Bologna Jazz Festival 2015
by Libero Farnè
Compie dieci anni il “nuovo" festival di Bologna, proteso a rinverdire i fasti dello storico festival che chiuse i battenti nel 1975, al quale seguirono negli anni Ottanta e Novanta vari tentativi di ripresa presto falliti. Organizzata dall'associazione Bologna in Musica, questa edizione consolida la formula avviata negli anni passati, coprendo un intero mese di programmazione ...
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, ...
SLD Trio: Anfitrion
by Jakob Baekgaard
A piano trio without a leader? The concept is not unknown, but the norm in jazz is that a trio has a leader. Even pianist Bill Evans' trio with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian, famous for dissolving the fixed hierarchy in a trio setting, was formally presented as the Bill Evans trio.

Matthew Shipp & Mat Walerian Duo / The Uppercut: Live At Okuden
by Mark Corroto

Passing away at the age of 41 in 1817, she would not have had the opportunity to hear either jazz, nor the music of Matthew Shipp and Mat Walerian. The surprise here ...

Seth Meicht and the Big Sound Ensemble: Live in Philadelphia
by John Sharpe
Philly tenor saxophonist Seth Meicht has created a crack little big band which combines nifty arrangements and adventurous expression in his Big Sound Ensemble. Meicht has largely passed under the critical radar since Illumine (CIMP, 2006), surfacing only for the occasional high profile gig in NYC, including the 2009 Vision Festival. This recording in front of ...
Darius Jones, Matthew Shipp: The Darkseid Recital
by Libero Farnè
Delicati e sospesi impressionismi, movimentate evoluzioni in cui le asciutte sezioni del sax si sovrappongono al continuo e turbolento sottofondo tramato dal piano, rarefazioni caratterizzate da sonorità puntigliose del piano ed eccentriche del sax, scorribande free con i due strumenti legati inscindibilmente in un flusso turbinoso, frasi melodiche innestate su insistenze percussive... Queste ed altre situazioni ...
