John Surman: Saltash Bells
by John Kelman
There's no denying the “the sound of surprise" of group recordings; working solo, however, provides its own possibilities, despite meaning different things to different people. Pianist Keith Jarrett views it as a means for pulling form from the ether: one man, one piano, in real time. Multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus, on the other hand, considers it a ...
Year of the Snake
by John Kelman
When a group of musicians works together more often in extracurricular configurations with other leaders, what do they do when they come together for their own project? In the case of saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard-- who, individually and collectively, have worked with everyone from pianist Brad Mehldau and guitarist Kurt ...

Giovanna Pessi - Susanna Wallumrød: If Grief Could Wait
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tra le numerose, non etichettabili sperimentazioni vocali tra classica, contemporanea, folk e pop che ECM sta promuovendo e mettendo in catalogo negli ultimi anni, questa a firma dell'arpista svizzera Giovanna Pessi e della cantante norvegese Susanna Wallumrød è sicuramente tra le più riuscite e interessanti. La Wallumrød, sorella del noto tastierista e compositore Christian, è cantante ...
Steve Kuhn: Wisteria
by John Kelman
Context, they say, is everything. With nearly 50 albums as a leader in a career that now spans 55 years--and stints with everyone from saxophonist Stan Getz and flugelhornist Art Farmer to trumpeter Kenny Dorham...even a brief stint with saxophonist John Coltrane--pianist Steve Kuhn's best and most varied work has been across the now-ten albums recorded ...
Dino Saluzzi - Anja Lechner - Felix Saluzzi: Navidad de los Andes
by AAJ Italy Staff
La regione di La Puna, nelle Ande. Quegli altipiani sospesi tra cielo e terra, tra vulcani e ampi silenzi, con la natura a farla da padrone. E la delicatezza di un bimbo, il miracolo della nascita, la festa del Natale. Questo lo scenario che fa da sfondo a “Navidad de los Andes," album in cui sin ...
Masabumi Kikuchi Trio: Sunrise
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Masabumi Kikuchi recorded a session with the late trumpeter Miles Davis in 1978 that was never released. Had it been, the Japanese musician could perhaps have been slung by Davis' Jovian presence/influence to greater fame. As it is, Kikuchi has maintained a career as an iconoclastic artist, collaborating with some of the best jazz players. ...
Masabumi Kikuchi Trio: Sunrise
by John Kelman
With a surprising number of recordings coming out that represent some of drummer Paul Motian's final work before passing unexpectedly in the fall of 2011, few have created as deeply personal a tribute as the liner notes to Japanese pianist Masabumi Kikuchi's Sunrise. “Suddenly Paul was gone. He left without warning," Kikuchi writes, as he recounts ...
Billy Hart: All Our Reasons
by John Kelman
In a career spanning work with saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and trumpeter Miles Davis to pianists Tommy Flanagan and Marian McPartland, drummer Billy Hart has pretty much seen it all, from the most centrist mainstream to the outer reaches of free playing and beyond. But as he approaches 72 later in 2012, there's one thing Hart hasn't ...
Anders Jormin: Ad Lucem
by John Kelman
It may be frustrating when an artist releases albums infrequently, but when quality trumps quantity all is forgiven. Swedish bassist Anders Jormin's discography as a leader remains small--just eleven records as a leader since his auspicious 1988 Dragon debut, Eight Pieces. Still, with a high profile résumé sporting fellow ECM label mates such as pianist Bobo ...
