Troy Dostert's Best Releases of 2019
by Troy Dostert
Is it jazz? Perhaps not in the narrowest sense, but each of the releases below arguably retains enough of a foothold in the tradition to justify that description. Maybe we've finally reached the point where the question no longer matters. In any case, what these artists have in common is a commitment to venturing outward in ...

Lisa Hoppe, Sorey & Crispell, Gebhard Ullman and More
by Maurice Hogue
This episode is very wide-ranging in styles and sounds; the boundaries keep expanding. I was very impressed with bassist Lisa Hoppe's new trio, Third Reality, with saxophonist David Leon and guitarist Tal Yahalom. Very original stuff! It's on a German label—Jazzhausmusik—so do some digging to find it. It's well worth the effort. Drummer, composer and influencer ...

Anna Webber: Clockwise
by Troy Dostert
Although she's a horn player by trade, Anna Webber has always had a fascination with percussion as a basis for her idiosyncratic compositions. With pieces that build in complexity, with rhythms that are continuously reformulated, Webber produces music where a groove is usually present, yet it's typically filtered and recontextualized in surprising ways. Fortunately she's had ...

by Neri Pollastri
Siena Concerti dei Seminari di Siena Jazz 23.7-7.8. 2018 Tra i tanti festival estivi della penisola ce n'è uno --autorevole, ricco di proposte e musicisti --che potremmo tuttavia definire un non festival: Siena Jazz, ovvero i concerti che, per due settimane, ogni sera vedono in scena formazioni composte dai docenti ...
Michael Dessen: Somewhere In The Upstream
by Giuseppe Segala
L'organico di trio con trombone, contrabbasso e batteria non è particolarmente diffuso, ma può annoverare tra gli esempi più significativi la lunga, formidabile esperienza di Bass Drum Bone, in cui Ray Anderson, Mark Helias e Gerry Hemingway hanno scandagliato modalità espressive e dialogiche ad ampio raggio. Il trio guidato dal trombonista e sperimentatore di suoni Michael ...
