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 ...
Stefano Bollani – Hamilton de Holanda: O que serà
by AAJ Italy Staff
Edu Lobo e Chico Buarque, Tom Jobim e Pixinguinha, Baden Powell e Vinicius de Moraes, Ernesto Nazareth e ovviamente Hamilton de Holanda sono le firme che danno subito la temperatura (geografica ma non solo) di questo spettacolare CD che documenta - dal vivo ad Anversa nell'agosto 2012 - il sodalizio tra il mandolinista e Stefano Bollani: ...
Aaron Parks: Arborescence
by AAJ Italy Staff
Arborescence è il debutto su ECM di Aaron Parks, ancor giovane pianista di Seattle venuto alla ribalta appena diciottenne nel sestetto di Terence Blanchard. Registrato in solitudine tra le rinascimentali architetture della Mechanics Hall (Worcester, Massachusetts), l'album coniuga l'acustica calda e avvolgente della storica sala concerto con la cura maniacale del suono di Mr. Eicher. Nel ...
Carla Bley / Andy Sheppard / Steve Swallow: Trios
by Sammy Stein
In Lugano, Switzerland in 2012, pianist Carla Bley, saxophonist Andy Sheppard and bassist Steve Swallow were recorded, and the result is Trios (EMC 2013). This CD is atmospheric and energised. Included are new versions of Bley's original “Utviklingssang" ( “Development Song"), “Vashkar" and the suites “Les Trois Lagons" , “Wildlife," and “The Girl Who Cried Champagne." ...
Ralph Alessi: Baida
by John Kelman
With 2013 heading into fall, it's a good time to take stock of a label that has all too often been (falsely) accused of minimizing the country where jazz began. Excluding reissues, this year's ECM regular series releases represent about thirty percent American leadership; given jazz's increasingly global nature, hardly a bad number--and better still, when ...
Carla Bley / Andy Sheppard / Steve Swallow: Trios
by John Kelman
In a career more defined by memorable compositions than instrumental acumen, it's easy to forget that Carla Bley may not be the most virtuosic pianist on the planet, but she's a far more than capable one, as evidenced on duo recordings like Are We There Yet? (Watt, 1999), with life partner/bassist Steve Swallow, and Songs With ...
Stefano Bollani / Hamilton de Holanda: O que sera
by John Kelman
Intentional or not, ECM's simultaneously release of Iranian kamencheh master Kayhan Kalhor and Turkish baglama expert Erdal Erzincan's Kula Kulluk Yakişir Mi (2013) with O que será, which captures a positively electrifying 2012 performance by efferverscent Italian pianist Stefano Bollani and Brazilian bandolim virtuoso Hamilton de Holanda, does more than merely celebrate the intimate potential of ...
