Various Artists: Six Degrees Records' Psychedelic Planet
by Chris M. Slawecki
Comprising new remixes of recent tunes from the label's catalog, Six Degrees Records' Psychedelic Planet colorfully spins and orbits around its electronic global beat. Psychedelic Planet seems to offer as many different styles and sounds as there are stars in the sky. Jef Stott's ethereal horn floats through the murky “White Tara (Vlastur Remix)" ...
Adam Lane's Full Throttle Orchestra: Live in Ljubljana
by Vincenzo Roggero
Ljubljana Jazz Series è l'ennesima idea vincente di Pedro Costa che arricchisce il già eccellente catalogo Clean Feed con una serie di registrazioni live effettuate durante il prestigioso festival d'inizio estate che anima la graziosa capitale slovena, rassegna con la quale l'etichetta portoghese ha da qualche anno inaugurato una proficua partnership. L'ensemble in ...
Amy Kohn: Plexilusso
by Angelo Leonardi
Nel panorama delle musiche di confine, tra rock, jazz e sperimentazione, Amy Kohn si presenta con una ricca e spiccata personalità. È un'artista visionaria che canta, suona pianoforte e fisarmonica, compone e scrive arrangiamenti complessi dove confluiscono riferimenti quanto mai ampi e suggestivi. Da un lato verrebbe di collocarla nell'ambito del vocalismo creativo ma Amy non ...
Joe Sample & the NDR Big Band Orchestra: Children of the Sun
by Jack Bowers
Toward the end of his remarkable career, the late pianist Joe Sample (he died on September 12, 2014) traveled to Hamburg, Germany, to record Children of the Sun, a suite of his own music, with the splendid NDR Big Band. The eleven compositions were inspired by Sample's appearance at the 1995 St. Croix Jazz Festival, where ...
Steve Lehman: Mise en Abîme
by Hrayr Attarian
Saxophonist Steve Lehman's 12th release as a leader/co-leader and his second one with an octet Mise en Abime is a cohesive work of intriguingly cerebral and dramatic nature. Like the title implies there are concepts that repeat, amplify and fade in the process of constructing and deconstructing the main themes of the album. On ...
Kosi: Pictures of Us
by Tyran Grillo
Following her solo debut, One More Cup of Coffee, New York singer Kosi surrounds herself with a full band, armed with a fresh set of originals (plus a couple of standards), ready to take on the world. Whereas that first album featured only guitar and voice, now we encounter trumpet, bass, drums, and tenor saxophone from ...
Troker: Crimen Sonoro
by Chris M. Slawecki
It's curious how the exact same things that attract one person to music will repel another. For example, I'm at my friend Mike's birthday party and we start talking about music we're listening to, and I bring up Crimen Sonoro, the new release by Troker, which my wife and I listened to in the car driving ...
Evan Parker, Barry Guy, Paul Lytton: Live at Maya Recordings Festival
by Giuseppe Segala
Ci sono musicisti che indagano per tutta la loro vicenda artistica la stessa musica. Lo fanno con assoluta convinzione, concentrazione sugli obiettivi (estetici, tecnici, espressivi), con ampia varietà di dettagli e comunque all'interno di un quadro globale di sviluppo dove non mancano le sorprese, le digressioni, le smentite seppur coerenti. Forse i grandi artisti hanno sempre ...
Mike Marshall & Chorro Famoso: Segunda Vez
by Maurizio Zerbo
Questo è il CD giusto per chi volesse ascoltare qualcosa di diverso rispetto al solito Brasile da cartolina. Niente samba jazz o bossa nova, solo la grande quanto semisconosciuta tradizione del choro che affonda le sue gloriose radici alla fine dell'800. C'è tanta passione in questo recupero filologico di un ammaliante genere musicale, ...
Jack Mouse & Scott Robinson: Snakeheads & Ladybugs
by Jack Bowers
Jack Mouse plays drums; Scott Robinson plays almost everything else. So even though the word “duets" is (properly) used to describe their two-part collaboration on Snakeheads & Ladybugs, the album's concept and resolution go far beyond that. For example, there are no written compositions here, simply perceptive and spontaneous improvisation between two inordinately accomplished musicians. Free ...
