Matt Mitchell: Vista Accumulation
by Mark Corroto
Growing up in a neighborhood, how do you get from, “Hey you kids, get off of my lawn!" to “Congratulations, Mr. Mitchell, on your son winning the Doris Duke Impact award and being named a Pew Fellow"? We are talking about the musical, not the suburban neighborhood here and in seemingly a blink of an eye, ...
Matt Mitchell: Vista Accumulation
by Hrayr Attarian
Composer and pianist Matt Mitchell creates haunting and vibrant soundscapes on his second release for Pi Records, Vista Accumulation. The eight, multilayered, originals that comprise the double disc set are organically fluid in structure with a tense ambience and a barely contained fervor within. Saxophonist and clarinetist Chris Speed opens the stimulating “The Damaged ...
Matt Mitchell: Vista Accumulation
by Dan Bilawsky
You never really know what's up pianist Matt Mitchell's sleeve. As a sideman he's constantly adapting and growing, creating different palettes and situations that expand the color and content in the music of the Dave Douglas Quintet, Tim Berne's Snakeoil, John Hollenbeck's Large Ensemble, Rudresh Mahanthappa's Bird Calls quintet, and other high profile outfits; as a ...
Jen Shyu and Jade Tongue: Sounds and Cries of the World
by Hrayr Attarian
Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jen Shyu's Sounds and Cries of the World is both raw and sophisticated, fiercely compelling yet intimately fragile and, above all, terrifyingly beautiful. Her sixth album as a leader, it is a collection of seven original compositions and three folk melodies all inspired by the traditions of Korea, Indonesia and East Timor.

Bergamo Jazz 2015
by Libero Farnè
Sotto la direzione artistica di Enrico Rava per il quarto anno consecutivo, Bergamo Jazz 2015 ha proposto un ampio ventaglio di espressioni jazzistiche, ognuna delle quali fortemente caratterizzata; quasi a ribadire la natura poliedrica di questa musica, la ragione stessa della sua sopravvivenza, vale a dire la sua tentacolare commistione di generi, approcci e forme diverse, ...
Tineke Postma, Greg Osby: Sonic Halo
by Vincenzo Roggero
Che quintetto! Perché se è vero che la front-line affianca uno dei sassofonisti più influenti degli ultimi decenni -Greg Osby -ad uno dei suoi discepoli più interessanti -la contraltista olandese Tineke Postma -il trio ritmico che completa la formazione fa meraviglie. La complessa struttura delle composizioni -equamente divise tra i due leader -le linee intricate, la ...
Jozef Dumoulin & The Red Hill Orchestra: Trust
by Vincenzo Roggero
La The Red Hill Orchestra di Jozef Dumoulin non si rivela una esotica big band, o un ensemble dalle origini misteriose bensì un anomalo trio -batteria, tastiere, sax -dove tre sperimentatori dei rispettivi strumenti danno fondo a bagagli espressivi di matrice assai diversificate per creare originali paesaggi sonori. Perché è proprio il suono a farla da ...
