Twenty One 4Tet: Live At Zaal 100
by Mark Corroto
I'm assuming that the Twenty One 4Tet recording Live At Zaal was conceived as a one-off deal, with Portuguese trumpeter Luís Vicente visiting Amsterdam-based players John Dikeman, Wilbert De Joode and Onno Govaert. This concert, from September 2015, finds Vicente combining his impressive craftsmanship with three like-minded players. Then again, it might be just ...
Roy Nathanson: Nearness And You, Duets and Improvisations
by Mark Corroto
On saxophonist Roy Nathanson's 2009 disc Subway Moon (Yellowbird), he covers the R&B song “Love Train" a huge hit for The O'Jays in 1973. Nathanson's version was a relaxed take on the age old wish for world peace. By decelerating the music he accelerated the intimacy. He utilizes the same device on Nearness Of You, an ...
Snik: Metasediment Rock
by Glenn Astarita
Snik is a Norwegian quartet with a spirited approach as the respective musicians have been quite active performing with conventional and avant-garde European and USA-based jazz artists. Trombonist Kristoffer Kompen and double bassist Ole Morten Vagan's compositions present a kaleidoscopic mix of popping post-bop and free-bop style motifs often catapulted by a web of knotty unison ...
Renku: Live In Greenwich Village
by John Sharpe
Born in Israel, raised in Paris and the American Midwest, saxophonist Michael Attias has lived in NYC since 1994. But in spite of that lengthy sojourn, only relatively recently has Attias come to the fore. He might just have found his ideal vehicle in Renku. That's the name of the co-operative threesome rounded out by in ...
Dre Hocevar: Collective Effervescence
by Glenn Astarita
Slovenian drummer Dre Hocevar has expanded his trio via the 2015 Clean Feed release Coding of Eventuality with a quintet format for an electro-acoustic freely improvised set, where the artists operate within avant-garde circles while incorporating microtonal and minimalist forums and abstract classical persuasions. Electronics performer Phillip White intertwines subtle nuances and treatments yet does not ...
Dave Ballou: Solo Trumpet
by Giuseppe Segala
Dave Ballou si inserisce in modo del tutto personale in quel filone di trombettisti che indaga il proprio strumento in senso lato, ne trae sonorità inedite attraverso lo studio di articolazioni e procedure peculiari, ne cerca un ampliamento del vocabolario e delle espressività. Un filone che, in senso cronologico, ha origine con Bill Dixon, passa per ...
Kaja Draksler, Susana Santos Silva: This Love
by Vic Albani
Giovani avanguardiste crescono. Conosciutesi durante l'esperienza del 2008 con la European Movement Jazz Orchestra (una sorta di big band internazionalista che raccoglie da tempo alcuni fra i più interessanti talenti emergenti continentali) e poi durante le residente artistiche del “summit" Cows on Trees (ad esempio quella nota del Centro Norton De Matos di Coimbra), ...
Nick Fraser: Too Many Continents
by Stefano Merighi
Vent'anni di esperienza a Toronto nel jazz e nella musica improvvisata di quella scena, il batterista Nick Fraser coltiva anche amicizie musicali ad ampio raggio, come dimostra la partnership con la connazionale Kris Davis e l'americano Tony Malaby. La musicalità di Fraser spazia da un jazz avanzato contemporaneo fino alla free music più ...
Nate Wooley: (Dance to) the Early Music
by Luca Canini
Marzo di due anni fa. Nate Wooley e il suo quintetto sul palco dell'Auditorium di Piazza della Libertà, ospiti (assai graditi) di Bergamo Jazz. Ultimi scampoli di concerto, tempo di bis: Wooley posa la tromba e annuncia: «Prima di salutarvi eseguiremo un paio di composizioni di Wynton Marsalis». Incredulità in sala. «Che ha detto? Marsalis?», chiede ...
Kaja Draksler / Susana Santos Silva: This Love
by John Sharpe
Slovenian pianist Kaja Draksler and Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos Silva came together at Lisbon's Culturgest in March 2015 to create This Love. While it's their first duet album, they've been making music together in various groups since 2008, first in the European Movement Jazz Orchestra, an international big band of young up-coming musicians, and later in ...
