Dinosaur: To The Earth
by Chris May
Britain's Edition label has remained independent of London's post-2015 alternative jazz scene, whose aesthetic is formed in part by the emphases of identity politics and which now, in 2020, has gone overground with the signing of three bands led by movement auteur Shabaka Hutchings to Impulse! in the US. Edition, which was founded in 2008 by ...

Dave Stapleton
Dave Stapleton is a singular young artist and has been recently described by the Guardian as having “produced one of the success stories of UK jazz over the past year’. Since graduating in 2002 from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with a degree in classical piano Dave has recorded six albums as a leader and has won critical acclaim for each album from the Guardian, Observer, Jazzwise, and Independent on Sunday. Dave’s industriousness and imagination has seen him write for and record with a variety of ensembles over the past few years. In 2004 he formed his quintet (Dave Stapleton Quintet—DSQ), which provides the main outlet for his music
Crosscurrents Trio: l'Oriente incontra l'Occidente
by Emmanuel Di Tommaso
Il Crosscurrents Trio è composto da tre maestri dell'improvvisazione quali Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain e Chris Potter. Emanazione di un progetto in settetto nato da un'idea di Hussain, il trio si fonda sul desiderio di esplorare le connessioni culturali e musicali tra Oriente e Occidente. In questo prospettiva la musica non rappresenta unicamente una forma di ...
Crosscurrents Trio: East meets West
by Emmanuel Di Tommaso
The Crosscurrents Trio is comprised of three master improvisers: Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain and Chris Potter. Emanating from a multicultral septet project, which was the brainchild of Zakir Hussain, the trio developed out of the desire to explore the cultural and musical connections between the East and the West. From this perspective, music is not only ...
Slowly Rolling Camera: Juniper
by Geno Thackara
If Slowly Rolling Camera isn't already working on a film score or two, then some director somewhere is really missing out. The Welsh outfit occupies a beautifully lush spot in the music world at the intersection of jazz, trip-hop and soul-soothing electronica. It's sweeping yet intimate stuff, vivid and emotional on a widescreen scale in hi-def. ...
Jasper Høiby: Fellow Creatures
by Phil Barnes
Creativity is an unpredictable beast, yesterday's inspiration can soon turn stale, evaporating with the morning dew if not carefully cultivated and attended to. That idea that was once so exciting can easily become a well-worn rut, or even a trap, into which the unwary can fall. Bassist Jasper Hoiby, a third of Phronesis, appears to recognise ...
Slowly Rolling Camera: Into the Shadow
by Vincenzo Roggero
Con Into the Shadow, il progetto denominato Slowly Rolling Camera mette ulteriormente a fuoco l'idea musicale che aveva piacevolmente sorpreso nell'omonimo album di debutto. Quegli undici brani spaziavano a trecentosessanta gradi nell'ambito di una musica d'atmosfera contaminata con il soul, l'elettronica, il jazz, il trip hop, l'ambient. In questo EP -quattro brani per un totale di ...
Slowly Rolling Camera: Slowly Rolling Camera
by Bruce Lindsay
A band name--and album title--like Slowly Rolling Camera gives little if anything away about the nature of the music to be experienced on this, the debut album from the UK-based quartet. Good--for surprises can be fun. Once the music becomes familiar--the beautiful, imaginative and ambitious compositions become firmly fixed in the mind--the surprise is revealed to ...
Alexi Tuomarila: From Helsinki to Timbuktu
by Bruce Lindsay
Sometimes a person can be in the right place, just not quite at the right time. So it was for Finnish pianist Alexi Tuomarila. After his debut album with his quartet, Voices of Pohjola (Igloo Records, 2001), he signed to Warner Jazz in the early '00s, while he was still in his 20s. The second quartet ...
Alexi Tuomarila Trio: Seven Hills
by John Kelman
While not entirely rare, it is relatively uncommon to find relationships forged so strongly that the musicians find themselves working together in multiple contexts, where the names remain the same, only the leader changes. Finnish pianist Alexi Tuomarila and drummer Olavi Louhivuori have been working together in a variety of contexts for the past several years, ...
