Thomas Strønen: Lucus

Read "Lucus" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

A due anni di distanza dall'omonimo disco, torna Time Is a Blid Guide, la singolare formazione del batterista norvegese Thomas Strønen. Rispetto a quel primo lavoro c'è qualche variazione nell'organico, frutto del lavoro fatto assieme dal vivo: mancano i due percussionisti che affiancavano la batteria del leader e al pianoforte ha preso posto la ...

Andy Sheppard: Romaria

Read "Romaria" reviewed by Luca Casarotti

by Luca Casarotti

ECM rappresenta quasi per antonomasia un'estetica della sottrazione, fatta di tempi dilatati, atmosfere rarefatte e poche, a volte pochissime, note: solo le note necessarie, come vuole la massima di João Gilberto da cui prende il titolo l'autobiografia di Enrico Rava, un artista che non a caso ha legato il suo nome a quello dell'etichetta di Manfred ...

Mathias Eick: Ravensburg

Read "Ravensburg" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

Dopo il viaggio in una memoria immaginaria del precedente Midwest, ritratto di un Canada che gli ricordava la natia Norvegia, Mathias Eick passa a una memoria vissuta, legata all'infanzia e ai legami affettivi, raccolta in un lavoro che doveva chiamarsi Family come la traccia che lo apre e che poi ha preso il nome dalla città ...

Ferenc Snetberger: Titok

Read "Titok" reviewed by Mario Calvitti

by Mario Calvitti

Dopo il disco dal vivo con cui ha esordito per la ECM, il chitarrista ungherese Ferenc Snetberger ritorna con un nuovo lavoro, questa volta in trio con il contrabbassista Anders Jormin e il batterista Joey Baron. La presenza di una sezione ritmica rende l'elemento jazzistico più marcato che nel precedente lavoro realizzato in solitudine, e fa ...

Marc Sinan: White

Read "White" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Many of us won't understand all the scalar, metronomic, Lydian, meter, or modal intricacies and subtleties that guitarist Marc Sinan and clarinetist Oguz Buyukerber work off of or against, but for those seeking some kind of rhythm in our lives, it can be found it at times, and it flows. And on White the music flows ...

Elina Duni: Partir

Read "Partir" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Sometimes a change in musical direction is instigated by life experiences; sometimes it's driven by nothing more than choice. Following two recordings for ECM Records with her Switzerland-based quartet, Elina Duni makes a significant directional shift with the entirely solo Partir. Given the generally introspective nature of 2012's Matanë Malit (Over the Mountain) and 2015's Dallёndyshe ...

Gary Peacock: Tangents

Read "Tangents" reviewed by Mario Calvitti

by Mario Calvitti

Nel corso della sua lunghissima carriera, il nome di Gary Peacock è stato molto frequentemente associato ad alcuni grandi pianisti che hanno rivoluzionato la concezione del piano trio, a cominciare dai suoi sodalizi negli anni '60 con Paul Bley e Bill Evans; con quest'ultimo il rapporto è stato di breve durata, ma ha lasciato tracce evidenti ...

Steve Tibbetts: Life Of

Read "Life Of" reviewed by Mark Sullivan

by Mark Sullivan

Minnesota-based guitarist Steve Tibbetts has always gone his own way, crafting his albums in the recording studio with deliberate care. Many of those albums have featured his scorching electric-guitar playing, for example Exploded View (ECM, 1986) and the later A Man About a Horse (ECM, 2002). But beginning with his previous album, Natural Causes (ECM, 2010), ...

Read "Awase" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

The exquisite Awase is Swiss pianist Nik Bärtsch's eighth release with his band Ronin. Although the ensemble has had a few personnel changes, the album maintains the creative energy and the spirit of its previous work. The title refers to a principle of martial arts that translates to coming together and an appropriately dynamic ...
