Pharoah & The Underground: Spiral Mercury
by Troy Collins
The formation of the Chicago Underground collective in the late '90s provided cornetist Rob Mazurek with an unrestrictive setting to explore the endless possibilities of creative improvised music with his Windy City peers. A lengthy sojourn in Brazil followed, resulting in a similar project--the São Paulo Underground. Mazurek's international activities subsequently established him as a prolific ...
Sei Miguel: Salvation Modes
by Glenn Astarita
Here, Portuguese trumpeter, composer Sei Miguel delves into his stockpile of older compositions that were seldom performed or recorded. And his customary, eccentric mode of operations is structured in an enticingly bizarre approach to jazz and jazz improvisation. On this release comprised of three extended tracks, the artist employs two quartets and a ten-piece ensemble as ...
Tony Malaby Tamarindo: Somos Agua
by Robert Bush
Saxophonist Tony Malaby's Tamarindo, featuring the unerring bassist William Parker and explosive drummer Nasheet Waits explore the possibilities of the saxophone trio on Somos Agua with frequently staggering results--sort of like a very free version of the Sonny Rollins unit with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones that recorded A Night at the Village Vanguard some 57 ...
Spiral Mercury - Chicago/Sao Paulo Underground featuring Pharoah Sanders: Pharoah & The Underground
by Glenn Astarita
Renowned tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and new music, jazz-centric pioneer, cornetist Rob Mazurek bridge alternate generations of avant-gard-isms with this highly persuasive and indubitably, audacious production.

Joëlle Léandre & Pascal Contet: 3
by Eyal Hareuveni
Like a conversation between old comrades, not much needs to be said in order to make perfect sense.

Lawnmower: Lawnmower II
by Vincenzo Roggero
Lawnmower è un'idea musicale del batterista Luther Gray (Anthony Braxton, Ken Vandermark, Joe McPhee per citare alcune sue frequentazioni) che nel 2010 si concretizzò sulla label portoghese Clean Feed in un'inedita formazione completata da due chitarre elettriche e da un sassofono. Quattro anni dopo il leader si ripresenta con il fido Jim Hobbs ...
Pharoah & The Underground: Spiral Mercury
by Karl Ackermann
With Pharaoh & the Underground we have two generations of musicians whose common bond is their greatness.

The album is a document of a 2013 concert, one of the ...
Anna Kaluza – Artur Majewski – Rafal Mazur – Kuba Suchar: Tone Hunting
by Stefano Merighi
La prassi della free-music conduce spesso l'opera musicale verso una lingua franca di cui è difficile delineare i contorni, l'identità. Se l'astrazione prevale sull'ispirazione melodica e il piano generale si riduce ad una sommaria aleatorietà, evaporano facilmente i tratti riconoscibili dei diversi esecutori (a meno di evidenti linguaggi individuali storicizzati), così come quelli geografici.
Rodrigo Amado: Wire Quartet
by Eyal Hareuveni
The debut album of Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado's Wire Quartet--featuring the rhythm section of the acclaimed RED Trio, double bassist Hernâni Faustino and drummer Gabriel Ferrandini (who also plays in Amado's long-standing working Motion Trio) and experimental guitarist Manuel Mota--demonstrate Amado strongest and most intense performances to date, defying any attempt to associate it with post-bop ...
Angles 9: Injuries
by Vincenzo Roggero
Provengono dalla Scandinavia--terra ostica, lande sconfinate, natura selvaggia, ghiaccio incombente (basta un'occhiata alle foto di copertina...)--ma scaldano anima e cuore come poche, pochissime, formazioni sono attualmente in grado di fare. Loro, ca va sans dire, sono gli Angles, qui alla prima documentazione in versione “nine" intitolata Injuries, fissata ancora su Clean Feed e disponibile nel doppio ...
