Dino Rubino: Kairòs
by Luigi Sforza
Ci sono opere che sembrano esattamente ciò che sono già al primo impatto. Per loro natura si mostrano chiaramente. Si rendono leggibili con piacere e senza ombre. Spiazzano per la loro spontanea e semplice bellezza. Kairòs -terzo disco da leader del pianista ma anche trombettista e compositore siciliano Dino Rubino-è un progetto godibile e ...
Francesco Nurra: Diario di un pazzo
by Libero Farnè
Cosa può contenere il diario di un pazzo? Di tutto, mescolato in modo dialettico o schizofrenico: ossessioni ripetitive, malinconiche introversioni, paranoie, senso di onnipotenza, visioni mistiche, analisi pseudo-oggettive, declamazioni pompose, esausti ripiegamenti nell'inconscio, disperate richieste d'aiuto, espressioni di autoesaltazione o di autolesionismo... Tutti questi atteggiamenti trovano una traduzione musicale nel disco del sassarese Francesco Nurra.
Levin Brothers: Levin Brothers
by John Kelman
He may have ultimately become best-known in the progressive rock world for his ongoing work with King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Stick Men and the Crimson ProjeKct, but 68 year-old bassist and stick player Tony Levin has no shortage of jazz credentials, playing with everyone from Gary Burton and Mike Mainieri to Chuck Mangione and Buddy Rich ...
Peter Brotzmann/John Edwards/Steve Noble: Soulfood Available
by Mark Corroto
Listeners often ask where to begin listening to the music of Peter Brotzmann. Recording for nearly 50 years (yes, five-0), he has amassed a discography that totals nearly 300 recordings. Do you start back in the Machine Gun days and his work with FMP, fast forward to Material and Last Exit or his grand projects, the ...
Hank Marvin Gypsy Jazz: Django's Castle
by Tyran Grillo
The name Hank Marvin may not be as internationally well known as those he's influenced (Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Mark Knopfler, to name a few), but intimations of his characteristic vibrato have emanated from many a six-string since he first backed Cliff Richard with his band the Shadows in the late 1950s. Marvin has enjoyed ...
Wil Blades: Field Notes
by Chris M. Slawecki
It's good to know that no matter how many things change around us, there's still nothing that kicks out the jams like a good old school B-3 organ, guitar and drum trio. Wil Blades provides an excellent case study in groove. Throughout the past fifteen years, this B-3 bombardier has worked with blues and ...
Peter Brotzmann, Sonny Sharrock: WHATTHEFUCKDOYOUWANT
by AAJ Staff
Si aprano le porte dell'inferno! L'ottima Trost Records convince Peter Brotzmann a ripescare nei propri archivi questo bruciante set del 1987 in duo con la chitarra di Sonny Sharrock; unico precedente della detonante coppia, il vinile Fragments per la Okkadisk, che però è registrato un paio di anni più tardi e uscito nel 2003. ...
Pixel: We Are Small Pixels
by Vincenzo Roggero
Vengono dalla Norvegia, sono giovanissimi benché abbiano già alle spalle un apprezzato album di debutto, sono guidati dalla contrabbassista e cantante Ellen Andrea Wang, propongono una musica difficile da catalogare. Un mix, questo, che si presenta particolarmente intrigante per un album che soddisfa pienamente la nostra curiosità. Pixel è quartetto piano-less con sax ...
Akira Sakata, Giovanni Di Domenico, John Edwards, Steve Noble: Live at Cafe Oto
by John Eyles
Recorded in concert at London's Cafe Oto in January 2014, this album features the kind of cosmopolitan ensemble in which the venue specialises. It brings together veteran Japanese reedsman Akira Sataka and Spanish pianist Giovanni Di Domenico with London's own John Edwards and Steve Noble. The latter pair have virtually become the house bassist and drummer ...
Kid Millions & Jim Sauter: Fountain
by Mark Corroto
Fountain, the duo by Jim Sauter and Kid Millions, could easily be mistaken for the work of noise artist Merzbow and Hungarian drummer Balázs Pándi, Japanese guitarist Keiji Haino and Rashied Ali, or guitarist Ed Ricart and Chicago drummer Tim Daisy. Sauter of the infamous free jazz noise band Borbetomagus creates sound often mistaken for guitar ...
