Daniel Levin: Organic Modernism
by AAJ Italy Staff
«La verità necessita sempre di essere costruita» dice lo psicanalista francese Michel Schneider, citato all'inizio delle note di copertina di questo bel disco e se, come si legge più avanti «la musica si colloca in quel territorio elusivo tra ciò che noi percepiamo come realtà e l'illusione» allora il lavoro di questo straordinario quartetto sembra aver ...
Ralph Alessi and This Against That: Wiry Strong
by Mark Corroto
Born out of the jazz laboratory of Brooklyn's M-Base experiments of the 1990s, trumpeter Ralph Alessi has always seemed to be a farouche player. Never hankering for the spotlight, he always seems satisfied to turn in solid deliberate efforts that don't court flattery. Maybe it is his subtle nature, but what some might have missed has ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: The Coimbra Concert
by AAJ Italy Staff
I lettori più affezionati dovrebbero sapere di quale smodata considerazione godano i Mostly Other People Do the Killing su queste pagine virtuali. Tre lunghi anni sono passati da quando l'epifanico Shamokin!!! ne segnalò la rumorosa presenza sul pianeta-jazz; due dall'altrettanto entusiasmante This Is Our Moosic. Da allora la fama del quartetto è doverosamente cresciuta. Moppa Elliott ...
Arrive: There Was...
by Mark Corroto
It is astonishing to consider just how many differing ensembles in which a modern jazz musician might participate. Take, for instance, the players heard in alto saxophonist Aram Shelton's Arrive. Besides his own band Rolldown, vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz can be heard in seven other bands, including those of Rob Mazurek, Mike Reed, and Nicole Mitchell. Likewise, ...
Nate Wooley Quintet: (Put Your) Hands Together
by Glenn Astarita
(Put Your) Hands Together's cover art features a photo of trumpeter Nate Wooley putting his hands together, perhaps as a token of appreciation for his quintet's exemplary performance. Praise is in order because of the program's captivating synchronicity, artfully scaling between structure and improvisation to complement an abundance of polytonal facets. With penetrating compositions and thoughtful ...
Arrive: There Was...
by Troy Collins
A longtime fixture of the fertile Chicago jazz scene, Aram Shelton's relocation to Oakland, California has not diminished the alto saxophonist's presence among his peers in the Windy City. Courtesy of a rigorous touring schedule, Shelton maintains memberships in numerous ensembles, including Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown, the collective ensemble Fast Citizens, and Arrive, his quartet with vibraphonist ...
MSG: Tasty!
by Mark Corroto
Jazz recordings cannot punch listeners in the nose--well, not literally. But when a recording hits as hard as MSG's Tasty!, it certainly feels like it. Saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, a Guggenheim Fellow and distinguished Player, has been applying his punchy style, first in projects with pianist Vijay Iyer, but lately in creative endeavors such as ...
Angelica Sanchez: A Little House
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nelle brevissime note di copertina Carla Bley suggerisce come ogni brano di A Little House racconti una storia che sembra narrata appositamente per ogni singolo ascoltatore e sottolinea come il disco in questione rientri senza ombra di dubbio nel novero di quelli da portare sulla famosa isola deserta. Saranno gli ascoltatori a stabilire se quest'ultima affermazione ...
Tim Berne: Insomnia
by Troy Collins
Recorded in the summer of 1997, the previously unreleased Insomnia offers an expanded variation of composer/saxophonist Tim Berne's critically lauded 1990s quartet, Bloodcount. The group, which featured Berne (on alto and baritone saxophones), tenor saxophonist/clarinetist Chris Speed, bassist Michael Formanek, and drummer Jim Black, was widely revered for its ability to fashion dramatic opuses that seamlessly ...
Stephan Crump - James Carney: Echo Run Pry
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tutti e due vengono dalla scena downtown newyorkese, da noi forse il più conosciuto è Stephan Crump ascoltato spesso nel trio di Vijay Iyer. Insieme firmano un album composto da due lunghe improvvisazioni in cui convivono ricerca cameristica e lunghe fughe in libertà. Episodi introspettivi si alternano a improvvisazioni di forte espressionismo sviluppati tuttavia sul filo ...
