Wolfert Brederode Quartet: Currents
by AAJ Italy Staff
In questo disco del pianista olandese Wolfert Brederode, noto soprattutto per le sue collaborazioni con Susanne Abbuehl (clicca qui per leggere la recensione di April), c’è il nord e ci sono le rarefatte atmosfere in stile ECM ma, grazie alla presenza del clarinettista svizzero Claudio Puntin, c’è di più: c’è la lezione, splendida, del recentemente scomparso ...
Norma Winstone: Distances
by C. Michael Bailey
Practice brings one closer to perfection. British singer Norma Winstone has enjoyed a very prolific 35-plus year career that has been divided among a number of recording labels. Her recordings with John Taylor and Kenny Wheeler in the form of the group Azimuth brought her international exposure and recognition. These formats were the unusual combination of ...
The Hilliard Ensemble: Thomas Tallis / Christopher Tye / John Sheppard: Audivi Vocem
by C. Michael Bailey
How did the ancient monophony of Gregorian Chant evolve into the Renaissance polyphony of the 16th Century English Church? A bit of background is helpful. Musically speaking, monophony is the simplest of aural expression which consists of a melody without accompanying harmony. Music where all the notes sung are in unison is termed monophonic. The earliest ...
Norma Winstone: Distances
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo Chamber Music, uscito alcuni anni fa per la Universal, Norma Winstone, Glauco Venier e Klaus Gesing tornano a registrare assieme, stavolta per ECM, un lavoro eclettico per scelta di brani, ma assai unitario per interpretazione. La “chamber music” è senz’altro il tratto caratteristico di questo Distances, che vede la voce certo poco jazzistica della Winstone ...
Mathias Eick: The Door
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo aver militato in alcune delle formazioni norvegesi più interessanti e innovative (Motif, JagaJazzist, Motorpsycho and Lars Horntvedt) e partecipato a diversi dischi usciti per la ECM (con Manu Katchè, Iro Haarla, Jacob Young), Mathias Eick debutta con questo The Door, CD autorevole e maturo nonostante la giovane età di Eick (29 anni). La formazione di ...
Norma Winstone: Distances
by Martin Gladu
Nostalgia is a good thing. Who has not experienced some sort of catharsis through the unexpected surging of special, tender memories? Time stops. An emotive film starts rolling inside the mind. One wanders back to a time when life was good...Those fortunate to have witnessed the magic between trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, pianist John Taylor ...
Marilyn Crispell: Vignettes
by Martin Longley
Pianist Marilyn Crispell was always primarily known as a stylistic descendant of Cecil Taylor, never resting for a moment as she spewed out endless runs of high invention, cascades of pointillistically constructed density. But everyone becomes calmer eventually and this solo piano set finds Crispell in an extremely introverted state, examining the relationship between carefully enunciated ...
Norma Winstone: Distances
by Budd Kopman
Listening to vocalist Norma Winstone's Distances is an entrancing experience. The concentration required to fully appreciate the music created by Winstone, Klaus Gesing (bass clarinet, soprano saxophone) and Glauco Venier (piano) is requested rather than demanded. The performances are intimate and delicate, while at the same time possessing a distilled strength, embracing both ...
Norma Winstone: Distances
by Andrew Velez
"Distance" opens this set in classic Winstone style. With music by pianist Glauco Venier, the singer's lyrics go to the heart of separation and distance in a relationship. Winstone is an instrumentalist singer, so even before one begins to get what the lyrics are actually saying, it's the total sound which moodily envelops the listener. The ...
