Kullhammar - Aalberg - Zetterberg: Basement Sessions Vol. 2
by Maurizio Zerbo
La pesante ombra dell'eredità coltraniana si insinua nelle trame di questo disco, per quel che riguarda il sound ed il linguaggio proposto. Il trio svedese rivela però una personalità che va oltre il modello di riferimento, grazie ad una tessitura fluida ed volatile. Fra i musicisti si è instaurato un rapporto di intesa molto profondo e ...
Tomoko Omura: Roots
by Dan Bilawsky

Jon Hassell: Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Musics
by Nenad Georgievski
Some records can be easily identified and defined by the time and the place of their creation, but Jon Hassell's records appear to have a different and opposite effect. His record Possible Musics doesn't give the impression of coming from a certain place, but rather from many places. And this collage approach where he mixed and ...
Jon Hassell - Brian Eno: Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics
.jpg)
by AAJ Staff
La Glitterbeat ristampa un classico come Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics della coppia Jon Hassell e Brian Eno. Correva l'anno 1980 e la complessa ricerca del trombettista americano incontrava l'obliquità del musicista inglese, in trasferta a New York. Musica etnica, ambient, minimalismo, elettronica si incontrano e scontrano in questa musica, fascinosa ...
Paul Shapiro: Shofarot Verses
by Alberto Bazzurro
Nel nome dello shofar, strumento-simbolo della musica ebraica che compare in copertina intrecciato a un sax alto, si svolge questo album, che parte con un monologo di Paul Shapiro e va poi a impantanarsi piuttosto velocemente nelle secche di una musica che rispetta sì i canoni del filone di appartenenza, ma lo fa con fin troppa ...
Peter Apfelbaum's Sparkler: I Colored It In For You
by Dan Bilawsky
I Colored It In For You is such a tease. Broad-minded multi-instrumentalist Peter Apfelbaum uses this brief EP--the two-part title track and a remix from M.O.D. co-founder Bill Laswell are it--to introduces a sui generis small group known as Sparkler. Apfelbaum, covering vocals, keys, saxophones, and percussion, teams up with rising star trombonist/vocalist ...
Vivian Buczek: Curiosity
by Bruce Lindsay
Vivian Buczek is blessed with a glorious voice--warm, emotional, engaging--and a talent for sophisticated interpretations of established but not over-worked songs. Curiosity, the Swedish singer's fifth album, places her in the company of a piano trio led by the excellent pianist and arranger Martin Sjöstedt. It's company she clearly relishes and in which she shines brightly.
Xiomara Laugart: Tears And Rumba
by James Nadal
Despite over fifty years of political turmoil leading to a ludicrous embargo, the music of Cuba has thrived and is as vibrant as ever. Though many premier Cuban artists have gone into cultural exile in America and abroad, they continue to seek inspiration from and expand upon the music of their homeland, continually performing it around ...
