Gary Peacock / Marilyn Crispell: Azure

Read "Azure" reviewed by John Kelman


Who leads a project is often nothing more than a matter of optics. Bassist Gary Peacock's name may come first on the cover of Azure, but there's no doubt that this is a collaborative affair, with pianist Marilyn Crispell an equal participant; the two even co-produced the recording, with label head Manfred Eicher nowhere to be ...

Charles Lloyd: Quartets

Read "Quartets" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Gli anni sessanta sono stati quelli di un quartetto formidabile - l'album Forest Flower registrato dal vivo al Monterey Jazz Festival del 1966 fu tra i primi a raggiungere il milione di copie vendute - che avrebbe fatto conoscere in Europa un giovane pianista di nome Keith Jarrett. Gli anni settanta lo vedono dapprima abbandonare la ...

Eleni Karaindrou: Concert in Athens

Read "Concert in Athens" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il concerto ateniese del Novembre 2010 che costituisce il nuovo CD della compositrice e pianista greca Eleni Karaindrou è caratterizzato dalla riunione con il sassofonista Jan Garbarek, che aveva prestato il timbro del suo strumento a due delle prime colonne sonore realizzate dalla Karaindrou per il regista Theo Angelopoulos, “Il volo" e “Paesaggio nella nebbia" (rispettivamente ...

Arvo Pärt: Adam's Lament

Read "Adam's Lament" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Continua la stretta associazione tra il compositore estone Arvo Pärt e l'etichetta tedesca ECM, che a partire dal 1984, anno della pubblicazione del suo Tabula Rasa, gli ha dato una notorietà internazionale tale da renderlo uno dei musicisti contemporanei più presenti nei cataloghi discografici e nei programmi delle più importanti stagioni concertistiche mondiali. Come consuetudine, la ...

Julia Hulsmann Quartet: In Full View

Read "In Full View" reviewed by John Kelman


There's no denying the benefit of stable longevity, but neither is there anything wrong with change. Following three ACT recordings that featured her trio--together since Scattering Poems (ACT, 2003)--supporting a series of vocalists, Julia Hülsmann moved to ECM, where the pianist was afforded greater freedom to more fully explore her trio's potential on 2008's The End ...

Quercus: June Tabor - Iain Ballamy - Huw Warren

Read "June Tabor - Iain Ballamy - Huw Warren" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Anche se non nuova alla cosa, solo alla ECM poteva venire in mente una scelta che apparirebbe superflua ma che ovviamente a nessun produttore discografico viene mai in mente: far incontrare il delicato mondo del folk storico britannico con i sapori del jazz minimalista e da camera. Il risultato? E come dovrebbe essere se non emozionale, ...

Susanne Abbuehl: The Gift

Read "Susanne Abbuehl: The Gift" reviewed by John Kelman


There was a time when artists were expected to release a record every year--sometimes a very good thing, as there was so much development going on that there was plenty to document; other times a less-than-ideal situation, as some artists simply didn't have that much music in them, so releasing albums too frequently often worked against--rather ...

Eivind Aarset: Dream Logic

Read "Dream Logic" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dopo oltre 15 anni dal debutto su ECM al fianco del trombettista Nils Petter Molvaer nel suo folgorante Khmer, seguito da diverse collaborazioni di prestigio in album di Marilyn Mazur, Arild Andersen, Jon Hassell, Andy Sheppard e Food, arriva finalmente il momento dell'esordio da titolare sull'etichetta bavarese per il chitarrista norvegese Eivind Aarset, che segue i ...

Giovanni Guidi Trio: City of Broken Dreams

Read "City of Broken Dreams" reviewed by John Kelman


It seemed inevitable. After working with Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava on 2013's Michael Jackson tribute, Rava on the Dance Floor, and 2011's more intimate Tribe, it should come as no surprise that pianist Giovanni Guidi--the only connecting thread between those two records (other than, of course, Rava)--should find himself with an opportunity to make his own ...

Nicolas Masson / Roberto Pianca / Emanuele Maniscalco: Third Reel

Read "Third Reel" reviewed by John Kelman


Few would argue that, while the standard touchstones of contemporary jazz--names like saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Charles Mingus, and trumpeter Miles Davis--remain amongst the many cited when contemporary artists are asked for their influences, younger influences have also emerged in the new millennium, names like saxophonist Chris Potter, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and pianist ...
