Benjamin Lackner: Last Decade
by Dan McClenaghan
In a 2006 interview for All About Jazz written by Joao Moriera dos Santos, pianist/keyboardist Benjamin Lackner was asked: “What label would you like to be on in the near future?" He said, simply, “ECM." That seemed ambitious for Lackner at that stage of his career. He was 29 years old at the time and boasted ...
Jakob Bro, Joe Lovano: Once Around the Room - A Tribute To Paul Motian
by Angelo Leonardi
Il magistrale percorso da leader di Paul Motian, esploso negli anni ottanta nel trio con Joe Lovano e Bill Frisell, ha avuto significativi tributi a partire dal 2011, l'anno della sua scomparsa: ricordiamo lo String Choir di Joel Harrison, il collettivo Motian Sickness di Jeff Cosgrove, il solo piano di Russ Lossing (Drum Music) e quello ...
Jakob Bro / Joe Lovano: Once Around the Room
by Mike Jurkovic
The thrumming double basses of Larry Grenadier and Thomas Morgan initiate the conversation. Then the scattered insistence of rhythm by drummers Joey Baron and Jorge Rossy enters, pushing Once Around the Room into consciousness with all the anticipation and hushed intent of an orchestra tuning before a performance. Airy clusters of guitar courtesy of Jakob Bro ...
Keith Jarrett: Bordeaux Concert
by Mario Calvitti
Un nuovo album di Keith Jarrett rappresenta sempre un evento, anche se da quando l'ictus che lo ha colpito togliendogli la capacità di suonare il pianoforte possiamo soltanto aspettarci registrazioni realizzate nel corso delle sue passate tournée. In particolare, questo concerto di Bordeaux appartiene all'ultimo tour del pianista, cinque concerti tenuti in Europa nel Luglio 2016, ...
We Jazz Records: Finland's indie label shaking up the global conversation
by Rob Garratt
The past decade's genre-bending jazz renaissance has been well-documented, but between the trailblazing players taking improvised music to increasingly hip places, and the ever-growing audience queuing up to hear them, sits the homegrown labels bottling these brave, thrilling (r)evolutions for all to hear. In conversations about the state of jazz today, it's often easier to distil ...
Keith Jarrett: Bordeaux Concert
by Karl Ackermann
Recorded at the Bordeaux National Opera House, in July 2016, Bordeaux Concert marks Keith Jarrett's final solo performance in France. The improvised suite came from a prolific European tour which has produced three ECM releases to date. There is little doubt that the label will continue to extract Jarrett's live performances in the post-2018 period, which ...
Keith Jarrett: Bordeaux Concert
by Mike Jurkovic
Like so much of his renowned canon—including Köln Concert, Bremen-Lausanne, La Scala, A Multitude of Angels (ECM, 1975, 1973, 1997, 2016)— Bordeaux Concert feels like it has always been there. In the air, in the heart, in the quiet turnings of a world at large. Just waiting for one to encounter it and come to the ...
Hellbound Train—An Anthology
by Dan McClenaghan
A career anthology of trumpeter Miles Davis' music would struggle for cohesion, trying to combine sounds from his Birth Of The Cool (Capitol, 1957) to the first and second great quintets, to Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1970) and On the Corner (Columbia, 1972). It is a stew that is hard to digest in one sitting. It makes ...
