Big Ears Festival 2016
by Mark Sullivan
Big Ears Festival Knoxville, TN March 31-April 2, 2016 Since its beginning in 2009, the Big Ears Festival has always been willfully, unapologetically eclectic. Their own self-description is “a dynamic, interactive experience that explores connections between musicians and artists, crossing all musical genres while interfacing with film, performance and the visual arts." ...
Andrew Drury: Content Provider
by Dave Wayne
On the wittily-titled Content Provider, Seattle-born, NYC- based drummer and composer Andrew Drury leads a remarkable band consisting of saxophonists Briggan Krauss (best-known for his work with Sex Mob) and Ingrid Laubrock, and gonzo electric guitarist Brandon Seabrook. Despite lacking a bassist (Seabrook provides some bass- line like figures here and there) it's a small band ...
konstruKt and Joe McPhee: Babylon: The First Meeting of Istanbul
by Dave Wayne
Taken at face value, konstruKt's catchphrase, “Free Jazz from Turkey," seems a tad pedestrian. But, if one considers Turkey's place in the world-literally the crossing point between Asia and Europe-its crazy-quilt ethnic diversity, and its continued religious and political unrest, it's a fitting metaphor. Oddly, most of the band's recorded output features invited guest artists from ...
Nigel Coombes, Steve Beresford: White String's Attached (improvised violin and piano duets and a violin solo)
by Vic Albani
Con perfetto humour britannico Nigel Coombes, violinista inglese attivo per un buon ventennio dai '70 ai '90 scrisse, nelle note di copertina di questo disco apparso nel 1979, che Beethoven stesso realizzò da solo che pianoforte e violino “suonassero davvero orribilmente insieme." “Strumenti che fondamentalmente si odiano l'un altro e... che fosse ora di finirla di ...
Tatsuya Nakatani, Shane Perlowin: Anatomy of a Moment
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un'improvvisazione fortemente strutturata, di carattere non necessariamente jazzistico (semmai, per riferimenti linguistici, fra il country-blues e, più marginalmente, il contemporaneo) contrassegna quest'ottimo album del duo composto dal chitarrista di Asheville (North Carolina) Shane Perlowin e dal percussionista- rumorista giapponese (di Osaka, ma ormai di stanza in Pennsylvania) Tatsuya Nakatani, già attivo, fra gli altri, accanto a ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Red Hot!
by Dave Wayne
I've been too busy enjoying the music of Mostly Other People Do The Killing (MOPTDK) to realize how controversial they've become. If you doubt their ability to rile the jazz world, all you have to do is post one of their videos on your Facebook page and wait for the ensuing kerfuffle to begin. The core ...
Arbe Garbe: Complete Communion
by Enrico Bettinello
Il nuovo lavoro dei friulani Arbe Garbe, in vinile, è una rilettura di un classico di Don Cherry come Complete Communion. Nel primo lato del disco troviamo i due temi del disco originale, “Complete Communion" e “Elephantasy," riletti in una pungente miscela stilistica in cui acustico e elettrico, folk e punk, jazz e reggae ...
