Little Women: Throat

by AAJ Italy Staff
July 21, 2010

Con una copertina molto à la ESP, l'etichetta di Giuseppi Logan e Patty Waters (ma anche di Ornette, Ayler, Sun Ra, e tanti altri), ecco un album che, come appunto quel glorioso modello, ha l'invidiabile pregio di non (voler) essere in alcun modo ammiccante, rassicurante, omologato; e invece, ruvido, magmatico, torvo, rovente, tra schizofrenia e turgore, ...

July 6, 2010

Double drummer-led free jazz sessions come with a price, and both aural and contemplative muscles need to be flexed. With Blood Of The Earth, from drummers Marc Edwards and Weasel Walter, the challenges for immersion in a sonic concentration of spontaneity and stamina.

Forbes Graham: Magenta Haze

by Gordon Marshall
February 2, 2010

Forbes Graham isn't hell-bent on taking the jazz world over by fiat. Then again, a sterling tone like Louis Armstrong's, a sense of stride and a sidewinder sleekness position him to do so. He brings spot-on timing, inherited from his key precursor, Don Cherry, into the icy age of post jazz--and swings, too, situated ...
