Gianni Lenoci, madrelingua jazz
by Neri Pollastri
La sera di lunedì 30 settembre, dopo breve malattia, è scomparso Gianni Lenoci, pianista, compositore, didatta, teorico, intellettuale tra i più originali e prestigiosi del nostro Paese. Non era forse un nome molto conosciuto al grande pubblico, Gianni, vuoi per il rigore artistico che lo portava a non confondere mai l'arte con l'intrattenimento, vuoi per la ...

Setoladimaiale Unit & Evan Parker: Live At Angelica 2018
by Mark Corroto
Let's consider the similarities of this large group improvisation to the High Renaissance frescoes. Any visit to a chapel or duomo in Italy reveals elaborate mural paintings on the walls and ceilings. These paintings were made on fresh (affresco) wet plaster eventually dyed into ornate religious scenes. Artists like Michelangelo and Raphael were required to create ...
Evan Parker, Matthew Wright Trance Map: Crepuscule In Nickelsdorf
by Alberto Bazzurro
A poco più di due anni dalla sua incisione (luglio 2017), esce questo nuovo lavoro del gruppo elettronico capitanato dalla coppia Parker/Wright. Il tessuto è quello tipico del sassofonista inglese (qui solo al soprano), con le sue circonvoluzioni qui quanto mai iterate all'infinito, ad alternarsi o sovrapporsi al substrato elettronico dei coinquilini. Il risultato ...
Steve Baczkowski: Old Smoke
by John Sharpe
Reedman Steve Baczkowski would surely be better known had he not remained in Buffalo, NY, where he grew up and studied, as he possesses a fearsome sound. In his guise as Music Director of Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in his hometown, he's undoubtedly familiar with the German saxophone titan Peter Brötzmann, who is clearly an inspiration. ...
An Urban Myth: Chris Potter Circuits Quartet feat. Craig Taborn at Porto's Casa da Música
by Arian Bagheri Pour Fallah
Circuits the Record, Circuits the Quartet.The record Circuits (Edition, 2019) makes use of production as a means to architecturally bring to bay today's average, one may say alienated jazz listener, the “grooveland" referenced by Potter merely an excuse and hardly the verdict in this trial. It is a covered walk 'round new-fashioned, urban currents—skintight, ...
Binker Golding: Abstractions Of Reality Past & Incredible Feathers
by Karl Ackermann
Binker Golding has been gathering a loyal and impressive following on the London jazz scene with comparisons to John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. Dispensing with some measure of hyperbole, Golding's prestigious UK based MOBO and MOJO awards, and growing fan base lend validity to his local stature. Like Idris Rahman, Nubya Garcia and Shabaka Hutchings (Sons ...
Inexhaustible Editions: The Little Label That Roars
by Mark Corroto
In the 1980s, American writer John Corbett traveled Europe searching for out-of-print LPs from small labels which he eventually produced reissues titled the Unheard Music Series first for Atavistic Records, then his own Corbett vs. Dempsey label. His mission was to preserve the music which formed the jazz and improvisation canon but was largely ignored, simply ...
Gabriel Ferrandini: Volúpias
by John Sharpe
Portuguese drummer Gabriel Ferrandini seeks out a different path on Volúpias. He puts aside the bustling asymmetric momentum, familiar from his tenure in the celebrated Red Trio and with saxophonist Rodrigo Amado's Motion Trio, to explore compositional realms. In 2016 he started his new approach with an artistic residency in the prestigious ZDB venue, where he ...
Paul Plimley, Evan Parker & Denis Fournier
by Maurice Hogue
This show marks the one-year anniversary of publishing One Man's Jazz on All About Jazz's radio section, and we're taking a decided dip into the “deep end" of the improvisation pool. There's lots of avant-garde, experimental, free form, free improv on the bill. Is it “noise," is it the future? That's for the listener to decide, ...
