Rob Mazurek and Black Cube SP: Return the Tides: Ascension Suite and Holy Ghost

Return the Tides is a heart-felt tribute to Rob Mazurek's mother, Kathleen Mazurek, who died on May 4, 2013, just days after receiving a diagnosis of late stage cancer. Her sudden and unexpected passing motivated Mazurek to honor her generous spirit through music that would, in his words, “clear a path for my mother into the ...

Read "We Are Small Pixels" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Vengono dalla Norvegia, sono giovanissimi benché abbiano già alle spalle un apprezzato album di debutto, sono guidati dalla contrabbassista e cantante Ellen Andrea Wang, propongono una musica difficile da catalogare. Un mix, questo, che si presenta particolarmente intrigante per un album che soddisfa pienamente la nostra curiosità. Pixel è quartetto piano-less con sax ...

Dylan Ryan Sand: Circa

Read "Circa" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini


Dopo l'eccellente Bleached Sky del 2012, il trio del batterista Dylan Ryan torna sul luogo del delitto con una bella tanica di benzina e accende un fuoco capace di brillare per la notte intera. L'incendiario principale è, come al solito, il bravissimo chitarrista Tim Young, cresciuto all'ombra di Wayne Horvitz e dei suoi Zony Mash, con ...

Dylan Ryan / Sand: Circa

Read "Circa" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Following up the well-received Sky Bleached (2012, Cuneiform Records), drummer Dylan Ryan and his trio continue their full-blown aerial assault on conventional power trio mechanisms. Think of spaced out jazz rock with asymmetrical doses of Black Sabbath, avant- garde breakouts, and brooding rhythmic tirades, culminated with the art of improvisation. Guitarist Timothy Young's (Wayne Horvitz, David ...

The Ed Palermo Big Band: Oh No! Not Jazz!!

Read "Oh No! Not Jazz!!" reviewed by Vic Albani


La Big Band di Ed Palermo ha iniziato a suonare le composizioni di uno dei più grandi musicisti del secolo scorso, Frank Zappa, per puro e immenso amore nei confronti di quel genio poco dopo la sua scomparsa avvenuta il 4 dicembre del 1993. A parte la risaputa difficoltà tecnica ed esecutiva delle ...

Ideal Bread: Beating The Teens - Songs of Steve Lacy

Read "Beating The Teens - Songs of Steve Lacy" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Nuovo tributo, stavolta doppio (e quindi ancor più meritorio), all'arte di Steve Lacy da parte del quartetto capitanato da Josh Sinton (suoi tutti gli arrangiamenti), in questo caso attingendo a un repertorio molto specifico, visto che vi sono interamente riproposti i cinque LP incisi dal grande sopranista fra il 1969 e il 1977 per la Saravah: ...

Mary Halvorson, Michael Formanek, Tomas Fujiwara: Thumbscrew

Read "Thumbscrew" reviewed by Enrico Bettinello


È un trio intrigante, quello composto da Mary Halvorson alla chitarra, Michael Formanek al contrabbasso e Tomas Fujiwara alla batteria. Organismo collettivo, mette in contatto musicalità molto forti già individualmente e in grado di condividere processi di improvvisazione sempre mobili. Forme aperte che però mantengono sempre una forte coerenza interna, inerpicandosi a volte ...
