Milo Fine: Ananke

Read "Ananke" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Multistrumentista dedicatosi alla batteria, al piano, ai clarinetti, alla marimba e alla costruzione di strumenti originali, Milo Fine ha sempre posto grande attenzione ai processi cognitivi e culturali legati all'improvvisazione, concentrandosi sull'accumulazione di senso in grado di indirizzare lo svolgimento di una performance musicale. Il rigore del suo lavoro gli impone una ricerca costante dell'autenticità, al ...

Sophie Agnel: Capsizing Moments

Read "Capsizing Moments" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Bastano le splendide note di copertina di Henry Jules Julien per chiarimenti sulla registrazione, per conoscere il significato del termine preppiano extensif - non solo un semplice piano preparato fisso e statico ma in continuo movimento ed evoluzione - su cosa c'entri la globalizzazione con lo strumento per eccellenza della musica colta occidentale. Così che l'ascoltatore ...

People Band: 69/70

Read "69/70" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Che bello. Uno dei pochi casi in cui, una volta inserito il dischetto nel computer e fatto partire I-Tunes, il tutto non viene riconosciuto dai vari data-base... probabilmente inseriranno presto ogni informazione, ma già rimarcare il fatto è notevole. Il perché è presto detto: perché questo è un progetto di improvvisazione pura al 99% e poiché ...

Arc: The Pursuit Of Happiness

Read "The Pursuit Of Happiness" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


This album's title justifiably parallels the trio's radiant synergy. With their third release as a unit, this 2009 outing signifies the artists' initial employment of live electronics--a component that has been gaining steam with improvisation-centric bands over the years. But like anything else, good taste and using effects as an instrument stand as the antithesis of ...

Veryan Weston: Allusions

Read "Allusions" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Come insegnano i dizionari, “L'allusione è una figura retorica e consiste nell'uso di un sostantivo, spesso derivato da un fatto storico o comunemente noto, che abbia un rapporto di somiglianza con l'oggetto in questione. Esempi: 1) Allusione mitologica: “un labirinto" (un intrico di strade) - 2) Allusione storica: “vittoria di Pirro" (un successo ottenuto a caro ...

People Band: 69/79

Read "69/79" reviewed by John Eyles


This double-CD is the follow-up to 1968 (Transatlantic, 1970; reissued Emanem, 2004), People Band's only previous album. Where that album featured the band's first generation of players, 69/70 represents its second generation. 69/70 comes after tireless salvage work by Terry Day and Martin Davidson on tapes recorded in a Soho studio, at jam sessions at Mel ...

Sophie Agnel: Capsizing Moments

Read "Capsizing Moments" reviewed by John Eyles


Sophie Agnel plays prepared piano, although she herself prefers to speak of “extensive piano." Her preparations evolve during the course of her playing as, inside the piano, she adds, moves or removes such objects as disposable water cups, foil ashtrays, bouncing balls and nylon fishing line. This CD was recorded live in concert at Les Instants ...

Okkyung Lee / Peter Evans / Steve Beresford: Check for Monsters

Read "Check for Monsters" reviewed by John Eyles


Recorded in New York and Philadelphia on a mini-tour in March 2008, this Anglo-American-Korean trio brings together superb improvisers who are not immediately obvious as a compatible threesome but who combine together to stunning effect. Pianist Steve Beresford, the trio's elder statesman, surely needs no introduction; leaving aside his other music, his work with the London ...

Veryan Weston: Allusions

Read "Allusions" reviewed by John Eyles


With the first batch of 2009 releases--this is the first--Emanem has abandoned jewel case packaging and opted for the far more appealing all-card version, a very welcome change indeed. For years, pianist Veryan Weston has been a stalwart of the label, in a variety of contexts including duos, trios and quartets---most recently with the fine quartet ...
