John Russell / Ståle Liavik Solberg: No Step
by Eyal Hareuveni
The duo of British guitarist John Russell, an important figure of the London free improvisation scene since the seventies, and Norwegian drummer Ståle Liavik Solberg, a central figure in Oslo's thriving improvised music scene in recent years is a working unit. The two not only perform together as a duo, but over the last two years ...
Thomas Heberer, Achim Kaufmann: Knoten
by Alberto Bazzurro
Inciso a Berlino a fine 2011, Knoten ci ripropone uno dei musicisti più interessanti della nuova scena jazzistica europea, Thomas Heberer, qui in duo col piano (anche preparato) di Achim Kaufmann, magari poco noto dalle nostre parti, ma che vanta pur sempre collaborazioni con Han Bennink, Mark Dresser, George Lewis, Steve Swallow, Paul Rutherford, Tomász Stanko, ...
Stefano D'Anna: Soundscape
by Luigi Sforza
La nuova etichetta S'Ard music aggiunge con Suondscape, disco pregevole e ricercato, a nome dello Stefano D'Anna Quartet, un altro interessante capitolo al proprio catalogo. Attorno al suono liquido, caldo, controllato e amabilmente swingante del sassofono di Stefano D'Anna si realizzano sette convincenti e appassionate tracce. I temi sono incisivi ...
Ben Sidran: Don't Cry for No Hipster
by Luca Muchetti
'Stile' è il primo sostantivo che viene facile utilizzare per descrivere la musica di Ben Sidran. Nome notissimo nella scena americana, cantante, pianista, compositore e fine conoscitore della musica in toto (evitiamo di utilizzare l'etichetta 'jazz' memori anche del non troppo lontano album in tributo a Bob Dylan), con Don't Cry for no Hipster Sidran torna ...
Quentin Moore: You Forgot Your Heart
by Chris M. Slawecki
Continuing the pattern of his self-produced debut Vintage Love (2009) and Quentinized (Mixtape) (2011), Quentin Moore wrote, sang most vocals, played most instruments, and recorded and produced You Forgot Your Heart himself, from the heart. “With this project, I wanted to offer something organic to listeners, while maintaining that core soul sound," Moore suggests. “I like ...
Let Spin: Let Spin
by Roger Farbey
This eponymously titled album emanates from a new and exciting British band, which although the brainchild of its guitarist Moss Freed, is not actually his band as such, in that there is no formal leader and each of the quartet share equal composing duties. Freed has already made two fine albums under his own name (under ...
1032K: That Which Is Planted
by Hrayr Attarian
The intrepid and original trio 1032K (the temperature at which the laws of physics no longer apply) is comprised of three versatile and singularly artful musicians who share a common creative vision. Their phenomenal That Which is Planted is a stimulating glimpse at this collaboration recorded live in Buffalo and Rochester, New York. The group radically ...
Colin Edwin - Lorenzo Feliciati: Twinscapes
by Glenn Astarita
Bassists Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and Lorenzo Feliciati (Naked Truth, Beserk!) and several prominent guest artists venture towards the constellations via these bass-driven jaunts, shaded with streaming electronics, firm backbeats, and wraithlike soundscapes. Shortly after the first listen, I detected a kinship to bassist/producer Bill Laswell's early, bass- heavy ambient electronica outings and soon noticed that ...
Daunik Lazro / Joëlle Léandre: Hasparren
by Eyal Hareuveni
French baritone saxophonist Daunik Lazro and double bass master Joëlle Léandre began to collaborate almost thirty years ago. This collaboration has yielded one trio recording, Sweet Zee (Hathut, 1984 with trombonist George Lewis), two quartet recordings, Paris Quartet (IIntakt, 1989, with pianist Irène Schweizer, and trombonist Yves Robert, and Madly you (Potlatch, 2002, with violinist Carlos ...
Tal National: Kaani
by AAJ Staff
Cosa sappiamo del Niger? Così, su, senza andare a consultare Google e Wikipedia. Pochino eh... È una grande nazione, una specie di cuore tra deserto e savana, confinante con stati e culture davvero variegate, dall'Algeria al Mali, dalla Nigeria al Burkina Faso, dal Benin alla Libia, solcata dal fiume ...
