Dave Ballou: Solo Trumpet
by Giuseppe Segala
Dave Ballou si inserisce in modo del tutto personale in quel filone di trombettisti che indaga il proprio strumento in senso lato, ne trae sonorità inedite attraverso lo studio di articolazioni e procedure peculiari, ne cerca un ampliamento del vocabolario e delle espressività. Un filone che, in senso cronologico, ha origine con Bill Dixon, passa per ...

Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin: Ichigo Ichie
by Mark Corroto
I'm going to propose a computer “app" called Big Band World Domination. With this software players would be able to go forward and backward in time to have big bands compete against each other. Spin back to the territory bands of the 1920s, 30s, all the way to the 1960s, and then up to today. We ...
Mario Pavone: Street Songs
by Neri Pollastri
Mario Pavone ha un posto centrale nella musica creativa statunitense, avendo suonato con alcuni dei più importanti innovatori degli ultimi cinquant'anni--come Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith e Marty Ehrlich--e avendo avuto sodalizi stabili prima con Paul Bley, poi con Bill Dixon e infine con il compianto Thomas Chapin. Dopo la morte di quest'ultimo, con il quale ...
Steve Olson: Conversations
by Budd Kopman
For his first recording as a leader, drummer/percussionist Steve Olson asked six of his friends to engage in completely unrehearsed and improvised duo “conversations."
