Ivo Perelman Trio: Black on White
by AAJ Staff
By Ken Waxman Ivo Perelman's nine harsh, uncompromising improvisations starkly reduce the playing field to black and white. The tenor saxophonist is seconded on Black and White by a team that was Cecil Taylor's rhythm section at the time, although New York-based bassist Dominic Duval and drummer Jackson Krall have also worked with nearly every committed ...
Michael Blake Trio: Right Before Your Very Ears
by Germein Linares
The opening tune and the manic, anguished cover aside, there's nothing to fear on Michael Blake's Right Before Your Very Ears. The album's contents are delightful, creative adventures in jazz, with saxophonist Blake, bassist Ben Allison and drummer Jeff Ballard conjuring the strength and imagination of a much larger outfit. Most of Right Before Your Very ...
Joe Morris: Beautiful Existence
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il chitarrista Joe Morris continua a tenere alta la bandiera del free jazz anche nell’ambito dello strumento che forse meno si è caratterizzato e manifestato in quella corrente così importante della nuova musica. L'approccio di Morris è in qualche modo poco modernista (non usa effetti particolari, non fa ricorso a scenari elettronici, sta di solito all’interno ...
Joe Fiedler: Plays the Music of Albert Mangelsdorff
by Andrey Henkin
If ever there was evidence of a prejudice against European jazz players, it is the fact that trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff (1928-2005) never before had a tribute album done in his honor. Even more damning is research showing that his compositions--over a hundred--have never been played without him. Trombonist Joe Fiedler has ended this ...
Michael Attias: Credo
by Francis Lo Kee
Saxophonist Michael Attias has played a bunch of gigs as a sideman with some well known musicians over the years, but recently he has started to make releases as a leader. His singular effort Credo, recorded in 1999, is finally seeing the light of day. The music has a joyous positive energy from ...
Transit: Transit
by Troy Collins
A varied session with roots in cerebral European improvisation, AACM-inspired sound experimentation and New Thing-era ferocity, Transit's self-titled debut demonstrates expert communication, the key to any successful cooperative venture. Although organized by percussionist Jeff Arnal, the members of the quartet share writing credits, relying on collective improvisation as their principle strategy. Though Transit's music is rooted ...
Joe Morris: Beautiful Existence
by Troy Collins
Although guitarist Joe Morris has proven himself to be an accomplished upright bassist since adding the instrument to his arsenal in 2001, it is on the guitar that he truly shines, and nowhere more so than on Beautiful Existence. Temporarily setting aside his recently adopted instrument for his first axe, Morris leads his quartet ...
Transit: Transit
by AAJ Italy Staff
Benché sia sostanzialmente un progetto unitario (tutte le composizioni sono a nome del quartetto) Transit, album pubblicato dalla intraprendente etichetta portoghese Clean Feed, può essere attribuito alla mente fervida di Jeff Arnal, batterista in prima linea sulla scena improvvisativa dell'avanguardia statunitense. E la sua dimestichezza con i lavori di grandi coreografi e con le cadenze del ...
Bernardo Sassetti Trio2: Ascent
by AAJ Italy Staff
Davvero niente male questo Trio2 (ovvero un doppio trio) del pianista portoghese Bernardo Sassetti. Un pianista che ha il suo baricentro estetico saldamente ancorato in Europa. L'Europa di Federico Mompou, dei canti popolari iberici (sia spagnoli che portoghesi), ma anche l'Europa del jazz nordico di marca ECM. Senza le algide distanze di un musicista come Bobo ...
