Richard Leo Johnson - Gregg Bendian: Who Knew Charlie Shoe?
by AAJ Italy Staff
Cominciamo subito col dire che il chitarrista prevalentemente acustico Richard Leo Johnson è un musicista tecnicamente superlativo. La cosa è già stata ampiamente dimostrata fin dai suoi primi due album (pubblicati da Blue Note nel 1999 e nel 2000). In particolare, questo suono tradizionale e raffinato allo stesso tempo, che ricorda Michael Hedges, John Fahey e ...
Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath: Eclipse at Dawn
by Jerry D'Souza
The advent of a recording from the Brotherhood of Breath is a time of eager anticipation. The band was always inventive, their music challenging. They rode the winds of free jazz, added the flavor of dance music and enticed with the beat of the kwela. They bring all these elements together once more on this live ...
Ahleuchatistas: Even In The Midst....
by Nic Jones
If the notion of “post-rock" can be seen as something other than downright facetious for a moment, then the idea that such a canon would take in the likes of both Captain Beefheart and Pere Ubu ensures that Ahleuchatistas belong there also. Such labeling, arbitrary as it inevitably seems, serves a purpose in this case in ...
Radio Massacre International: Rain Falls In Grey
by Nic Jones
It could be argued that Space Rock is the bastard offspring of Progressive Rock by those with a weakness for labeling, but when the former is put together with love and attention to detail--as it is here--any argument is just a waste of valuable time. Conceived as a tribute to the late Syd Barrett, the man ...
Healing Force: The Songs Of Albert Ayler
by Nic Jones
In the last years of his life Albert Ayler confounded the jazz audience in a way every bit as profound as he had in his previous guise as the most radical figure of the avant-garde. The fact that he did it with a mixture of spirituality quite in keeping with the predominant social climate of the ...
Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath: Eclipse at Dawn
by AAJ Italy Staff
Si può solo intuire quale poteva essere l’impatto sul pubblico di una esibizione dal vivo della Brotherhood of Breath, la formazione allestita agli inizi degli anni Settanta da Chris McGregor sulle ceneri degli storici Blue Notes. Si può solo immaginare, perché il valore musicale e di testimonianza storica di Eclipse at Dawn, ad opera della meritoria ...
Golia / Josephson / Kaiser / Keneally / Morris / Smith / Walter: Healing Force: The Songs of Albert Ayler
by Jerry D'Souza
Saxophonist Albert Ayler was a restless genius. He was a ferocious improviser, extreme in his innovations, uncompromising in his approach. He could blend free improvisation with gospel fervor, or with the harmonic concept of a marching band. He did it all with unmitigated passion that made him a revered musician. Ayler was accused of ...
Healing Force: The Songs of Albert Ayler
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sette fra i più attivi guastatori sonori in circolazione sulla costa occidentale degli States, si danno appuntamento presso i Fantasy Studios di Berkeley, California, e sfruttando fino all’ultimo byte messo a disposizione dalla tecnologia, licenziano un corposo omaggio all’arte di Albert Ayler. Fin qui niente di particolarmente sorprendente, a parte le difficoltà relative ad un personaggio ...
The Claudia Quintet: For
by Jerry D'Souza
The Claudia Quintet has been evolving and shaping its music, creating a potent and forceful presence. They do it with graceful finesse; working the elements to let melody get its due and improvisation mark its presence. Think of the quintet as a minstrel of joy and the charm of their music becomes apparent. Theirs is a ...
