Tatvamasi: Parts Of The Entirety

Read "Parts Of The Entirety" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Admirers of fellow Cuneiform Records artists, Gutbucket and Led Bib or other groups embracing the jazz-rock and progressive rock genres may find a lot to get revved up about with the Polish quartet, Tatvamasi. No doubt, it's an aggressive unit, armed with a vibrant demeanor as they tread across the jazz and rock terrains with polyrhythmic ...

Troy Collins' Best Releases of 2013

Read "Troy Collins' Best Releases of 2013" reviewed by Troy Collins


Considering the sheer quantity of recordings issued in a year's time, attempting to mention every notable session would result in a list of epic proportions. These ten records represent a fertile cross-section of some of the most compelling modern jazz issued in 2013, highlighting sophisticated new developments in composition and improvisation with an unintended (but entirely ...

The Claudia Quintet: September

Read "September" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Pregi e limiti di un gruppo che al suo apparire aveva destato non poca curiosità trovano puntuale, ulteriore conferma in questo nuovo lavoro del quintetto capitanato da John Hellenbeck (tutto suo, come di consueto, il materiale tematico): da un lato una spiccata identità, dall'altro un calligrafismo, una “scheletricità emotiva" che rendono la musica fin troppo algida, ...

The Claudia Quintet: September

Read "September" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


September is a month that signals the return of football, the advent of fall, and when the youngsters say goodbye to summer and venture back to school. But for bandleader and drummer John Hollenbeck, it's when he seeks isolation and concentrates on artist residencies. September is The Claudia Quintet's seventh-release as the celebrated ensemble reaffirms its ...

S.O.S.: Looking for the Next One

Read "Looking for the Next One" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Santa Cuneiform! La preziosissima piccola etichetta americana, da tempo molto attenta anche al recupero dei più sottostimati patrimoni musicali degli anni passati, impreziosisce il proprio catalogo e le orecchie degli ascoltatori con un piccolo baule di meraviglie - curato dal grande nome di Michael King. Stiamo parlando di Looking for the Next One, vale a dire ...

São Paulo Underground: Beija Flors Velho E Sujo

Read "Beija Flors Velho E Sujo" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Poteva sembrare un divertissement nel già denso percorso progettuale di Rob Mazurek, quello dei São Paulo Underground e invece eccoci qui al quarto disco, nonché a una continuità concertistica che ci raccontano della centralità della band nel mondo del compositore e trombettista americano. Le ragioni tra l'altro non sono difficili da capire: da sempre aperto alle ...

S.O.S.: Looking for the Next One

Read "S.O.S.: Looking for the Next One" reviewed by John Kelman


With more and more archival “finds" hitting the shelves--real or virtual--it's becoming increasingly difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Just because an old, long considered lost recording has resurfaced doesn't inherently make it worthy of release: sometimes the sound isn't up to snuff--though, if it's a stellar performance, that can sometimes be forgiven--but other ...

Sao Paulo Underground: Beija Flors Velho E Sujo

Read "Beija Flors Velho E Sujo" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Once again this trio sounds like a larger unit and its capricious implementations remain a constant. The band's makeup contains an assortment of keys, percussion, electronics effects and other tools of the trade. Yet Chicago progressive jazz trumpeter Rob Mazurek is the primary soloist, sporting a big brassy tone and imposing presence. The musicians unify the ...

Ergo: If Not Inertia

Read "If Not Inertia" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il terzo disco del gruppo Ergo si muove sul piano di una musica intensa e pensata secondo linee geometriche, incentrate su una grande attenzione al suono. Si capisce sin dal pezzo di apertura, che cresce lungo un asse sommatorio dominato da una sola nota ossessiva, su cui si aggiunge uno strumento alla volta, o quando i ...
