Graham Collier: Hoarded Dreams
by Roger Farbey
A fanfare of trumpets launches this most exciting but hard-to-describe live recording into its own orbit of jazz. It's part Charles Mingus, part Sun Ra, part Duke Ellington, part Carla Bley, but all original, captivating the listener's attention immediately and not letting go. Following the frenetic opening of “Part 1 and a relatively frenetic opening to ...
Hugh Hopper: Hopper Tunity Box
by John Kelman
Why re-review an album covered less than eighteen months ago? In the case of bassist Hugh Hopper's second solo album (and his first after leaving seminal British jazz-rock group Soft Machine), it's because this reissue comes very close to sounding like an entirely new record. According to Hopper, during the mastering process of Hopper Tunity Box, ...
The Mahavishnu Project: Return to the Emerald Beyond
by John Kelman
One inherent risk of any tribute band is excessively literal treatment of the material.

Poco più di quattro anni di militanza, dal dicembre del ’68 (quando il nostro subentra all’eccentrico Kevin Ayers) al maggio del ’73, che hanno consegnato ai posteri cinque album ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Dieci degli undici brani che formano questo importante documento recentemente pubblicato da Cuneiform arrivano da due concerti che i Soft Machine tennero al Middle Earth di Londra nel settembre del 1967 e nel maggio dell’anno successivo. Per la cronaca l’undicesimo brano è dell’autunno 1967, ma in questo unico caso non si sa quale fosse la location ...
Richard Pinhas: Metatron
by John Kelman
Amongst the multitude of guitarists developing individual voices through recognizable guitar sounds exists a smaller group of players who view the instrument as means to a different end. King Crimson co-founder Robert Fripp, one of the first to explore transforming the sound of a guitar beyond recognition, has been a major influence on more than one ...
