Ornette Coleman, 1930-2015
Ornette Coleman, whose forthrightness and conviction helped change the course of jazz, died today in New York. He was 85. To many, the alto saxophonist, composer and bandleader seemed to have come from nowhere, or outer space, when his first albums appeared in the late 1950s. In fact, his style—inevitably called ”iconoclastic” by his early critics, ...
Anders Jormin / Lena Willemark / Karin Nakagawa: Trees of Light
by John Kelman
It's not often that a new recording appears on ECM from Anders Jormin--a bassist who is, perhaps, best-known for his work in fellow Swede Bobo Stenson's ongoing trio, last heard on 2012's superb Indicum (ECM), and for his tenure, alongside Stenson, in Charles Lloyd's career-defining 1990s quartets, collected recently in the Old & New Masters Edition ...
Fresh Cut Orchestra: From the Vine
by Vincenzo Roggero
La Fresh Cut Orchestra è un ensemble di dieci giovani musicisti di stanza a Filadelfia guidato dal trombettista Josh Lawrence (Erykah Badu, Orrin Evans), dal bassista Jason Fraticelli (Mark Guiliana) e dal batterista Anwar Marshall (Kurt Rosenwinkel, Dave Douglas). L'anomalia dei tre leader si riflette in una musica dalle molte sfaccettature come ben evidenziato da “The ...
That Old East Coast-West Coast Thing
Following yesterday’s Rifftides post announcing the Jazz Journalists Association poll winners, vibraphonist Charlie Shoemake commented: Randy Weston has had a long and distinguished career as have many of the other deserving award winners. Just curious, though, if any jazz artists from the west coast have ever been or ever will be recognized. It always seems in ...
Ab Baars Trio & NY Guests: Invisible Blow
by Vic Albani
Questa volta la mettiamo giù come un compitino e la scelta, in casi come questo, credetelo, è ovviamente ironica. Per celebrare i venti anni di attività dello splendido trio di Ab Baars, sassofonista olandese più volte passato anche da queste colonne, il leader decise di festeggiare con un sostanzioso tour di concerti che ...
Pianist Enlargement
by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius
We're celebrating Keith Jarrett's 70th Birthday with the republication of this October 2003 Genius Guide to Jazz article. A recent AAJ poll reveals that if you were to ask the average American to name the most influential living jazz pianist, 89.4% of them would giggle like a schoolgirl because the word “pianist" sounds naughty ...
Harvie S / Sheryl Bailey: Plucky Strum
by Dan Bilawsky
Two musicians, two acoustic string instruments, and ten original works recorded live in the studio with no overdubs, edits, or fixes of any sort. That's Plucky Strum in a nutshell, but that's also unfairly reductive in its explanation of the project. For when the two musicians under discussion are as special and seasoned as bassist Harvie ...
Fiorenzo Bodrato: Travelling without Moving
by Luigi Sforza
Il verbo, il suono delle lettere pronunciate in senso quasi contrario alla loro origine geografica; l'ordine prosaico dei semantemi che si fanno canto, melodia e ritmo; estratti letterari di opere di scrittori classici contemporanei e non che caricano di ulteriore senso sonoro i temi e gli ambienti musicali--questi ultimi discendenti diretti del creativismo improvvisativo degli anni ...
