Chris Dahlgren & Lexicon: Mystic Maze
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il bassista newyorkese Chris Dahlgren mette assieme un bel quintetto denominato Lexicon e si avventura in territori piuttosto inconsueti che mettono in risalto la dimensione anche caricaturale della musica.

Chris Dahlgren: Best Intentions
by David Adler
Bassist Chris Dahlgren, an important voice on the New York downtown avant-garde scene, has exhibited a flair for unusual ensemble configurations on his previous releases. On Best Intentions, his third outing as a leader, percussionist Satoshi Takeishi’s grooves and timbres give the music a rather exotic flavor; a conventional drum set would not have done the ...
