Carlos Nathaniel Ward: libertà, spiritualità e rigore
by Gaetano Fiore
“Arte e Jazz? Non facile e acritica gestualità ma concentrato di analitica ponderatezza". In occasione di un mio omaggio pittorico espositivo a Bill Dixon a San Vincenzo (LI) nel 2010, Libero Farnè scrive la suddetta frase che ben fa riflettere su quanto sia importante procedere con “lentezza" per tradurre i concetti di libertà, spiritualità ...
Giovanni Maier: 5 album tra contrabbasso e violoncello, improvvisazione e standard
by Neri Pollastri
Fortemente impegnato nella didattica, coinvolto in alcune formazioni importanti e di lungo periodo --Enten Eller, Eternal Love --e in vari progetti più ristretti, il contrabbassista Giovanni Maier conserva tuttavia un'autonoma vena produttiva che gli permette di registrare ogni anno diversi album in formazioni estemporanee, editi da varie label e dalla sua stessa etichetta indipendente, Palomar Records. ...
Albert Ayler: Live Greenwich Village To Love Cry Revisited
by John Eyles
When Ezz-thetics' previous Albert Ayler album More Lost Performances Revisited was released in December 2023, it felt as if it might be the label's final Ayler release; not only was it the eleventh of the series but, rather than featuring an Ayler album, it comprised recordings of significant points in Ayler's career such as his playing ...
Albert Ayler: More Lost Performances Revisited
by Chris May
A state-of-the-art sonic restoration of obscure but historically important Albert Ayler material by Switzerland's ezz-thetics label, which with its parent label, Hat Hut, has been creating an audiophile archive of Ayler recordings with the support of his estate since 1978. All too often, “more" in an album title means “Beware: barrel scraping in ...
Luís Vicente 4tet: House In The Valley
by Mark Corroto
There is a synergy in simplicity and, with the Luís Vicente 4tet, a simplicity which comes from the synergistic effects of this unpretentious quartet. The four musicians--Portuguese composer, leader & trumpeter Luís Vicente, Dutch drummer Onno Govaert, and the Americans, tenor saxophonist John Dikeman and bassist Luke Stewart--assembled for a series of concerts in Portugal in ...
Ståhls Trio: Källtorp Sessions Volume Two
by Mark Corroto
This is the third release by vibraphonist Mattias Ståhl, bassist Joe Williamson and drummer Christopher Cantillo and also the second release to come from the trio's 2017 studio recordings. Källtorp Sessions Volume Two adds trombonist Mats Äleklint on two tracks with Ståhl on soprano saxophone from what one assumes is an additional 2018 studio session.
Chris May’s Best Releases Of 2020
by Chris May
Not the best year for live gigs in London, but Dele Sosimi's Afrobeat Orchestra just made it under the wire, lighting up the Jazz Cafe in late January. Rather like Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Sosimi's band has form as an incubator of young talent. A recent star in the making was trumpeter Ife Ogunjobi, who has ...
Emma-Jean Thackray: Um Yang
by Chris May
Right now, in summer 2020, using new and recent releases as the yardstick, the two most exciting musicians on London's alternative jazz scene are trumpeters. One is Laura Jurd, whose recent To The Earth (Edition) is a high-water mark for her electro-acoustic band, Dinosaur. The other is Emma-Jean Thackray, whose EP Um Yang is also remarkable. ...
Paul Flaherty / Randall Colbourne / James Chumley Hunt / Mike Roberson: Borrowed From Children
by Mark Corroto
Let's misquote a Rolling Stones' lyric here, with the music of Paul Flaherty “you can always get what you want," and maybe to a greater extent, “you get what you need." For more decades than he might want to count, the saxophonist has been making his self-described 'hated music.' We're talking hate as in a bugaboo, ...
