Charles Tyler Ensemble: Charles Tyler Ensemble

Read "Charles Tyler Ensemble" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Charles Tyler was an innovative musician who could unfurl a maelstrom of ideas from just a spark. He played with fire and spirit, finding his muse in free jazz and filling his music with bold inventions. Tyler met Albert Ayler when he was 14. He later went on to play with Ayler, whose influence can be ...

Sun Ra: Sun Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold

Read "Sun Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Esce in CD un leggendario disco dell'orchestra di Sun Ra, registrato dal vivo nel 1964, stampato in quantità limitata dalla Saturn nel 1976 e per lungo tempo introvabile: l'interesse degli appassionati era dovuto soprattutto alla presenza del giovane Pharoah Sanders, colto prima di entrare nell'orbita coltraniana. Quest'edizione è molto più di una ristampa in quanto aggiunge ...

Gato Barbieri: In Search of the Mistery

Read "In Search of the Mistery" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il 15 marzo 1967, quando Leandro “Gato" Barbieri incide le quattro pagine che compongono In Search of the Mystery, egli ha da poco iniziato ad essere oggetto di curiosità nei circoli del jazz d'avanguardia, sia in Europa, dove -proveniente dall'Argentina- ha vissuto alcuni anni, che negli Stati Uniti. Dopo un lungo periodo di gavetta, con collaborazioni ...

Timothy Leary: Turn On, Tune In , Drop Out

Read "Turn On, Tune In , Drop Out" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Memorie generazionali. Così potrebbero definirsi i risultati del montaggio che l'ESP di Bernard Stollman creò nel 1966 da una lunga intervista con Timothy Leary, l'intellettuale, psicologo e studioso americano che oggi molti ricordano solo come il “profeta dello LSD". Sì, è indubbio, oggi épater le bourgeois è esperienza ardua, semmai sia anche esperienza possibile. Il titolo ...

Albert Ayler: Spiritual Unity

Read "Spiritual Unity" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


When the veracity of the history of twentieth-century art is evaluated, what will be found in the proverbial time capsule? Where will “The Music," which Jelly Roll Morton christened as jass, sit with the works that were created by important composers, ranging from Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and John Coltrane, to Thelonious Monk,, George Russell and ...

Ornette Coleman: Town Hall 1962

Read "Town Hall 1962" reviewed by Stuart Broomer


When Ornette Coleman promoted this concert in December 1962, he was already in the midst of a long withdrawal from the public stage. Until the Town Hall event, his 1962 performances had consisted of a single concert and a week at the Jazz Gallery six months previously. Further, he hadn't recorded in a studio since March ...

Warren Smith: Old News Borrowed Blues

Read "Old News Borrowed Blues" reviewed by Lyn Horton


Famous for his participation in Max Roach's percussionist band, M'Boom, drummer/vibraphonist Warren Smith has demonstrated with finesse how an approach stimulated by rhythm can become the impetus for larger ensemble music. A program of original compositions from his past, now arranged for brass, bass, guitar and percussion, is recorded for the first time in Old News ...

Charlie Parker: Bird in Time 1940-1947

Read "Bird in Time 1940-1947" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ogni linguaggio musicale è il risultato di un'ampia elaborazione collettiva e il jazz non fa eccezione: a partire dal XVIII secolo diverse etnie europee e africane si sono trovate, volenti o nolenti, a condividere l'avventura della colonizzazione delle americhe. Nel territorio dei futuri Stati Uniti questa sintesi ha determinato ogni espressione musicale autoctona e cambiato il ...

Warren Smith: Old News Borrowed Blues

Read "Old News Borrowed Blues" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Warren Smith (drums, vibraphone, percussion) does not have a deep discography as a leader, and so any recording by him is most welcome. All the music on this CD has been performed live but never released, and the wait makes hearing it all the sweeter. Though his work as leader has been thin, Smith ...
