Hristo Vitchev / Liubomia Krastev: Rhodopa
by Jakob Baekgaard
While jazz as an art form always moves forward, it is also tied to tradition and the music of the past. Many jazz musicians with European ties have found inspiration in the folk music of their country: Jan Johansson's Jazz på svenska, Dag Arnesen's Norwegian Song 1-3 and Sunna Gunnlaugs Songs from Iceland are some of ...

Mars Williams/Ingebrigt Haker-Flåten/Tim Daisy: Moments Form
by Mark Corroto
The secret recipe for a great free jazz recording is to develop and maintain the energy systems of your particular ensemble. The ingredients are, of course, first class improvisers and most importantly those musicians must be willing to collaborate. The recipe seems obvious, but quite often the sum of the parts, when creating music ...
The Claudia Quintet: September
by AAJ Italy Staff
Pregi e limiti di un gruppo che al suo apparire aveva destato non poca curiosità trovano puntuale, ulteriore conferma in questo nuovo lavoro del quintetto capitanato da John Hellenbeck (tutto suo, come di consueto, il materiale tematico): da un lato una spiccata identità, dall'altro un calligrafismo, una “scheletricità emotiva" che rendono la musica fin troppo algida, ...
Hristo Vitchev and Liubomir Krastev: Rhodopa
by Eyal Hareuveni
Bulganin modern jazz guitarist Hristo Vitchev resides in the Bay Area and alternates between a variety of jazz formations. On Rhodopa, which is a mountainous region in Bulgaria (named after the character from the Greek mythology known also as Hera, sister of Zeus) he teams with clarinetist Liubomir Krastev who shares with him Bulgarian roots on ...
Svein Gjermundrød: Kitten on the Funkies
by Jakob Baekgaard
The famous folk singer Pete Seeger has once stated that he doesn't listen to recorded music. This underlines the fact that it is actually possible to live a life in music without recording. However, the ghost of recording will often come back to haunt a musician and it is no secret that Seeger has recorded plenty ...
Nate Wooley - C. Spencer Yeh - Audrey Chen - Todd Carter: NCAT
by AAJ Italy Staff
In una residenza creativa allo STEIM di Amsterdam si incontrano la tromba di Nate Wooley, il violino di C. Spencer Yeh e il violoncello di Audrey Chen: sono musicisti che praticano in modo coerente e convinto i linguaggi dell'improvvisazione, sia sul lato più prettamente jazzistico che su quello più legato alle avanguardie di matrice contemporanea. Non ...
Tony Oxley: A Birthday Tribute--75 Years
by John Eyles
As its title indicates, this album was released to mark the occasion of drummer Tony Oxley's seventy-fifth birthday (which occurred on June 15 2013.) Fittingly, it is released on Incus, the ground-breaking label that Oxley established in 1970 with Derek Bailey and Evan Parker, frequently cited as “the first independent musician-run record label in Britain" (just ...

Jessica Jones - Mark Taylor: Live at the Freight
by AAJ Italy Staff
Una formazione con il corno francese ci fa inevitabilmente tornare in mente John Graas, specialista di questo strumento rarissimo nel jazz e musicista che ha lasciato pochissimi eredi dopo la morte, avvenuta per infarto nel 1962, quando aveva solo trentotto anni. Tra i suoi continuatori c'è sicuramente Mark Taylor che in questo live dimostra una spiccata ...
