Joe Lovano: Homage
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
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
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
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 ...

ECM Records: Austerity as Aesthetic
by Doug Collette
ECM Records may boast the most readily-recognizable style of any record label extant, jazz-wise or otherwise. And the austere aesthetic of the label, as originated by founder Manfred Eicher in 1969, remains consistent (predictable?) to this day, not just in terms of the music but in the packaging too: slipcases enclosing jewel boxes belie inserts including ...
François Couturier / Dominique Pifarély and Bob Bralove / Patti Weiss: Intimacy Writ Large
by Doug Collette
The intimacy of a given musical setting does not necessarily translate to accessibility. And duo performances can be among the most thought-provoking of any instrumental combination, revealing not only the fundamental difficulty of not just playing music with skill, but doing so via interaction with other musicians. Besides that particular enlightenment, these coincidental releases further illuminate ...
