John Hollenbeck / Alban Darche / Sébastien Boisseau / Samuel Blaser: Jass
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo il debutto nel luglio 2011 al festival di Berlino, il collettivo franco-svizzero-statunitense presenta la prima incisione, il cui titolo ha un duplice (e addirittura triplice) significato: è un acronimo formato dalle prime lettere dei quattro nomi protagonisti, si collega al nome arcaico di questa musica e indica un gioco di carte (detto anche Chibre) molto ...
Alban Darche L'Orphicube: Perception instantanée
by Alberto Bazzurro
Col medesimo organico che nel 2013 aveva dato alle stampe l'album omonimo, l'Orphicube capitanato dal vorace sassofonista e compositore Alban Darche confeziona un seguito, che tiene dietro alle positività, nonché a qualche limite prospettico, che quel lavoro aveva suggerito. L'intenzione è sempre quella di “inventare un folklore immaginario in cui si mischiano jazz, ...
Andrew Rathbun: Numbers & Letters
by Dan McClenaghan
Toronto-born saxophonist/composer Andrew Rathbun is no stranger to pushing the boundaries. He has released a dozen superb modernistic CDs under his own name, perhaps most notable of these his nod to his fellow Canadian, writer Margaret Atwood, Sculptures (Blue Moon, 2002), and 2009's and Where We Are Now (Steeplechase Records). Rathbun, on all of his previous ...

Alan Chan Jazz Orchestra: Shrimp Tale
by Dan Bilawsky
Light flourishes, grand pronouncements, fleeting and flitting figures, sudden shifts in mood, and wide emotional arcs are part and parcel of the music created by the Alan Chan Jazz Orchestra. Chan, a classically trained pianist who came up in Hong Kong, hopped all over the United States while honing his writing skills. He ...
Jan Sturiale: Electric Water
by Marta Ramon
Jan Sturiale returned to the studio with a new quintet formation. Recorded at Tritone Studios, in Los Angeles, this is Sturiale's most international work, as much in the recording locations as in the musicians (and the featured vocalist) which shape his quintet. In this record, Electric Water (Drawtheline Records, 2014), he keeps developing his compositional language ...
François Tusques / Alexandra Grimal / Sylvain Guérineau: La Jungle du Douanier Rousseau
by Eyal Hareuveni
This ad-hoc French trio brings tenor saxophone players and free improvisers--Sylvain Guérineau, who is also a gifted painter, and Alexandra Grimal to the musical universe of veteran pianist Francois Tusques, who began to play jazz in post-war France and was a close associate of expatriate Americans like Don Cherry and The Art Ensemble of Chicago during ...
Nils Petter Molvær: Switch
by Alberto Bazzurro
A tre anni dal precedente Baboon Moon, ecco ripresentarsi il cinquantatreenne trombettista norvegese con uno dei suoi album certamente più interessanti e riusciti. L'avvio sembra ripercorrere in verità stilemi già ampiamente noti, di una fascinosa staticità, ma fin dal secondo brano, “The Kit," qualcosa muta. La ritmica si fa più viva, pulsante, a squadernare un ventaglio ...
Jamie Saft, Steve Swallow, Bobby Previte: The New Standard
by Vincenzo Roggero
Tre personalità assai differenti sia dal punto di vista generazionale che artistico accomunate dal medesimo spirito curioso e dal gusto per la sfida come Jamie Saft, Steve Swallow e Bobby Previte si danno appuntamento nello studio di registrazione di Saft e tre ore dopo scodellano questo The New Standard. Buona la prima, nessuna ...
Michael Dease: Relentless
by Dan Bilawsky
While rising star trombonist Michael Dease's previous albums have all been small group affairs, much of his sideman work has marked him as something of a large ensemble specialist. He's put his slide to good use in numerous big bands and jazz orchestras, including those led by Christian McBride, Charles Tolliver, Roy Hargrove, Rufus Reid, and ...
