Emanem Tidies Up
by John Eyles
As well as releasing contemporary recordings of improv, Martin Davidson's Emanem label has played a vital role in documenting the history of the music by releasing, re-releasing or re-curating recordings that are decades old. In the process, Davidson has sometimes worked tirelessly to improve the sound quality of recordings that were never intended for release, and ...
Jeff Parker: Slight Freedom
by Dave Wayne
One is tempted to think of Jeff Parker as the first guitar anti-hero. He's a subtle player, first and foremost, not given to showy pyrotechnics and rapid-fire flights of plectral fancy. His chameleonic, almost self-effacing, presence on recordings by Tortoise, Joey DeFrancesco, Isotope 217, Fred Anderson, the Brian Blade Fellowship, Peter Erskine, Nicole Mitchell, Yo La ...
Mats Gustafsson
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Devono giudicarlo gli altri. La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me La dedizione e il fuoco. Come musicista, il momento in cui sono stato più felice Sempre il momento che verrà. Come musicista, il mio principale difetto
Borbetomagus: The Eastcote Studios Session
by John Eyles
Borbetomagus--Donald Miller on electric guitar, Don Dietrich and Jim Sauter on (tenor) saxophones--have been together since the late 70's. They soon established their own distinctive sound and working methods that suited the unconventional instrumentation and gave the trio a strong identity. With Dietrich and Sauter owing a debt to such free saxophonists as Albert Ayler, John ...
Kris Davis: Duopoly
by Stefano Merighi
Per valutare l'arte pianistica di Kris Davis si ascolti l'incipit di Aeriol Piano, album solitario di qualche anno fa. La decostruzione e conseguente reinvenzione dell'usurata “All the Things You Are" rivelavano un folgorante talento di sintesi, di rara sensibilità; per apprezzarne invece la sottigliezza di orchestratrice è utile tornare a Novela, fantastico disco a nome Tony ...
Jeff Parker: Reinventing Tradition
by Jakob Baekgaard
Is there such a thing as a Chicago sound? Back in the year 2000, a compilation was released that tried to portray a new and exciting musical scene. The album was called Chicago 2018... It's Gonna Change and it highlighted a brilliant mixture of free jazz, electronica, post-rock, art pop and experimental folk music. Of the ...
Joe Morris: Shock Axis
by Mark Corroto
I am applying for a NEA grant to test my theory that you can judge an album by it's cover. For instance, The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St (RSR, 1972) and The Clash's London Calling (CBS, 1979) are two albums where you just knew what to expect by gazing at the covers. In the jazz ...
Take Five With Charles Chace
by AAJ Staff
About Charles Chace: I'm a contemporary artist and musician from Massachusetts. I've shown my art in galleries in New York City, Miami and North Carolina. My recent works consist of a multimedia installation that included paper collage, video, and manipulatable noise machines. My most recent visual work includes a series of portrait paintings that ...
Garrison Fewell/Gianni Mimmo: Flawless Dust
by Mark Corroto
With the passing of guitarist Garrison Fewell in the summer of 2015, the jazz world lost an educator, author and an extraordinary talent. Now that we can no longer exchange emails, or receive a music lesson from him, we still can explore his thoughts, via a fascinating book Outside Music, Inside Voices (Saturn University Press, 2014), ...
Five New From Konvoj Records
by Mark Corroto
If you are a free jazz fanatic, you probably look for those out-of-print vinyl offerings from labels like Hat Hut, FMP, Sonet, and El Saturn Records. Sadly, you would have to be either independently wealthy or Mats Gustafsson to acquire the rarest of the rare music. But take heart, there are small labels producing the free ...
