Vijay Iyer Sextet: Far from Over

Read "Far from Over" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Come tutti i musicisti dotati di un'intelligenza non comune, Vijay Iyer sfida continuamente i propri ascoltatori a seguirlo dentro territori stimolanti. Non si fa un torto al pianista e compositore di origine indiana se si ricorda come il suo percorso artistico da leader si sia fino a oggi snodato tra accecanti intuizioni, complesse indagini formali e ...

Vijay Iyer Sextet: Far From Over

Read "Far From Over" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

There are any number of valid ways to describe Vijay Iyer's music over the course of his twenty-three albums. Analytical, angular, intricate, dissonant, and oddly lyrical; his two previous ECM releases, Break Stuff (2015) and the duo outing, A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke, with Wadada Leo Smith (2016), have been more widely accessible without forsaking ...

Bill Frisell/Thomas Morgan: Small Town

Read "Small Town" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

Duets can be very revealing and very demanding. In best of cases, duets require the utmost attention from two musicians, where playing with another person means playing solo and support simultaneously. When this works well, magic occurs. Over the decades, guitarist Bill Frisell has demonstrated an uncanny power and musicality as a considerable force in various ...

Dominic Miller: Silent Light

Read "Silent Light" reviewed by Luca Muchetti

by Luca Muchetti

Dominic Miller con Silent Light firma il suo album al tempo stesso più ambizioso, delicato e riuscito. Ci sono tanti motivi che rendono queste undici composizioni, se non il migliore, uno dei più bei capitoli della carriera del chitarrista argentino, noto al grande pubblico soprattutto per la lunga militanza, sia in studio che sul palco, al ...

Ecco un disco per ascoltatori esigenti. Un lavoro che ripaga con generosità l'impegno di un ascolto vigile, informato, empatico.

Tigran Hamasyan, Arve Henriksen, Eivind Aarset, Jan Bang: Atmosphères

Read "Atmosphères" reviewed by Rosarita Crisafi

by Rosarita Crisafi

Un suggestivo doppio album per l'etichetta ECM mostra il volto misterioso e affascinante di un quartetto di fuoriclasse. In primis l'enfant prodige Tigran Hamasyan, giovane pianista americano di origine armena di eccezionale talento capace di scavalcare con agilità le barriere del jazz. Assieme a Hamasyan alcune vecchie conoscenze dell'etichetta discografica tedesca, il musicista e produttore discografico ...

Stephan Micus: Inland Sea

Read "Inland Sea" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

Like an actual inland sea, the Stephan Micus catalogue stands as a unique entity distinct from all its surroundings. Always too restless to rely on familiar sounds, he travels to find little-known instruments in far corners of the world and take time getting to know each one's voice. His 22nd ECM recording is centered mostly around ...

Craig Taborn: Daylight Ghosts

Read "Daylight Ghosts" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

It is very difficult to describe or sum up pianist Craig Taborn's inimitable artistic vision, style of playing and compositions. He employs a wide range of stylistic means and concepts, and as a result his playing style and compositions, be it in a solo setting or with accompaniment, are very diverse and insistently exploratory. This improvising ...

Bill Frisell, Thomas Morgan: Small Town

Read "Small Town" reviewed by Luca Canini

by Luca Canini

A certi dischi non si può far altro che arrendersi. C'è poco da raccontare, da spiegare. Li si ascolta e li si ama: punto. Senza porre condizioni o veti, senza affannarsi a cercare giustificazioni. Quello che c'è da sapere è tutto lì. E arriva dritto e preciso alla testa e al cuore. Dritto, ...
