Stephan Micus: To the Rising Moon

Read "To the Rising Moon" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


Puntualmente, seguendo un rituale che ci accompagna ormai da qualche decennio con una cadenza regolare approssimativamente biennale, è arrivato il nuovo album del polistrumentista tedesco Stephan Micus, che aggiunge un nuovo capitolo (il ventiseiesimo su etichetta ECM) al suo personalissimo atlante di geografia musicale immaginaria, frutto delle sue continue esplorazioni nel mondo delle musiche e culture ...

Sean Imboden: Communal Heart

Read "Communal Heart" reviewed by Dean Nardi


Sean Imboden's Large Ensemble Has a Communal Heart Sean Imboden was bitten by the big band bug early on. It is understandable. Both his parents were musicians, and his father taught him to play clarinet when he was in sixth grade. As a teenager, besides playing in middle school and high school bands, he sometimes sat ...

Keith Jarrett: New Vienna

Read "New Vienna" reviewed by Jack Kenny


The evening began with extraordinary anticipation as the Golden Hall filled to capacity, creating an atmosphere of reverent expectation for what many in the audience understood would be a rare opportunity to hear one of jazz's most celebrated improvisers in an optimal acoustic environment. However, the concert's opening moments quickly revealed the dynamics that often characterize ...

Vijay Iyer, Wadada Leo Smith: Defiant Life

Read "Defiant Life" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Un pezzo a testa dei due performers e firmatari del disco e gli altri quattro a paternità condivisa compongono questo puzzle a due voci in cui si respira un'aria quanto mai composta, quasi raggelata (almeno a tratti), volatile, persino un po' dispersiva, quanto meno nelle parti (per nulla rare) in cui Iyer abbandona lo strumento acustico ...

Keith Jarrett: New Vienna

Read "New Vienna" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


What accolade has not been heaped upon the eighty-year-old Keith Jarrett and the music he has bestowed upon the world? So, without embarrassing and overbearing hyperbole, New Vienna is another of those very special recordings Jarrett sculpts from silence with an integral artistry and frequency that, some fifty-odd years after he began this solo journey, still ...

Joe Lovano: Homage

Read "Homage" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Decolla sognante, aereo, quasi astratto, il nuovo album di Joe Lovano, che recupera per l'occasione il sodalizio con l'efficientissimo trio “made in Poland" di Marcin Wasilewski (l'incisione risale al novembre 2023). Sei i brani, tutti del sassofonista di Cleveland tranne il primo, “Love in the Garden" di Zbigniew Seifert, leggendario violinista di Cracovia morto poco più ...

Anouar Brahem: After the Last Sky

Read "After the Last Sky" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


Fin dal suo esordio la musica del suonatore di oud tunisino Anouar Brahem ha oscillato tra i tre poli della musica tradizionale classica araba, l'improvvisazione jazzistica e la musica classica europea di stampo cameristico, generalmente adattando le quantità di ogni singolo componente ai musicisti scelti per interpretarla. Dopo i primi due album nei quali ...

Piano Plus: Two Enhanced Solo Piano Sets

Read "Piano Plus: Two Enhanced Solo Piano Sets" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Is the piano enough? Keith Jarrett, notably, made a big name for himself with his improvised solo piano outings. Jessica Williams composed, in real time, making magic alone at the keyboard. Fred Hersch has crafted masterpieces in the solo piano mode. The ever-versatile Brad Mehldau has produced many shining moments sitting down alone at the piano. ...

Francois Couturier, Dominique Pifarély: Preludes and Songs

Read "Preludes and Songs" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Cameristica contemporanea di altissimo livello che s'intreccia con il jazz e con la musica popolare, distillandola in note purissime e affacinanti: questo è, in etrema sintesi, l'ennesimo incontro tra lo straordinario violinista francese Dominique Pifarély e il non meno prestigioso connazionale pianista Francois Couturier, artisti che collaborano da quarant'anni e che nel 1997 avevano già pubblicato ...
