Steve Lacy: School Days
by Raul d'Gama Rose
As the title suggests, School Days is both ironic--because the ingenuity of these musicians might have actually been the best schooled at the time of the recording--and iconic, as well. The reason? Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd formed one of the great, seminal repertory ensembles of all time, playing the music of Thelonious Monk and Herbie ...
Paul Hubweber - Philip Zoubek: Archiduc Concert: Dansaert Variations
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il trombonista tedesco Paul Hubweber, che vive a Moers e collabora anche col famoso festival locale, è ormai un veterano sulla scena della musica improvvisata europea.

Lol Coxhill - Roger Turner: Success with Your Dog
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lol Coxhill, monumento del free europeo, e Roger Turner, percussionista tra i più accreditati del panorama radicale (collaborazioni con Elton Dean, Alan Silva, Derek Bailey, Toshinori Kondo, Evan Parker, Tom Cora, Keith Rowe, Cecil Taylor ecc.) sono amici di lunga data.

Paul Hubweber & Philip Zoubek: Archiduc Concert: Dansaert Variatiions
by John Eyles
Trombonist Paul Hubweber has previously impressed in the trio PaPaJo, which he shares with bassist John Edwards and percussionist Paul Lovens, rightfully being compared with the late, great Paul Rutherford. Despite such comparisons, he draws from many sources. When practicing, he plays many Albert Mangelsdorff tunes, alongside Charlie Parker standards and J. S. Bach pieces.
Paul Hubweber / Philip Zoubek: Archiduc Concert: Dansaert Variations
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Paul Hubweber's trombone may be pitched in Bb, as all tenor trombones are, an octave below the trumpet, but the trombonist being an itinerant spirit, makes twists and turns of pitch and, therefore, timbre, until he turns his instrument into a chorus of voices. On Archduc Concert : Dansaert Variations Hubweber comes bursting out of the ...
Charlotte Hug / Fred Lonberg-Holm: Fine Extensions
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Viola and cello have coexisted in splendid harmony on the concert stage for hundreds of years, both instruments bolstering powerful orchestral settings for every composer, even before Haydn, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven employed violin and cello in compositions with vivid effect. What delights the inner ear, however, especially on the brazen Fine Extensions, is the fact ...
Lol Coxhill / Roger Turner: Success With Your Dog
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Listening to soprano saxophonist, Lol Coxhill on Success With Your Dog, it is tempting to dwell on the thought that Coxhill pushes the straight horn further, much further, than the late Steve Lacy. It is, of course, natural. Coxhill emerged around the same time as Lacy, and both men came long after Sidney Bechet, and the ...
Gary Todd / Dave Solomon / John Russell / Nigel Coombes / Steve Beresford: Teatime
by Raul d'Gama Rose
These are seminal works of European improvised music. What makes them all the more exciting is the fact that this is the one and only time that they will ever be played this way. Remembering Eric Dolphy's famous broadcast over Dutch Radio recorded on May 29, 1964, just weeks before he died, “When you hear music, ...
