The Milo Fine Free Jazz Ensemble featuring Steve Gnitka: Earlier Outbreaks of Iconoclasm

Read "Earlier Outbreaks of Iconoclasm" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Veterano del radicalismo improvvisativo britannico (fra i musicisti incrociati spicca il nome di Derek Bailey), trapiantato fin dagli anni Settanta a Minneapolis, Milo Fine è una figura periferica quanto preziosa, ellittica, con cui quest'assolutamente meritoria riesumazione ci consente di venire in contatto. Batterista dal 1961, quindi anche pianista e più tardi clarinettista, Fine è noto (si ...

Mary Halvorson: Meltframe

Read "Meltframe" reviewed by Stefano Merighi


Il primo disco di Mary Halvorson in solo sancisce la piena maturità acquisita dalla chitarrista bostoniana. Un'artista che folgora immediatamente oppure insospettisce, che appare come un'apprendista sempre in fase di studio oppure come una razionale dispensatrice di finezze da tempo metabolizzate. Fin dalle prime sortite in trio, o in gruppi più ...

Howard Riley: Discussions

Read "Discussions" reviewed by Roger Farbey


The reissue on CD of Howard Riley's Discussions is to be welcomed, since it only ever saw a highly limited pressing of 99 copies when first released on the Opportunity label in 1967. It is also an important historical artefact because it provides a tangible clue as to how Riley progressed, via the foresight of David ...

Fred Frith, Barry Guy: Backscatter Bright Blue

Read "Backscatter Bright Blue" reviewed by Vic Albani


Con la doverosa e ormai classica intraprendenza, l'intelligente Intakt elvetica ha chiamato due universi musicali distanti fra loro come quelli di Fred Frith e di Barry Guy nello studio di Willy Strehler per quella che potremmo sì definire una session d'improvvisazione ma che porta con sé anche un gradiente di creatività semplicemente straordinario. Quando c'è di ...

Wadada Leo Smith, fenomenologia di un maestro

Read "Wadada Leo Smith, fenomenologia di un maestro" reviewed by Luca Canini


Non tutti i maestri sono uguali. C'è chi sceglie di farsi da parte, riducendo al minimo gli sconfinamenti, gli azzardi, i contatti con situazioni potenzialmente rischiose. E c'è chi invece si ostina a cercare, a condividere; tenendo fede a quella che del jazz è la suprema vocazione: la fisiologica tendenza a includere, in un continuo sovrapporsi ...

Spontaneous Music Ensemble: Oliv & Familie

Read "Oliv & Familie" reviewed by Vic Albani


Quando ci si trova davanti alla recensione di un disco come questo o si decide per un agile volumetto di una trentina di pagine oppure sarebbe meglio lasciare correre. Dato che però gli amici di All about jazz si arrabbierebbero se propinassi loro una recensione di trenta pagine, scelgo la strada della pillola anche perché potrebbe ...

Henry Kaiser and Ray Russell: The Celestial Squid

Read "The Celestial Squid" reviewed by Roger Farbey


Jazz fusion guitarist Ray Russell and polystylistic experimentalist Henry Kaiser have never previously recorded together. Kaiser's recorded output is prodigious whereas Russell's is more modest. His debut album Turn Circle(1968) was swiftly followed by a clutch of critically acclaimed but more challenging ones such as Dragon Hill (1969) and Secret Asylum (1973) prior to Russell changing ...

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


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 ...
