Curtis Hasselbring: Number Stations
by Glenn Astarita
Many avant-garde composers, leaders or conductors employ various mechanisms to instruct the band for a specific composition. Here, longtime New York City alternative composer, trombonist Curtis Hasselbring integrates an all-star lineup for pieces inspired by a random series of numbers, based on shortwave radio stations. Hasslebring iterates that these pieces are hypothetically decoded and provide cryptic ...
Dylan Ryan Sand: Sky Bleached
by Glenn Astarita
Faintly anarchic song-forms, coupled with a new-wave formulation of the jazz-rock trio setting forges a compelling imprint with drummer Dylan Ryan's debut solo effort. And it's one of those match made in heaven type of scenarios, where the respective musicians' styles, synergy, and use of space as a supplementary instrument coalesce into a program that bears ...
Positive Catastrophe: Dibrujo, Dibrujo, Dibrujo...
by AAJ Italy Staff
La componente latineggiante di tanta nuova musica newyorkese sembra essere una delle possibili chiavi di lettura di questo ottimo CD, suonato da una superformazione che, da Taylor Ho Binum a Michael Attias passando per Matt Bauder, comprende alcuni tra i nomi migliori della più stretta attualità jazzistica. Come nel precedente CD Garabatos Volume One (Cuneiform 2009), ...
The Kandinsky Effect: Synesthesia
by Bruce Lindsay
A band whose members hail from the USA and France, a band name taken from that of a Russian painter, a recording studio in Iceland and tune titles that reference an English town ("Brighton"), a Mexican souvenir retailer ("Mexican Gift Shop") and a Danish film director ("Lars Von Trier").

Mats/Morgan Band: Live
by Dave Wayne
Keyboardist Mats Öberg and drummer Morgen Ågren--known as much for their musical brilliance as they are for their devotion to the music of Frank Zappa--are at their hyperactive best on this remastered recording from Stockholm's Club Fasching in 1999. Six pieces by Ågren and five by Öberg comprise this all-original set that shows quite a bit ...

The shadow of Miles Davis continues to influence the efforts of generations of jazz musicians, especially fellow trumpeters. Davis' myriad innovations span multiple styles and time periods, making it virtually impossible to ignore his achievements. Yet when the We Want Miles exhibition in São Paulo, Brazil asked former resident Rob Mazurek to devise a presentation inspired ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Oggi è tra gli artisti multimediali più apprezzati a livello mondiale, specialmente dopo il meritato successo del favoloso “The Clock" [strabiliante e straniante montaggio, lungo 24 ore, di spezzoni di film e programmi televisivi in cui l'ora è sincronizzata con quella del fruitore], ma è stato nei decenni precedenti che Christian Marclay ha progressivamente conquistato una ...
