Read "Hot'n'Heavy - Live at the Ascension Loft [CD - DVD]" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Protagonista è il percussionista Kahil El’Zabar con il suo Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, catturato nella insostituibile dimensione dell'Ascension Loft, spazio in cui El’Zabar raduna periodicamente - lo racconta ...

Chicago Underground Trio: Chronicle [CD - DVD]

Read "Chronicle [CD - DVD]" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Filmare della musica da vivo e aggiungervi un apporto creativo è cosa maledettamente difficile. La cosa più ostica è trovare innanzitutto l'equilibrio tra la documentazione di ciò che viene girato e l'idea originale del filmmaker. Ripreso allo Spazio Culturale Tedesco di Chicago, questo nuovo lavoro [in DVD, ma anche in CD] del Chicago Underground Trio [che ...

Joseph Jarman: As If It Were the Seasons

Read "As If It Were the Seasons" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nella discografia di Joseph Jarman, As If It Were the Seasons occupa un posto tutto sommato di transizione, tra l'esordio di Song for (1966), le prime tracce incise con Lester Bowie, Roscoe Mitchell e Malachi Favors per la Nessa e il definitivo ingresso nell'Art Ensemble. Unitosi alla Experimental Band di Muhal Richard Abrams nel 1961 e ...

Kahil El'Zabar's Infinity Orchestra: Transmigration

Read "Transmigration" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Kahil El'Zabar is a man of many inventions. His music has a pure passion that transcends the mundane. He lifts compositions with imagination into realms that are at once startling and captivating. He manifests those traits on this splendid recording where his compositions are zapped into a three-dimensional impact by Ernest Dawkins (alto saxophone and percussion), ...

Read "Live at The Barrel, 1952" reviewed by Jim Santella

Kahil El'Zabar's Infinity Orchestra: Transmigration

Read "Transmigration" reviewed by Nic Jones


To date, drummer/bandleader Kahil El'Zabar has had his music and ensembles extensively documented. That endeavor culminates in this title and it's nothing short of revelatory in as much as it's nothing less than notification of his art moving to another level. This impression is underscored by the fact that Transmigration marks a fundamental break with the ...

Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson: Kidney Stew Is Fine

Read "Kidney Stew Is Fine" reviewed by Nic Jones


Although he started out exclusively as an alto saxophonist in the ranks of Milt Larkins' band back in the late 1930s, Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson was both an accomplished horn player and a blues shouter, more in the manner of Jimmy Witherspoon than Big Joe Turner. This date was recorded in France right at the end of ...

Joseph Jarman: As If It Were The Seasons

Read "As If It Were The Seasons" reviewed by Mark Corroto


If you walk into a grove of redwood trees in Northern California you will come upon a cathedral of trees. These living/breathing beings, some nearly 300 feet tall, may have been standing there together for the last thousand or two thousand years. They have been very quietly affecting the ecology of the west since before Europeans ...
