Jorrit Dijkstra: Pillow Circles

Read "Pillow Circles" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

An international summit meeting, Pillow Circles joins four American jazz musicians with four Dutch improvisers. Similar in feel to his Flatlands Collective, this effort finds Dutch expatriate and multi-instrumentalist Jorrit Dijkstra paying homage to a handful of artists who have inspired him, with each piece dedicated to an individual. Bringing an empathetic familiarity to ...

Kirk Knuffke: Amnesia Brown

Read "Amnesia Brown" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

Brooklyn-based trumpeter Kirk Knuffke's sophomore effort, Amnesia Brown is a far more esoteric affair than his conventional piano-less quartet debut, Big Wig (Clean Feed, 2008). Eschewing a traditional rhythm section, Knuffke is joined by fellow members of Butch Morris' Nublu Orchestra--legendary Downtown stalwarts Doug Wieselman (on clarinet and electric guitar) and drummer Kenny Wollesen. Through sixteen ...

Kirk Knuffke: Amnesia Brown

Read "Amnesia Brown" reviewed by Martin Longley

by Martin Longley

Amnesia Brown was the name bestowed upon trumpeter Kirk Knuffke's absconding not-so-great grandfather. Apparently, he just sidestepped to a nearby town (and a new family), changing his name on the way. It's not quite clear how his memory (or lack of it) informs the repertoire of this album, but he also happens to provide the fourth ...

Alberto Pinton / Jonas Kulhammar / Torbjorn Zetterberg / Kjell Nordeson: Chant

Read "Chant" reviewed by Stuart Broomer

by Stuart Broomer

This beefy quartet was drawn from existing Stockholm bands by baritone saxophonist/clarinetist Alberto Pinton at the suggestion of Clean Feed producer Pedro Costa. As bassist Torbjörn Zetterberg describes it in his liner note, it's half of his octet, half of tenor and baritone saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar's quartet, half of Kullhammar and drummer Kjell Nordeson's quartet Nacka ...

Luis Lopes - Adam Lane - Igal Foni: What is When

Read "What is When" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La Clean Feed si conferma label di riferimento per la musica d'avanguardia. Di solito pubblica lavori di musicisti americani. Ma ci sono diverse, e meritevoli, eccezioni, come il sassofonista Rodrigo Amado e - in questo caso - il chitarrista Luis Lopes, che troviamo alla guida di un trio internazionale insieme al contrabbassista statunitense Adam Lane e ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day

Read "Canada Day" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Questo bel lavoro del batterista canadese Harris Eisenstadt sembra voler riportare l'attenzione sul jazz raffinato e pensoso di Wayne Shorter della seconda metà degli anni sessanta. Anche se le composizioni sono tutte originali e tutte scritte dal leader, la musica che questo quintetto sa esprimere lancia molti segnali che vanno in quella direzione. Il tutto è ...

Empty Cage Quartet: Gravity

Read "Gravity" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Sono ormai diversi anni che “The Wire," una delle migliori ed intelligenti riviste specializzate al mondo, cita l'Empty Cage Quartet (che alcuni ricorderanno sotto il nome di MTKJ Quartet, dalle iniziali dei cognomi dei suoi membri - clicca qui per leggere la recensione di Making Room for Spaces) quale una delle formazioni più illuminate ed illuminanti ...

Michael Attias: Renku in Coimbra

Read "Renku in Coimbra" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La presenza di due brani targati Lee Konitz e Jimmy Lyons non è casuale. Del primo Michael Attias possiede l'eloquio dai toni astratti del secondo l'esuberanza controllata. Volendo completare il quadro dei riferimenti potremmo dire che nel contralto di Attias si ritrovano pure la morbidezza e la nonchalance di Wayne Marsh e la logica matematica di ...

The Godforgottens: Never Forgotten, Always Remembered

Read "Never Forgotten, Always Remembered" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

A Scandinavian supergroup of sorts, The Godforgottens met for this recording session in 2006 and pianist Sten Sandell happened to spot a Hammond B3 organ in the corner. Having never played one before, he instantly shaped the direction and feel of this performance out of this spontaneous decision to have a go at it. The three ...

Trinity: Breaking the Mold

Read "Breaking the Mold" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Trinity è un quartetto che come Supersilent, Atomic, The Thing riunisce improvvisatori di gran classe che sanno forgiare musica tellurica caratterizzata da indipendenza e originalità. Vero leader di questa formazione è Kietil Moster, ex sassofonista dei Core, che dopo alcuni anni trascorsi in Sudafrica e frequentazioni rock/hardcore con Datarock è tornato, ormai da qualche tempo, al ...
