Hans Tammen - Alfred 23 Harth - Chris Dahlgren - Jay Rosen: Expedition

Read "Expedition" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Può la completa libertà d’espressione trasformarsi paradossalmente in un vincolo limitante? È possibile che l’estenuate ricerca della radicalità e dell’originalità nell’improvvisazione sia divenuta uno stereotipo? Che la destrutturazione del linguaggio musicale sia giunta ad un punto di non ritorno, o meglio, ad un punto di saturazione naturale? Forse non c’è soluzione univoca o verità assoluta che ...

New Ghost: Live Upstairs at Nick's

Read "Live Upstairs at Nick's" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


A giudicare dalle foto di copertina parrebbe di essere in presenza di un gruppo fusion o prog-rock degli anni ’70/80. Invece Live Upstairs at Nick’s è la registrazione, datata gennaio 1998, di un quartetto di improvvisatori che dichiarano il loro amore per artisti come Cecil Taylor, Marshall Allen, Linda Sharrock etc. Anche se la musica dei ...

Frank Wright: Unity

Read "Unity" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Precocemente scomparso nel 1990, il tenorista Frank Wright non ha potuto godere di quella - seppur relativa - rivalutazione che ha riguardato negli ultimi anni molti artisti free. Folgorato sulla via di Ayler dopo una anonima militanza come bassista in ambiti r&b, Wright è stato testimone vivo della new thing newyorkese e ha trovato nell'etichetta ESP ...

Tammen/Harth/Dahlgren/Rosen: Expedition -- Live At The Knitting Factory

For those who closely follow the global jazz-improv scene, these artists' varied resumes point towards the latest and greatest of modern jazz's vast parameters and possibilities.

Tammen / Harth / Dahlgren / Rosen: Expedition: Live at the Knitting Factory

Read "Expedition: Live at the Knitting Factory" reviewed by Matt Cibula


This is a big fat disc of free improvisation from a 2001 live show, but don't be fooled--there is method behind the madness. Fortunately, there is also madness behind the method. It starts out all spiky and aggro. You can tell this because the first track is called “Setting Out With Aggressive Intent," but you can ...

Frank Wright: Unity

Read "Unity" reviewed by Nic Jones


The late Frank Wright focused on one aspect of Albert Ayler's work and attempted to run with it, but energy alone, however, as Ayler understood, was not a foundation strong enough to build the kind of music that holds attention. Unity, a previously unissued release which documents a live performance by Wright's quartet at the Moers ...
