Josh Berman & His Gang: There Now

Read "There Now" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Cinque dei brani presenti in There Now portano direttamente ai Roaring Twenties, i ruggenti Anni Venti nei quali impazzavano le prime formazioni jazz e si affermavano personaggi come Eddie Condon, figura leggendaria che animava con i suoi gruppi le roventi notti di Chicago. Proprio da Chicago arriva la Gang di Josh Berman, cornettista, già membro della ...

Jeff Parker: Bright Light in Winter

Read "Bright Light in Winter" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il chitarrista Jeff Parker cerca di prenderci in contropiede con il tempo latino un po' buttato là nell'iniziale “Mainz," ma non dobbiamo lasciarci influenzare dal clima rilassato da pomeriggio assolato, perchè questa musica ha un anima e, ascolto dopo ascolto, la sua consistenza viene fuori e ci trascina nel suo mondo da garage band sonnolente e ...

Rob Mazurek Pulsar Quartet: Stellar Pulsations

Read "Stellar Pulsations" reviewed by Troy Collins


Originally schooled in the foundations of hard bop, cornetist Rob Mazurek, quickly surpassed the form's conventional limitations; his multihued electro-acoustic work over the past two decades has subsequently drawn inspiration from numerous genres besides jazz. Mazurek's unfettered creativity and stalwart leadership skills have thereby cemented his reputation as a key figure in the Chicago scene--primarily as ...

Josh Berman & His Gang: There Now

Read "There Now" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Josh Berman is a gambler. There Now initially gives the impression that the cornetist's reversion to the music of Eddie Condon and Pee Wee Russell is only a bluff. His gang of young Chicago improvisers weaves in and out of the 1920s, inserting free jazz passages and improvised duos that could not be anticipated in the ...

Jim Holman: Explosion!

Read "Explosion!" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Al suo esordio discografico, il pianista Jim Holman si racconta attraverso gli stretti e veloci flussi estemporanei dell'hard bop. L'album, registrato in due sessioni, si avvale della partecipazione separata di due sassofonisti, Richie Cole e Frank Catalano, e di un scambio nella sezione ritmica tra Rusty Jones e Rick Shandling alla batteria al fianco del contrabbassista ...

Jim Holman: Explosion!

Read "Explosion!" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Up-and-coming Chicago pianist Jim Holman channels all his musical influences into his debut recording without losing his own personal identity. The resulting Explosion! is an intriguing album that treads the border between hard bop and bolder styles. Recorded in two sessions, the disc features Holman in the company of more established musicians like ...

Jeff Parker: Bright Light in Winter

Read "Bright Light in Winter" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Chicago-based guitarist Jeff Parker has cut his proverbial teeth with the Association for Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and remains an active member of that group. His own work is very much in the spirit of the AACM's musical philosophy, but enhanced by his unique vision that draws from all sources of improvised music including but ...

Jason Stein: The Story This Time

Read "The Story This Time" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


"Background Music" ci elettrizza con il suo fast-tempo bruciante e con i percorsi zigzaganti di clarinetto basso e sax tenore. Sono nipotini di Lee Konitz e Warne Marsh, questi audaci Jason Stein e Keefe Jackson: ne trasformano le sonorità ma ne conservano l'aplomb intellettuale e il distacco da terra. Un po' tutto l'album, che alterna composizioni ...

Jason Adasiewicz's Sun Rooms: Spacer

Read "Spacer" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nelle mani di Adasiewicz il vibrafono sta conoscendo un'ulteriore rinascenza. Specie per la capacità del solista di utilizzare lo strumento sia in funzione ultra percussiva (vedi il lavoro nel gruppo Sound Is di Rob Mazurek) sia squisitamente melodica, jazzistica. Il trio Sun Rooms, qui alla seconda prova discografica dopo il primo disco omonimo, studia un possibile ...

Starlicker: Double Demon

Read "Double Demon" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Come un novello Re Mida, con la cornetta al posto dello scettro, Rob Mazurek da qualche anno trasforma in oro tutto quel che tocca. È successo all'Exploding Star Orchestra, in ogni sua forma e incarnazione, al quintetto Sound Is, al Chicago e al São Paulo Underground, miscelati o presi singolarmente; non poteva non succedere al trio ...
