John Abercrombie Quartet: 39 Steps
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il nuovo CD di John Abercrombie vede ancora un cambio di formazione nel suo quartetto. Al posto del sax tenore di Joe Lovano, presente nel precedente Within a Song ritorna il pianoforte, che mancava dai tempi del quartetto con Richie Beirach negli anni '80, affidato a Marc Copland, compagno di vecchia data del chitarrista qui al ...
Marc Sinan: Hasretim - Journey to Anatolia
by AAJ Italy Staff
Hasretim - Journey to Anatolia - An exploration of musical roots. Mai giudicare un libro dalla copertina, diceva quel tale. Ma in questo caso, titolo e sottotitolo dell'album, una volta appurato che Hasretim significa anelito, desiderio, dicono tutto. Vi si scopre l'esigenza, il bisogno, che Marc Sinan avverte di andare alla ricerca delle proprie radici, musicali ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: Shadow Man
by Troy Collins
New York-based alto saxophonist Tim Berne has long been regarded one of the Downtown scene's most forward-thinking bandleaders. Among his peers, no other artist has so often fostered the creative talent of subsequent generations; multi-instrumentalist Chris Speed, keyboardist Craig Taborn and drummer Jim Black all spent their formative years playing alongside the veteran saxophonist. Likewise, Berne ...
Ralph Towner / Wolfgang Muthspiel / Slava Grigoryan: Travel Guide
by John Kelman
Following an early series of ensemble releases for ECM (the label he's called home as a leader since 1973), Ralph Towner ushered in the new millennium by focusing on solo explorations with Anthem (2001) and Time Line (2006). Not that there's anything wrong with that, but after classic records like Solstice (1975) and Batik (1978), there ...
Zsofia Boros: En otra parte
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un giro nel mondo della chitarra classica in cinquanta minuti. Si potrebbe definire così il percorso sonoro di questo CD tra autori latino-americani, spagnoli e statunitensi. L'idea di base della chitarrista ungherese è speculare rispetto a quella di molti autori omaggiati (in primis Leo Brouwer), che avevano incorporato nel proprio retaggio afroamericano il mondo armonico euro-classico. ...
John Abercrombie Quartet: 39 Steps
by Andrew Luhn
Guitarist John Abercrombie has had a long and successful association with ECM records and for his latest release, 39 Steps, he completes his quartet with a piano. Abercombie had success with this format in the 1970s with Richie Beirach, George Mraz, and Peter Donald, but in the past 10 years his ECM releases have been more ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: Shadow Man
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ad un anno di distanza dal notevole debutto su ECM, Tim Berne's Snakeoil rilancia e raddoppia. Shadow Man, questo è il titolo, conferma le meraviglie del precedente album, senza trasformarsi in un sequel, seppur di alto livello, ma evolvendo in cosa nuova, a tratti spiazzante come è nelle corde e nella curiosità innata del suo leader. ...
Aaron Parks: Arborescence
by John Kelman
Slowly but surely, over the past several years, ECM Records has forged relationships with some of New York City's most impressive musicians--no mean feat given that, despite the Big Apple no longer being the jazz mecca it once was, it certainly remains a lightning rod for some of the world's most creative musicians, ranging from trumpeter ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: Shadow Man
by John Kelman
When Tim Berne released his ECM debut, Snakeoil in 2012, it quickly garnered some of the best reviews of the saxophonist/composer's career, ending up on a number of year-end best of lists. And why not? With a group already together for a couple years (as Los Totopos), Snakeoil represented a major step forward for Berne, both ...
39 Steps
by John Kelman
John Abercrombie has rarely played with pianists, at least in his own groups and throughout his extensive discography as a leader for ECM Records that began with the immediate classic, 1975's Timeless. Other than a brief reunion with that record's group for 1984's Night, the veteran guitarist has, in fact, only recorded with one other piano-based ...
