Joe Rosenberg - Jean-Luc Guionnet - Mark Helias - Edward Perraud: Do What We Must Do
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ad un avvio molto fluido e regolare del brano d'apertura dove i sax di Joe Rosenberg e del poliedrico artista Jean-Luc Guionnet corrono e scivolano con suoni legati sopra un tappeto ritmico levigato, ma denso, seguono immediatamente altri componimenti caratterizzati da voci frantumate con frasi che si compenetrano, voci che peregrinano lungo percorsi casuali sorretti su ...
David Haney Trio: The Music
by Derek Taylor
David Haney has a talent for concocting recondite tune titles. The five-part “Pteradactyl Lunchbox cycle on the pianist's debut CIMP session is only one reflection of a remarkable intellect that revels in both humor and hand-spun absurdism. The disc's title is another, distilling its contents down to a most basic signifier and eschewing any sort of ...
Lucian Ban & Alex Harding: Tuba Project
by Derek Taylor
Several years have elapsed since Lucian Ban and Alex Harding's last CIMP collaboration, but their artistic rapport has only deepened in the interim. Their latest project carries a signifier that stresses the novelty of the instrumentation. The duo dispenses with string bass completely. In its stead, Bob Stewarts' bulbous, bell-shaped horn sits as co-resident of the ...
Joe McPhee / Matthew Shipp / Dominic Duvall: In Finland
by Rex Butters
With its beautiful sound, In Finland captures three master improvisers live and spinnin' takes. Longtime fans of Matthew Shipp who miss his prolonged flights into thundering, gothic creations: this is your fix. With two tracks hovering around the thirty-minute mark, the performances allow Shipp room to stretch and flex. Joe McPhee sticks mainly to a rich-toned ...
Lucian Ban / Alex Harding: The Tuba Project
by Jeff Stockton
Lucian Ban (piano) and Alex Harding (baritone saxophone) have previously recorded for CIMP as a duet (Something Holy) and as part of a quintet (Premonition), as well as on the recently released quartet disc The Calling (Jazzaway). As for The Tuba Project, the title tells the tale. The quintet centers around Bob Stewart's burping tuba bass ...
Prince Lasha & Odean Pope Trio: The Mystery of Prince Lasha
by AAJ Italy Staff
Si erano un po' perse le tracce di Prince Lasha, il versatile polistrumentista texano che molti ricorderanno a fianco di Sonny Simmons o Eric Dolphy, oltre che in un memorabile disco Impulse! a nome di Elvin Jones e Jimmy Garrison, Illumination! Come ci spiegano diligentemente le note di copertina in questi anni il nostro è stato ...
Lucian Ban and Alex Harding: The Tuba Project
by Budd Kopman
With The Tuba Project, Lucian Ban and Alex Harding have put together a raucous, bluesy, energetic, and at times ecstatic album. Drawing from deep roots in jazz and Afro-American music, these musicians play with a contagious abandon. The CIMP recording technique, which takes great care in capturing the sound of the band live ...
Bobby Few & Avram Fefer Quartet: Sanctuary
by Derek Taylor
A misplaced piano, a dropped soprano and an aurally-intrusive air-conditioning system all conspired to derail this CIMP session by the jointly-led Few-Fefer Quartet. Fortunately, cool heads prevailed and the music persevered. The co-leaders' associations go back to the mid-1990s in Paris, though audio evidence of their collaborations proved slow in surfacing. Boxholder stepped into fill the ...
Ernie Krivda Quintet: Stellar Sax
by Derek Taylor
In lesser hands the title of this new CIMP release might seem both pompous and presumptuous, but not so when the mantle applies to Ernie Krivda. The Cleveland-based saxophonist has been in the game going on four decades, time enough to sharpen chops on his horn that easily justify the aggrandizing appellation. Narrowing his set of ...
Adam Lane Trio: Music Degree Zero
by Derek Taylor
Presenting the balance of a two-day session that yielded the slightly differently titled Zero Degree Music, bassist Adam Lane's latest disc picks up where its predecessor left off. The earlier effort garnered nearly unanimous acclaim last year amongst listeners and critics who heard it. This second plateful upholds the same standards of collective creativity and uncompromising ...
