Marilyn Mazur: Celestial Circle
by John Kelman
Celestial Circle might appear to be a conventional, piano trio-based vocal record on the surface, but it's an impression quickly dismissed with a closer look at its participants. Marilyn Mazur knows her way around a drum kit in no uncertain terms, but it's her more integrated approach, with an oft-times massive array of percussion--gongs, wood blocks, ...
Enrico Rava Quintet: Tribe
by John Kelman
Plenty has happened since Enrico Rava last recorded with his working quintet. All but the piano chair remained stable between Easy Living (ECM, 2004) and The Words And The Days (ECM, 2007), but trombonist Gianluca Petrella is the sole remnant on Tribe. “Change is good," they say, and if the rest of Rava's quintet consists of ...
Mathias Eick: Skala
by AAJ Italy Staff
La storia e l'estetica della ECM sono ben più vaste e complesse di quanto una riduttiva percezione possa evidenziare. Non è certo questa l'occasione per affrontare un tema così impegnativo, ma se dovessi inquadrare questo CD nella produzione dell'etichetta tedesca, lo identificherei come un ritorno ad una delle matrici originarie, come una rivisitazione attualizzata di quell'approccio ...
Nils Okland - Sigbjorn Apeland: Lysoen. Hommage à Ole Bull
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lysoen. Hommage à Ole Bull è un lavoro tutto interno alla tradizione norvegese che piacerà senz'altro a coloro che ne sono appassionati. Lysoen è, infatti, il nome di un'isola norvegese, ma anche quello di una stupenda villa residenza del violinista e virtuoso Ole Bull, sua fonte di ispirazione per numerose composizioni e sede nella quale sono ...
Manfred Eicher: Through the Lens
by John Kelman
It begins in silence, always silence. Since the 1990s, all ECM recordings begin with five seconds of silence, and so, too, do directors Norbert Wiedmer and Peter Guyer open their feature film on the heralded German record label and its enigmatic founder, Sounds and Silence: Travels with Manfred Eicher. As longtime ECM recording artist Keith Jarrett's ...
Dino Saluzzi / Anja Lechner / Felix Saluzzi: Navidad de los Andes
by John Kelman
Most musicians work with a wide range of other collaborators over time, but only a precious few become so empathically close as to engender ongoing relationships. It's no surprise that Argentinean bandoneonist Dino Saluzzi has continued to work with his brother, saxophonist/clarinetist Felix, their genetic bond clearly apparent on Dino Saluzzi Group recordings like Juan Condori ...

Marilyn Mazur: Celestial Circle
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quello firmato dalla percussionista Marilyn Mazur è il classico album ECM, curatissimo nel dettaglio timbrico, pieno di sfumature e sottintesi, carico di leggerezza espressiva d'irresistibile appeal. In primo piano la voce eterea, dolce e cristallina, di Josefine Cronholm, un tratto di profonda femminilità che determina l'atmosfera generale di Celestial Circle, lavoro composto da quattordici tracce capaci ...
Charles Lloyd / Maria Farantouri: Athens Concert
by Ian Patterson
What might on the surface appear as a meeting of disparate minds--jazz with Byzantine airs--ignores the fact that multi-reed/woodwind player Charles Lloyd has been embracing the music of the world for half a century with singular conviction and grace. Greek classical singer Maria Farantouri is herself a musical adventurer and risk taker; over the course of ...
Chick Corea / Stefano Bollani: Orvieto
by John Kelman
If the combination of two chordal instruments--guitar with piano, or vibraphone with guitar, say--can prove a significant challenge in improvised music, then surely the piano duo is the most demanding of all. No other instrument has a seven-and-a-quarter octave range, played with eight fingers and two thumbs, creating far greater risk of harmonic, melodic and rhythmic ...
