Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble: The Moment's Energy

Read "The Moment's Energy" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Tra i progetti di Evan Parker, l'Electro-Acoustic Ensemble riveste un ruolo di crescente centralità come “luogo" di sperimentazione, non solo perché l'organico si va progressivamente allargando - quattordici sono i musicisti coinvolti in questo nuovo disco registrato in occasione del Festival di Huddersfield del novembre 2007 - ma anche per il continuo ridefinirsi del rapporto tra ...

Stefano Bollani: Stone in the Water

Read "Stone in the Water" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Quando Bollani registra per la ECM, le cose si mettono serie. Non che gli manchi d'improvviso la goliardia, ma perché è quasi inevitabile addentrarsi nel mondo sonoro di Manfred Eicher senza rimanerne influenzati, nel suono e nel modo d'intendere l'esperienza musicale.

Carla Bley: Carla's Christmas Carols

Read "Carla's Christmas Carols" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Carla's Christmas Carols? For many, the idea of their favorite jazz artist releasing an album of seasonal songs usually smells of crass commercialism or pure pandering, but leave it to pianist/composer/arranger Carla Bley to produce an album that's as reverentially in the spirit of the season as it gets, while being musically deep enough to fit ...

Keith Jarrett: Testament - Paris / London

Read "Testament - Paris / London" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

For fans, music critics, and musicians, the music of pianist Keith Jarrett can be like a dopamine release in the brain. Like any pleasurable activity --sex, drugs, food--listening to Jarrett's music releases a neurotransmitter chemical in the brain that reinforces the pleasure systems of the body.

Anouar Brahem: The Astounding Eyes of Rita

Read "The Astounding Eyes of Rita" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

The Astounding Eyes of Rita rings to life on four resonant notes from Tunisian oudist Anouar Brahem, joined in short order by the deep, rich tone of Klaus Gesing's bass clarinet. The music sounds ancient, like something from an old civilization, full of past truths that still hold true. Manfred Eicher, the man in ...
