Sten Sandell & Mattias Stahl: Grann Musik (neighbor music)
by Glenn Astarita
Master Swedish improvisers, pianist Sten Sandell and vibraphonist Mattias Stahl, radiate gobs of colorific contrasts via these freeform-based duets. At times fluid, introspective and somewhat jagged in scope, the artists pursue the art of intuitive music-speak during the prevalence of this 2008 outing. On “ Sjöfortet," Sandell executes cascading block chords with the semblance of a ...
Empty Cage Quartet: Stratostrophic
by AAJ Italy Staff
I riferimenti più immediati vanno a Ornette Coleman. Sin troppo ovvio: basta leggere la formazione che rimanda all’epocale e classico quartetto sax alto-tromba-contrabbasso-batteria. Ma questo notevole combo di giovanissimi musicisti provenienti da diversi luoghi degli States, e che gravitano (o hanno gravitato a lungo) attorno all’area californiana, non si limita alla celebrazione o alla riproposizione di ...
Luis Lopes: Humanization 4tet
by Mark Corroto
Another treasure trove of music is to be found in Clean Feed recording artist Luis Lopes. The guitarist's first recording even surprised label chief Pedro Costa as he artfully explains in the liner notes. Who knew? Like so many of Clean Feed's discs, American listeners discover new sounds and new musicians with nearly every ...
Anthony Braxton/Joe Morris: Four Improvisations (Duo) 2007
by Martin Longley
Braxton band members Mary Halvorson and Taylor Ho Bynum urged their leader to collaborate with guitarist Joe Morris and, following a booking at the Crowe Auditorium, Wesleyan University, the twosome proceeded to immerse themselves completely. Braxton was impressed by the results and decided that only a four-disc box set would suffice. Fortunately, Clean Feed is a ...
Jason Stein: A Calculus of Loss
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se si eccettua “That’s Not a Closet“, brano strutturato, riconoscibile, identificabile con alcuni canonici estetici della musica afroamericana, A Calculus of Loss si può considerare una sorta di work in progress su sculture sonore. Perché le improvvisazioni del trio sono sfuggenti, deformate e deformabili, in perpetua ed istantanea evoluzione. Sono sufficienti un fremito percussivo, una vibrazione ...
Elliott Sharp: Octal - Book One
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo album firmato dal chitarrista sperimentale Elliott Sharp concentra il lavoro esecutivo su uno strumento a otto corde costruito dal liutaio Saul Koll che prevede le sei corde tradizionali della chitarra aumentate da due corde sul versante dei bassi. L’accordatura è assolutamente standard per quanto riguarda la parte mutuata dalla chitarra e conseguentemente le due corde ...
Steve Lehman Quartet: Manifold
by Stuart Broomer
In just a few years, Steve Lehman has established a remarkable track record as a saxophonist, bandleader and composer. This quartet recording is drawn from performances recorded in 2007 in Coimbra, a small city in central Portugal. Contemporaneous with the quintet recording On Meaning (Pi, 2007), Manifold is a slightly looser ensemble, with more emphasis on ...
Empty Cage Quartet: Stratostrophic
by Troy Collins
Stratostrophic is the Empty Cage Quartet's third official studio album. Formerly known as the MTKJ Quartet, the adventurous young West Coast-based ensemble features Tim Mears (alto saxophone, clarinet), Kris Tiner (trumpet, flugelhorn), Ivan Johnson (bass) and Paul Kikuchi (drums, percussion). A cohesive mix of exuberant free jazz, angular post-bop, stark chamber aesthetics and propulsive post- Braxtonian ...
MI3 - Pandelis Karayorgis, Nate McBride, Curt Newton: Free Advice
by AAJ Italy Staff
MI3 è una formazione nata a Boston, costituita da due dei componenti del “Boston trio” di Ken Vandermark (contrabbasso e batteria) e dal pianista Karayorgis (di origini greche). Free Advice, loro secondo album, esce come il precedente per l’etichetta portoghese Clean Feed, e già dal titolo denuncia l’ambito nel quale si muove: “free” o “New Thing”. ...
Scott Fields: Bitter Love Songs
by Clifford Allen
The Freetet is ostensibly Cologne-based guitarist Scott Fields' “traditional blowing vehicle," and Bitter Love Songs is his first in the guitar-bass-drums format since Mamet (Delmark, 2001), with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Michael Zerang. On Bitter Love Songs, he's joined by German bassist Sebastian Gramss and Portuguese drummer Joao Lobo. What makes this date a semi- ...
