by John Kelman
Enjoy Jazz FestivalMannheim/Heidelberg/Ludwigshafen, GermanyOctober 27--November 1, 2011 It's always great to return somewhere that has become an annual port of call, but it's particularly nice to return to Germany's Enjoy Jazz, that atypical jazz festival which--rather than running for a week and concentrating a whack of shows in that short time frame--runs ...
Enrico Rava Quintet: Tribe
by Greg Simmons
Italian trumpet virtuoso Enrico Rava masters improvised atmospheric landscapes on Tribe. His thick, dark horn quests for firm structure and often, not finding anything solid, rolls back and forth over the rhythm section as it collaboratively meanders through the soundscape. Being drawn into the adventure is almost irresistible. “Amnesia" sets the expectation that this ...
Enrico Rava Quintet: Tribe
by John Kelman
Plenty has happened since Enrico Rava last recorded with his working quintet. All but the piano chair remained stable between Easy Living (ECM, 2004) and The Words And The Days (ECM, 2007), but trombonist Gianluca Petrella is the sole remnant on Tribe. “Change is good," they say, and if the rest of Rava's quintet consists of ...

by Joan A. Cararach

E' dappertutto!"Así, en un comentario escrito en Facebook, expresaba su perplejidad una persona ante la constante presencia de Stefano Bollani (Milán, 1972) en los medios de comunicación italianos, tanto por su actividad en concierto (el pianista es, según muchos promotores italianos, seguro de venta de ...

Chick Corea / Stefano Bollani: Orvieto
by John Kelman
If the combination of two chordal instruments--guitar with piano, or vibraphone with guitar, say--can prove a significant challenge in improvised music, then surely the piano duo is the most demanding of all. No other instrument has a seven-and-a-quarter octave range, played with eight fingers and two thumbs, creating far greater risk of harmonic, melodic and rhythmic ...
Ricardo Villalobos / Max Loderbauer: Re: ECM
by John Kelman
The concept of remix-- using studio technology to deconstruct, reshape and reconstruct extant recordings--is far from new, but the past decade has seen a considerable expansion of purview. Once more closely aligned with the club scene, remixes are no longer solely about relentless beats for dancing; instead, as Norway's Punkt Festival has been demonstrating for seven ...
