Markku Ounaskari - Samuli Mikkonen - Per Jørgensen: Kuára. Psalms and Folk Songs

Read "Kuára. Psalms and Folk Songs" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Kuára è un lavoro molto particolare, come talvolta avviene per i progetti ECM. Per quanto infatti l'organico sia tradizionalmente di ambito jazzistico e i tre protagonisti siano tutti musicisti schiettamente jazz, la musica in programma è invece di estrazione folk - più esattamente, si tratta di musica popolare di Karelia, Udmurtia e Vepsia, territori di cultura ...

Nik Bartsch's Ronin: Llyrìa

Read "Llyrìa" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Prosegue l'opera del pianista svizzero Nik Bärtsch attraverso i suoi “perfetti" moduli compositivi, dopo i precedenti Holon (2008) e Stoa, sempre per la ECM. Forte di un suono orchestrale denso e preciso, i Ronin di Nik Bärtsch sono una band che suona uno spartito accuratamente preparato. La pre-scrittura dei moduli non lascia nulla al caso, lo ...

Giya Kancheli: Themes from the Songbook

Read "Themes from the Songbook" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Questo particolarissimo CD con musiche del compositore georgiano Giya Kancheli ha una curiosa genesi. Nasce infatti dalla pubblicazione, avvenuta nel 2009, del suo songbook intitolato Simple Music for Piano. 33 Miniatures from Music for Stage and Screen, nel quale Kancheli ha raccolto melodie “d'occasione," scritte per accompagnare appunto rappresentazioni teatrali od opere cinematografiche. Come egli stesso ...

Paolo Fresu / A Filetta Corsican Voices / Daniele di Bonaventura: Mistico Mediterraneo

Read "Mistico Mediterraneo" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

At a time when cross-pollination has become the new musical evolution, ECM Records remains at the vanguard. Whether blending music of Tunisian origins with European impressionistic concerns and hints of New World groove on oudist Anouar Brahem's The Astounding Eyes of Rita (2009), or marrying Persian percussion with Baroque instrumentation and Fourth World improvisation on keyboardist ...

Trygve Seim - Andreas Utnem: Purcor - Songs for Saxophone and Piano

I due, nel 1997, ebbero occasione di suonare assieme nella chiesa in cui Utnem lavorava; l'incontro ebbe esiti interessanti e venne poi ripetuto ...

Roscoe Mitchell and The Note Factory: Far Side

Read "Far Side" reviewed by Charles Walker

by Charles Walker

In his recent book about the AACM, A Power Stronger Than Itself (University of Chicago, 2007), trombonist/composer/critic George Lewis makes a serious, thoroughly researched argument for its members creating their own lineage of American “experimental music," influenced as much by pan-African musics or juke joint jam sessions as by European high art music, and yet beholden ...

Norma Winstone - Klaus Gesing - Glauco Venier: Stories Yet to Tell

Read "Stories Yet to Tell" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

A due anni da Distances, torna il trio di Norma Winstone, con Glauco Venier al pianoforte e Klaus Gesing alle ance. Il lavoro è una naturale continuazione del precedente, del quale conserva non solo atmosfere e sonorità, ma anche sostanzialmente il repertorio: i testi sono quasi senza eccezioni della Winstone, le musiche in parte originali (di ...
