Dom Minasi

Read "Dom Minasi" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


01. Thelonius Monk - The Columbia Years '62 -'68 (Columbia). La musica contenuta in questo cofanetto è più moderna di molte cose che si ascoltano oggi. La versione di “Don’t Blame Me" qui riprodotta ha formato il mio modo di intendere l’armonia. Ascoltare questi dischi è come rivedere un vecchio amico con il quale sei cresciuto ...

Dom Minasi: The Vampire's Revenge

Read "The Vampire's Revenge" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La linea rossa che separa composizione ed improvvisazione è spesso sottile, ma in questo caso è davvero impalpabile. Dom Minasi è maestro del caos organizzato, del chaos in time, come lo definisce lo stesso chitarrista. Una forma musicale (ammesso che forma sia il termine corretto) che concede ampia libertà ai musicisti, ma al tempo stesso incastona ...

Dom Minasi: Vampires, Chaos in Time, and Total Control

Read "Dom Minasi: Vampires, Chaos in Time, and Total Control" reviewed by Paul Olson


Even in the notoriously difficult jazz music business, Dom Minasi's had a rough time of it. The 63-year-old New-York-born-and-bred guitarist/composer was playing in a jazz trio by the time he was 15 and had an extremely full teaching/gigging schedule up until 1973, he was signed to Blue Note Records. Unfortunately, the George Butler-led 1970s Blue Note ...

Read "The Vampire's Revenge" reviewed by Jim Santella


With an eerie program that follows from Dom Minasi's impressions of Interview with the Vampire, a novel by Anne Rice, an ensemble of improvising artists supplies heightened emotions and powerful sonic storms in empathy. The leader's guitar can be heard leading with passionate strokes as his band of creative instrumentalists stirs up a maelstrom of activity. ...

Dom Minasi: The Vampire's Revenge

Read "The Vampire's Revenge" reviewed by Jochem van Dijk


Dom Minasi's The Vampire's Revenge is not just a record, it's an event. 22 of New York's craftiest improvisers, scattered over groupings varying in size from two to thirteen musicians, perform ten of Minasi's adventurous and well-wrought compositions. Sometimes, as on “The Seduction" a short, returning motif alternates with free improv sections. More often, improvised and ...

With The Vampire's Revenge, guitarist Dom Minasi goes for it. This two-disc, 112-minute set takes its inspiration from a seemingly unlikely source--the vampire novels of Anne Rice--and results in one of the most ambitious and best free jazz outings of recent years.
