Eivind Aarset: The Edge Between Intimacy and Courage

Read "Eivind Aarset: The Edge Between Intimacy and Courage" reviewed by Adriana Carcu

by Adriana Carcu

Guitarist and composer Eivind Aarset is one of the most imaginative exponents of the spirit of open diversity that defines and differentiates the Nordic Jazz soundscape. Coming along a progressive-rock line of influence enriched by a world music heritage and refined by electronics, his music emanates the radiant energy of an unfolding white lotus flower that ...

Roberto Ottaviano: su Lacy e non solo

Read "Roberto Ottaviano: su Lacy e non solo" reviewed by Libero Farnè

by Libero Farnè

Il 4 giugno 2004 Steve Lacy moriva a Boston. Non mi pare che la comunità del jazz abbia celebrato adeguatamente il decennale. Eppure il grande compositore, sopranista, leader e pensatore americano, uno dei personaggi unici nella storia del jazz, non solo non può essere dimenticato, ma dovrebbe essere continuamente riscoperto e rianalizzato, in quanto potrebbe fornire ...

by Nenad Georgievski

Some records can be easily identified and defined by the time and the place of their creation, but Jon Hassell's records appear to have a different and opposite effect. His record Possible Musics doesn't give the impression of coming from a certain place, but rather from many places. And this collage approach where he mixed and ...

The sheer volume of great records that I have managed to hear, and the knowledge that there are many more that I haven't, means that I make no pretence of presenting a list of the definitive albums of the year. Instead, this is a snapshot list of the ten records that I have enjoyed the most ...

David Sylvian: There's a Light That Enters Houses With No Other House in Sight

Read "David Sylvian: There's a Light That Enters Houses With No Other House in Sight" reviewed by Phil Barnes

by Phil Barnes

David Sylvian's extended flight from pop stardom in the middle years of the 1980s was an enthralling counterpoint to that decade's facile obsession with surface and relapse into materialism. While mainstream pop retreated from the innovations and musical openness of post-punk into the empty banalities of bean counting corporate rock, Sylvian among a few others appeared ...

Read "Erik Honore: Heliographs" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

If patience is a virtue, then Erik Honoré is, indeed, one virtuous man. Over the past few decades he's built a busy career as a novelist and record producer in his home country of Norway, and has come to increasing international attention as co-Artistic Director of the Punkt Live Remix festival--that globe-trotting festival with a philosophy ...
