Memories in Motian
by Zeno De Rossi
Poco dopo aver appreso la triste notizia della morte di Paul Motian, avvenuta il 22 novembre 2011, ho sentito la forte esigenza di ri-tuffarmi in profondità nella sua musica. In seguito, dopo aver letto un toccante scritto di Ellery Eskelin (pubblicato sul suo sito e riportato qui di seguito), pensai che sarebbe stato ...
Mark Guiliana: Emulating The Source
by Ben Scholz
Over the past ten years, electronic music and jazz have developed a curious relationship. As programmers and DJs sought to remove the human element from their beats and loops, acoustic musicians sought to apply the tight, complex patterns of house and trance music to their traditional instruments. Drummer Mark Guiliana is at the forefront of this ...
Save the Date - Luglio 2014
by Luca Canini
Impazza l'estate, impazzano i festival. Rassegne, eventi, raduni, piazze, castelli, arene, vicoli, spettatori sudati che non sanno come sbarazzarsi della coppetta del gelato appena trangugiato, bambini aggrappati ai passeggini, improbabili canotte, pelli bruciacchiate, aperitivi in ogni dove e concerti a non finire. Ma di qualità poca. L'infilata di meraviglie che ha caratterizzato la primavera è un ...

Memories in Motian

Soon after hearing about Paul Motian's passing (November 22, 2011) I felt the urge to delve (again) into his music. Later on, inspired by a moving writing by Ellery Eskelin (published on his website and reproduced below, by his kind permission), I thought it would have been interesting to collect brief memories from ...

Dave King with Bill Carrothers and Billy Peterson: I've Been Ringing You
by Dan McClenaghan
Drummer Dave King's major fame and fortune--though mostly fame; this is, after all, jazz we're talking about--comes from his work with The Bad Plus. That particular modern piano trio can go loud, combining elements of pop and rock while delving into the avant-garde side of jazz. TBP has been described as bombastic, but King doesn't limit ...
