Keefe Jackson’s Likely So: A Round Goal

Read "A Round Goal" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Chicago based multi-instrumentalist and composer Keefe Jackson's intriguingly innovative live album A Round Goal is a modern choral symphony of sorts. Recorded during the Jazzwerkstatt festival in Berne Switzerland on February 20, 2013 Jackson utilizes, in lieu of human voices, woodwinds of various ranges creating brilliantly dramatic music. Western classical influences are apparent, throughout. ...

Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Electro Acoustic Orchestra: The Space Between

Read "The Space Between" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Musical adventurer Rob Mazurek's The Space Between is a provocative and heady fusion of sight and sound. The double disc set includes an audio CD and a DVD containing performance and multimedia artist Marianne M. Kim's haunting, abstract video accompaniment to the music. The forty-minute suite is divided conveniently, and perhaps whimsically, into eight ...

Frank Rosaly: Cicada Music

Read "Cicada Music" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Cicada Music è il debutto da leader del batterista Frank Rosaly, ma a giudicare dal risultato sembra il lavoro di un esperto compositore e di un navigato arrangiatore. Delle dieci composizioni dell'album quattro sono frammenti, intermezzi sonori dai colori più disparati - si va da ancestrali ritmi africani al tintinnare ossessivo di metalli - che mettono ...

Rob Mazurek Exploding Star Electro Acoustic Ensemble: The Space Between

Read "The Space Between" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nella propria vita, a mano a mano che un artista “vero" cresce (in ogni senso), porta con sé la complessità del proprio essere, comprese le essenze creative che muovono la sua attività. Se poi, come Rob Mazurek, ha la fortuna di poter riuscire a vivere mondi e culture artistiche diverse (nel suo caso Chicago, la tradizione, ...

Nicole Mitchell: Engraved in the Wind

Read "Engraved in the Wind" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nuovo lavoro per la quarantaseienne flautista di Syracuse (ma com'è noto chicagoana d'adozione, e dal 2011 docente alla California University di Irvine) per la Rogue Art, stavolta senza accompagnamento alcuno. Vi aleggia un incedere generalmente limpido, netto, timbricamente prezioso, che ora sposa la causa del solo puro e altrove opta invece per la sovraincisione. Il canonico ...

Kahil El'Zabar: What It Is!

Read "What It Is!" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


I gruppi guidati dal batterista e percussionista dell'AACM Kahil El'Zabar in quattro decenni d'attività (l'Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, il Ritual Trio, il sodalizio con David Murray e formazioni coi massimi esponenti del free e post free) hanno avuto il pregio di esaltare lo spirito della Great Black Music, con particolare riguardo alle lezioni di John Coltrane e ...

Nicole Mitchell’s Ice Crystal: Aquarius

Read "Aquarius" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dei tanti progetti della flautista Nicole Mitchell - oggi tornata in quella California in cui è cresciuta, ma sempre legata a doppio filo con la scena di Chicago - il quartetto Ice Crystal mi sembra tra quelli più immediati e stimolanti. La formazione, specialmente per l'abbinamento di flauto e vibrafono, non può che evocare riferimenti precisi, ...

Frank Rosaly: Cicada Music

Read "Cicada Music" reviewed by Mark Corroto


What to expect, when you are expecting a drummer-led recording? Certainly, the mix should include the drums more upfront, or perhaps longer solos? If so, then you might be taken aback by Frank Rosaly's first official release as a band leader. The cornerstone of many innovative bands like Jason Stein Quartet, Valentine Trio, Rolldown, Scorch Trio, ...

Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Electro Acoustic Orchestra: The Space Between

Read "The Space Between" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Like a painting by Mark Rothko, whose canvasses contain rectangular fields of color and light that convey more than a visual experience, the music of Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Electro Acoustic Orchestra transcends a mere audio happening. Rothko's paintings exceeded the aesthetic confines of their canvasses into a spiritual and psychological realm. Likewise, Mazurek makes visually ...

Ernest Dawkins: Afro Straight

Read "Afro Straight" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ecco un disco tutto sommato insolito, non facile da decifrare: si tratta infatti di una reinterpretazione di una parte della tradizione afroamericana da parte di un musicista non più giovane, appartenente ad una scuola solitamente associata all'avanguardia. La città in questione, dove questo CD è stato registrato nell'ottobre 2010 e nell'aprile 2012, è Chicago, luogo generatore ...
