Pianist Kris Davis, saxophonist Jon Irabagon, bassist Reuben Radding and drummer Jeff Davis are bandleaders at the forefront of a new Brooklyn scene, one which subtly incorporates the vagaries of myriad genres and styles into new avenues for exploration. Consisting ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Guewel

Read "Guewel" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Drummer Harris Eisenstadt's recording, Guewel, isn't jazz. That is to say, it isn't jazz in the American sense of the word but, rather, jazz in the West African musical tradition. Eisenstadt, a Canadian-born New Yorker, is a student of the art of drumming. His two trips to Gambia and Senegal inspire this recording and his previous ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Guewel

Read "Guewel" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

Canadian-born, Brooklyn-based drummer Harris Eisenstadt has quickly become an essential part of the East Coast jazz scene since his return from the West Coast in 2005. In addition to numerous collaborative projects, he has spent a great deal of time abroad, studying traditional West African griot rhythms in Gambia and Senegal. Loosely translated as 'musician' in ...

Kirk Knuffke Quartet: Bigwig

Read "Bigwig" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Davvero un esordio discografico notevole e significativo per il giovane Knuffke, trombettista originario di Detroit ma ormai da tre anni stabile a New York dove ha collaborato, tra gli altri, con Dave Douglas, con John Zorn, con varie orchestre di Butch Morris e con il gruppo del batterista Kenny Wollesen. Incuriosisce innanzitutto la formazione: un quartetto ...

Conference Call: Poetry In Motion

Read "Poetry In Motion" reviewed by Budd Kopman

by Budd Kopman

The creation of a work of art is an act of the mind that controls and shapes the medium's components in order to project the artist's sense of life and elicit a reaction from the consumer. In its highest forms, jazz might sound instinctive, but the reality is that years of practice have pushed ...

Adam Lane - Lou Grassi - Mark Whitecage: Drunk Butterfly

Read "Drunk Butterfly" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Non fatevi ingannare dalle traiettorie bizzarre tracciate dalla farfalla ubriaca disegnata sulla copertina! Drunk Butterfly (bel titolo) è disco lucidissimo nella sua progettazione e nella sua messa in opera, ricca di sfaccettature e di apparenti incongruenze, è vero, ma assai rigorosa nella sua unitarietà d’intenti. Che è quella di esaltare lo spirito libertario e improvvisativo della ...

Elliott Sharp - Scott Fields: Sharfefelder

Read "Sharfefelder" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

I percorsi dei due chitarristi d’avanguardia Elliott Sharp e Scott Fields sono piuttosto differenti, anche se indubbiamente si possono trovare alcuni punti in comune. Sharp è una delle espressioni più importanti e coerenti della scena downtown newyorkese e mette assieme progetti di amplissimo spettro che lo vedono passare dal blues arcaico rivisitato alla sperimentazione più radicale. ...

Carlos "Zingaro" - Dominique Regef - Wilbert DeJoode: Spectrum

Read "Spectrum" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Ogni volta che in un CD troviamo brani a firma congiunta siamo spinti a pensare che si tratti di improvvisazione collettiva e radicale. In realtà soltanto un colloquio coi musicisti o note di copertina particolarmente precise potrebbero confortarci nella nostra supposizione, escludendo il dubbio che ci sia stata un qualche accordo fra i musicisti prima dell'esibizione: ...

Mark Dresser - Ed Harkins - Steven Schick: House of Mirrors

Read "House of Mirrors" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Pensato inizialmente come un duo tra Mark Dresser e Ed Harkins, il progetto House of Mirrors è stato poi realizzato in trio con l’aggiunta del percussionista Steven Schick. Scelta quanto mai vincente perché il frullare delle percussioni, le macchie timbriche, il pulviscolo ritmico di Schick tolgono la registrazione dalle secche di un jazz eccessivamente cameristico. Pur ...
