Carlos Bica: Carlos Bica + Materia-Prima
by AAJ Italy Staff
Carlos Bica è un contrabbassista portoghese ormai ben noto ed apprezzato in tutta Europa. Divide la sua attività fra la terra natia e Berlino, una città dove ha trovato fertile humus per sedimentare la sua musica che fa dell'equilibrio fra le varie componenti la sua caratteristica principale. Questo ottimo album non fa altro che confermare anche ...
Eric Boeren: Song for Tracy the Turtle
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ornette Coleman è sempre stata la fonte di ispirazione dichiarata per Eric Boeren e per la sua cornetta. In particolar modo lo è l'Ornette degli inizi o, per meglio dire, del periodo reso immortale dai dischi pubblicati dall'Atlantic. Anche questo album, ricavato dalla registrazione radiofonica di un concerto che si era tenuto a Bruges alla fine ...
Elliott Sharp: Octal Book Two
by AAJ Italy Staff
Elliott Sharp scherza, ma non troppo, nelle note di copertina quando definisce questa musica 'purely digital' intendendo dire che viene prodotta semplicemente dalle sue dita. Nessun plettro, nessun aiuto dall'elettronica, se si escludono un tocco di riverbero, un po' di compressione e l'utilizzo dell'E-Bow, uno stimolatore-oscillatore elettromagnetico che mette in vibrazione le corde. Sharp è solo ...
TGB: Evil Things
by Glenn Astarita
This electrifying Portuguese progressive-jazz trio pulls a lot of tricks out of its magic bag, but alleviates the flow a tad with its solicitous rendition of Black Sabbath's “Planet Caravan." Here, tubaist Sergio Carolino and guitarist Mario Delgado venture towards a metal-lite jazz aura, fused with a resonating jazz-blues-rock mix, culminating in a fuzzed-toned finale, as ...
Evan Parker / Urs Leimgruber: Twine
by Mark Corroto
Twine, from saxophonists Evan Parker and Urs Leimgruber, is perhaps named for two strands twisted together to make a much stronger thread. The subtitle, however, might just be two saxophonists separated at birth.Most people familiar with the legendary Parker know his unique sound and reign as the sovereign of freely improvised tenor and soprano ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa - Steve Lehman: Dual Identity
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sono due tra i sax contralto più originali e significativi degli ultimi anni i titolari di questa band, Rudresh Mahanthappa e Steve Lehman, che si sono conosciuti [è forse un caso, ma piuttosto significativo] al Festival di Verona del 1999 e da allora intrecciano le rispettive carriere secondo coordinate che si distinguono per partner comuni - ...
Tom Rainey Trio: Pool School
by Chris May
Though there are more substantial things to observe about Brooklyn-based drummer Tom Rainey's Pool School, let's start by saying that the disc's hand-tinted, faux 1930s cover art is among the more stylish to have emerged so far in 2010. And even if the imagery is most immediately resonant of summer in Portugal, the Clean Feed label's ...
Kris Davis / Ingrid Laubrock / Tyshawn Sorey: Paradoxical Frog
by Chris May
There's so much music bursting out of saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, and her cultural reference points are so diverse, that you never quite know, as you take a disc out of the sleeve for the first time, what she's going to be up to--aside from going further. The intriguing Paradoxical Frog contains more surprises. Among ...
Steve Lehman / Rudresh Mahanthappa: Dual Identity
by Mark F. Turner
Recorded live at Portugal's Braga Jazz Festival in 2009 Dual Identity features two leading sax innovators--Steve Lehman and Rudresh Mahanthappa--in a stunning performance. Their discographies are synonymous with the current environment of progressive jazz; music that stretches boundaries with fresh ideas in conceptualization (Lehman's spectral harmony experiments in Travail, Transformation, and Flow (Pi Recordings, 2009)) and ...
Bernardo SassettiTrio: Motion
by Mark Corroto
Quite often, when hearing compositions by pianist Bernardo Sassetti, it's easy to mistake him for an American. His folksy charm has that Aaron Copland-meets-Bill Frisell kind of Americana. But no, this huge talent is Portugal's own son. He is back again in a trio setting with bassist Carlos Barretto and drummer Alexandre Frazão. The ...
