Tord Gustavsen, Simin Tander, Jarle Vespestad: What Was Said
by Neri Pollastri
Continuità e radicale cambiamento in questo nuovo album di Tord Gustavsen: il pianista di Oslo è ancora in trio con il fido batterista Jarle Vespestad, ma con la cantante tedesca di origini afgane Simin Tander a sostituire il contrabbasso; al pianoforte affianca un inedito, moderato impiego di elettronica; ancora al lavoro su materiale di ispirazione sacra ...
Masabumi Kikuchi: Black Orpheus
by Dan McClenaghan
Black Orpheus, the solo piano CD from Japanese-born pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, may be the starkest, loneliest music in the world. Masabumi Kikuchi (1939-2015) was a versatile, if ultimately idiosyncratic artist. Early in his career he worked with a panoply of mainstream music makers, everyone from drummer Elvin Jones, to producer arranger Gil Evans, tenor ...
Nik Bartsch's Mobile at The Rubin Museum of Art
by Budd Kopman
Nik Bärtsch's Mobile Rubin Museum Of Art New York, NY May 6, 2016 Having seen Nik Bärtsch's Ronin live (albeit eight years ago), listened to Continuum and read the detailed review which notes the differences between the groups, did not lessen the impact of Mobile in concert.
Nik Bärtsch's Mobile: Continuum
by Claudio Bonomi
Nik Bärtsch, pianista svizzero famoso ai più per le sue gesta con i Ronin, torna alla ribalta con un nuovo album che, semmai ce ne fosse ancora bisogno, ne conferma il talento e il genio creativo. Qui è a capo dell'ensemble acustico Mobile, che per l'occasione si esibisce in una formazione allargata includendo ...
Carla Bley: Andando el Tiempo
by John Kelman
A few months shy of three years following the release of Trios (ECM, 2013), composer/keyboardist and NEA Jazz Master Carla Bley returns with Andando el Tiempo, an album of largely introspective music that shares much with its predecessor, but also acts as a flip side of the same coin. Like Trios, Andando el Tiempo ...
Jack DeJohnette/Ravi Coltrane/Matthew Garrison: In Movement
by Karl Ackermann
There is something of the “six degrees of separation" theory at work in this newly formed trio, led loosely, by the great Jack DeJohnette. The drummer/multi-instrumentalist works in the company of saxophonist Ravi Coltrane whose lineage is well known, and bassist/electronic artist Matthew Garrison whose father Jimmy Garrison was the bassist in John Coltrane's classic quartet. ...
Carla Bley & Jack DeJohnette: ECM Trios
by Mark Sullivan
Two different approaches to the trio, led by veteran ECM bandleaders. Big band composer/pianist Carla Bley continues her recent run of chamber ensemble recordings, reconvening her trio with saxophonist Andy Sheppard and bassist Steve Swallow, most recently heard on Trios (ECM, 2013). The grouping gives much more focus on her piano playing than her large group ...
Thomas Stronen: Time Is A Blind Guide
by Neri Pollastri
Affermatosi con Food, gruppo elettrico che guida da anni assieme al sassofonista Iain Ballamy (clicca qui per leggere la recensione del loro ultimo album, This Is Not a Miracle), il batterista norvegese Thomas Strønen presenta qui il primo lavoro della sua nuova formazione denominata come l'album stesso Time Is a Blind Guide. Si tratta ...
Ferenc Snetberger: In Concert
by Mario Calvitti
Era solo questione di tempo prima che il chitarrista ungherese Ferenc Snetberger approdasse ai lidi ECM. Molte delle sue passate produzioni discografiche non avrebbero affatto sfigurato nel catalogo dell'etichetta bavarese, che finalmente lo può annoverare tra i suoi artisti con la pubblicazione di questo In Concert, registrazione di una sua esibizione in solo a Budapest nel ...
Carla Bley/Andy Sheppard/Steve Swallow: Andando el Tiempo
by Karl Ackermann
There are few figures in modern music that are truly more iconic than Carla Bley. Her list of accomplishments are impossible to chronicle in this limited space, but suffice to say that her influence traverses genres, styles and generations, in a way that perhaps no other artist has approached. Her early crowning jewel—the jazz opera Escalator ...
