Trespass Trio: "...was there to illuminate the night sky..."

Read ""...was there to illuminate the night sky..."" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il sassofonista svedese Martin Küchen non è artista che si presti a facili compromessi: sia che soffi come un dannato in qualche quartetto free, sia che esplori le più silenti extended techniques, la sua musica è mossa da una sorta di irrefrenabile necessità del dire, del muovere l'aria, del destare l'ascoltatore da uno stato di passiva ...

John O'Gallagher: Dirty Hands

Read "Dirty Hands" reviewed by David Adler


Saxophonist John O'Gallagher and bassist Masa Kamaguchi have a history. They documented their intense, ruminative interplay on O'Gallagher's two-volume CIMP session of 2004, Rules of Invisibility, featuring Jay Rosen on drums. Dirty Hands, recorded in Portugal during a 2007 European tour, is a continuation of that history, although this time we hear the leader and Kamaguchi ...

Samuel Blaser: Pieces of Old Sky

Read "Pieces of Old Sky" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Pieces of Old Sky could be called furtive jazz. The quartet--trombone, bass, guitar and drums--sneaks around the perimeter of the room, leaving big swaths of space. It sounds as if there are mysteries in this music, secrets in Samuel Blaser's sonic world. Swiss-born trombonist Blaser treads a free jazz territory that is similar in ...

Paul Dunmall Sun Quartet: Ancient and Future Airs

Read "Ancient and Future Airs" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Per un curioso gioco di specchi, di immagini e di significati riflessi, i titoli dei due brani presenti in Ancient and Future Airs ingarbugliano le aspettative degli ascoltatori. Perché il chilometrico (quarantanove minuti) “Ancient Airs" di antico ha ben poco mentre “Future Airs" sembra un tuffo nel passato con le sue cadenze da madrigale. Come a ...

Trespass Trio: "...was there to illuminate the night sky..."

Read ""...was there to illuminate the night sky..."" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


In the album notes to Trespass Trio's “...was there to illuminate the night sky...", saxophonist Martin Kÿchen provides a colorful yet somewhat fragmented essay, regarding the evisceration of society, partly tied into the Iraq war and the everlasting Israel-Palestine conflict. He sets the stage for a life force panorama, iterated through the power of music that ...

Fredrick Nordstrom Quintet: Live in Coimbra

Read "Live in Coimbra" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Tenor sassofonista svedese di grande attitudine, Fredrik Nordstrom non è molto conosciuto e, nonostante alcuni album interessanti usciti per l'etichetta svedese Moserobie, a differenza di alcuni colleghi scandinavi (Gustaffson, Ljungkvist) non ha ancora “sfondato". Da anni collabora intensamente con alcuni tra i più rappresentativi esponenti dell'improvvisazione radicale europea (Broo, Haker-Flaten), membri stabili di Atomic, The Thing ...

Lucky 7's: Pluto Junkyard

Read "Pluto Junkyard" reviewed by Troy Collins


The brainchild of trombonists Jeb Bishop and Jeff Albert, the Lucky 7's are a consummate example of post-Vandermark Chicago-based collectivism. Bishop's longstanding work with fellow artists such as Rob Mazurek, Ted Sirota and Ken Vandermark informs his inside-outside approach, lending a forward thinking but historically aware sensibility to this versatile mid-sized ensemble. A New Orleans native, ...

Flatlands Collective: Maatjes

Read "Maatjes" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Fissare su disco le complicità, le dinamiche, le fluidità, che emergono durante un tour, è pratica che spesso risulta utile alle band - specialmente a quelle che non hanno la possibilità di suonare e provare con continuità - che così possono documentare con la massima attenzione espressiva tutte le sfumature della propria musica. Accade anche al ...

Michael Blake - Kresten Osgood: Control This

Read "Control This" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Control This è il disco che Michael Blake ha realizzato col batterista Kresten Osgood e di cui annunciava l'uscita nella bella intervista di Luca Vitali, pubblicata in settembre [clicca qui per leggerla]. Il sassofonista canadese è ormai un protagonista della scena di New York: iniziò ven'anni fa con i Lounge Lizards di John Lurie per proseguire ...

Denman Maroney Quintet: Udentity

Read "Udentity" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


In this fascinating 2009 release, leader Denman Maroney morphs the avant-garde implications of hyperpiano fare into a semi-structured progressive jazz endeavor with tunes that are largely melodic and uncannily attainable. The artist derives influence from avant-garde composers John Cage and Henry Cowell, who used nuts, bolts and other implements to perform on the piano via unconventional ...
