Michael Mantler: For Two

Read "For Two" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se risulta evidente che è la puntigliosa scrittura di Mantler a determinare le strutture, le dinamiche e il senso musicale complessivo dei singoli episodi, bisognerebbe anche capire quali pronunce, enfasi, coloriture, vibrazioni sono concesse e dovute all'improvvisazione dei due interpreti. Ogni composizione (alcune di brevità aforistica quasi weberniana, altre sviluppate in modo più dilatato e narrativo) ...

Andy Sheppard / Michel Benita / Sebastian Rochford: Trio Libero

Read "Trio Libero" reviewed by John Kelman


Sometimes unexpected connections yield the most wonderful results. Saxophonist Andy Sheppard, bassist Michel Benita and drummer Sebastian Rochford all have more than enough cred to suggest capability in any context, but none of their individual pursuits could presage a collaboration like Trio Libero, quite possibly the finest saxophone trio recordings of the new millennium, and one ...

Chick Corea - Stefano Bollani: Orvieto

Read "Orvieto" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Questo CD, registrato ad Orvieto il 30 dicembre 2010 nell'ambito di Umbria Jazz Winter, ci riporta un duo senza dubbio indovinato e un concerto memorabile. Non so a chi sia da attribuire l'idea di far suonare assieme Bollani e Corea (e quello umbro non è stato il loro unico incontro); sta di fatto che se l'operazione ...

Andy Sheppard - Michel Benita - Sebastian Rochford: Trio Libero

Read "Trio Libero" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Trio Libero, questo è il titolo dell'album appena uscito per l'ECM scaturito dalle menti di Andy Sheppard, Michel Benita e Sebastian Rochford: una formazione libera di suonare, libera di improvvisare, libera di emozionare. Un album dove i suoni, le pause ed i silenzi sono amalgamati in egual misura nel più classico degli stili ECM: un lavoro ...

Gianluigi Trovesi - Gianni Coscia: Frère Jacques. Round About Offenbach

Read "Frère Jacques. Round About Offenbach" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dice bene Umberto Eco, nelle note di questo ultimo lavoro della premiata coppia Trovesi-Coscia: Frère Jacques. Round About Offenbach è una vera “meditazione musicale," condotta in coppia da due amici che prendono spunto da un autore classico, ma soprattutto da un protagonista della cultura nella quale hanno ricevuto la loro educazione musicale, per divagare dialogando negli ...

Tord Gustavsen Quartet: The Well

Read "The Well" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Pur restando coerente con un'estetica che l'ha portato a diventare uno degli gli artisti di punta dell'ECM, il pianista norvegese ha da qualche anno accantonato il trio per varare un quartetto, con l'ingresso del sassofonista Tore Brunborg. L'occasione è stata la malattia del bassista Harald Johnsen (scomparso lo scorso anno a soli 41 anni) ma, come ...

Tord Gustavsen Quartet: The Well

Read "Tord Gustavsen Quartet: The Well" reviewed by John Kelman


Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen may not have attained the level of success, say, of a Keith Jarrett or Chick Corea with his 2003 ECM debut, Changing Places, but it clearly struck a popular chord, as well as garnering no shortage of critical acclaim. Subsequent touring around the world, including a number of North American dates, honed ...

Jon Balke Batagraf: Say And Play

Read "Say And Play" reviewed by John Kelman


He may be nowhere near a household name in North America, but elsewhere-- in particular in his native Norway--pianist Jon Balke's influence continues to grow. That he's better known for the music he writes--and the contexts in which he delivers it--shouldn't be taken as a negative, either; only that, with projects like the brass-heavy Oslo 13, ...
