collection of ten, intriguing and elegantly crafted, Nasser originals. The music has a surprising maturity tempered with passionate spontaneity and a darkly cinematic ambience. A mysterious aura shrouds the evocative “Shadow Army" that opens with pianist Dov Manski's percussive chords. Guitarist Jeff Miles' ...
Irek Wojtczak & The Fonda-Stevens Group: Folk Five
by Budd Kopman
Polish jazz has a long history, and includes many more players than the widely known Tomasz Stanko or Krzysztof Komeda. A deeper, and much earlier influence than American jazz coming to Poland is that of the folk music indigenous to Poland itself. Reedman (saxophones and bass clarinet) Irek Wojtczak, arguably a free player, relates ...
Nilson Matta: EastSideRioDrive
by Dan Bilawsky
Many a bassist is renowned or applauded for the way they serve as ballast in a band, but what of the bassists who go the other way, providing lift instead of weight? There are precious few of them out there, but Nilson Matta is one one of them. Matta, whether working with the collectively-operated Trio Da ...
