Setoladimaiale Unit & Evan Parker: Live At Angelica 2018

Read "Live At Angelica 2018" reviewed by Mark Corroto

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 

Read "Crepuscule In Nickelsdorf " reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

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

Read "Old Smoke" reviewed by John Sharpe

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

Read "An Urban Myth: Chris Potter Circuits Quartet feat. Craig Taborn at Porto's Casa da Música" reviewed by Arian Bagheri Pour Fallah

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

Read "Abstractions Of Reality Past & Incredible Feathers" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

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.

Inexhaustible Editions: The Little Label That Roars

Read "Inexhaustible Editions: The Little Label That Roars" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Gabriel Ferrandini: Volúpias

Read "Volúpias" reviewed by John Sharpe

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.

Paul Plimley, Evan Parker & Denis Fournier

Read "Paul Plimley, Evan Parker & Denis Fournier" reviewed by Maurice Hogue

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.
