The Claudia Quintet: For
by Tom Greenland
It's a challenge to describe the Claudia Quintet's sound: there are patent references, but distinct departures from these references as well. For, their newest project on Cuneiform, reunites Drew Gress (bass), John Hollenbeck (drums and electronica), Matt Moran (vibes), Ted Reichman (accordion) and Chris Speed (clarinet and tenor sax), continuing a trajectory established on three previous ...
Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores: The Blind Spot
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il gruppo guidato dal fisarmonicista Alec K. Redfearn conferma la sua vena bizzarra e peculiare con questo secondo album per l’etichetta Cuneiform che risulta essere il sesto lavoro nella ormai decennale storia della band americana. I possibili punti di riferimento sono evidenti ma allo stesso tempo non troppo definiti: si possono certamente trovare elementi di contatto ...
Steve Lacy - Roswell Rudd Quartet: Early and Late
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un piccolo scrigno con tesori preziosi, questa edizione Cuneiform, che raccoglie incisioni sparse della coppia Lacy-Rudd in diverse situazioni, ma soprattutto regala ben quattro tracce datate 1962, dunque precedenti l’incisione del noto School Days. Come tutto il repertorio di quell’album, tre di questi quattro pezzi sono elaborazioni da Thelonious Monk, che i due allora giovani jazzmen ...

by Nic Jones
Steve Miller/Lol Coxhill The Story So Far...Oh Really?

The Claudia Quintet: For
by John Kelman
While it's invariably the intention of any group to make each new record an improvement or, at least, an evolution over the last one, it's rare that it actually happens with inevitable consistency. Bucking the trend since its eponymous 2001 CRI debut, percussionist/composer John Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet has managed to make each successive release somehow different ...
Soft Machine: Grides
by Donald Elfman
These Cuneiform people have a sense of what music grabbed people at a crucial point in the development of jazz and rock. Their sixth rare Soft Machine set is a thing of primal, noisy wonder, forged at a time when the fusion was “nuclear --causing sonic explosions. This version of the group--with the late Elton Dean ...
Miller - Coxhill / Coxhill - Miller: The Story So Far… / …Oh Really?
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ogni tanto queste benedette (quasi) cinque stelle, sei, otto o dieci che siano (ci ferma solo la paura), bisognerebbe assegnarle. Ecco qui un buon esempio. Questo CD non è un capolavoro assoluto della musica moderna, ma raccoglie con intelligenza rara (e le quasi-cinque stelle diamole anche e innanzitutto alla Cuneiform che ha amorevolmente raccolto - ripulendo ...
Steve Miller / Lol Coxhill: "The Story So Far..." "...Oh Really?"
by John Kelman
Amidst the artists commonly associated with the British Canterbury scene, pianist Steve Miller and saxophonist Lol Coxhill undeservedly receive some of the least attention. Miller, brother of better-known guitarist Phil (Hatfield and the North, National Health), passed away in 1998 with only a small recorded legacy including stints with Caravan and the pre-Hatfield group Delivery. Coxhill's ...
The Claudia Quintet: For
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un nome che evoca seriosi ensemble cameristici, un gruppo di improvvisatori con un background che copre tutto l’arco costituzionale di generi e stili musicali, una combinazione di strumenti acustici alquanto insolita dalle potenzialità sconosciute e dagli sviluppi imprevedibili. The Claudia Quintet, l’ennesima formazione del vulcanico e poliedrico John Hollenbeck, nata nel 1997 dalla ceneri del trio ...
