Peter Brötzmann / Heather Leigh: Ears Are Filled With Wonder
by John Sharpe
Iconoclastic German reedman Peter Brötzmann has appeared in almost every conceivable combination and circumstance over the years, from the maelstrom of Last Exit to the austere horn choir of Sonore, via hook ups with almost everyone in between, counting such free jazz luminaries as Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker. However on Ears Are Filled ...
Nate Wooley: Seven Storey Mountain V
by Karl Ackermann
Nate Wooley has a fairly traditional early background having played trumpet in his father's big band as a teenager. His departure from convention was quite radical as he went on to work with the likes of John Zorn, Anthony Braxton, Ken Vandermark and Evan Parker. Wooley is one of an innovative strain of trumpeters who view ...
Liquid Trio: Marianne
by Mark Corroto
The free jazz of the Liquid Trio might best be described as quicksilver, a sort of liquified metal. In the context of music making, their ability to move and change shape instantly makes them difficult to contain. Marianne, the follow up to Primer Dia i Última Nit (Sirulita, 2013), is the second album released by this ...

Five New From Konvoj Records
by Mark Corroto
If you are a free jazz fanatic, you probably look for those out-of-print vinyl offerings from labels like Hat Hut, FMP, Sonet, and El Saturn Records. Sadly, you would have to be either independently wealthy or Mats Gustafsson to acquire the rarest of the rare music. But take heart, there are small labels producing the free ...
Bob Downes Open Music: Blowin' With Bass
by Claudio Bonomi
Bob Downes, compositore e polistrumentista britannico, estrae dal proprio magic box un'altra chicca che farà fellce gli appassionati di jazz, o meglio, di British Jazz. Il movimento che, a partire della fine degli anni Sessanta, produsse un pimpante manipolo di musicisti-pionieri che ancora oggi calcano le scene internazionali come Evan Parker, John Surman, Keith Tippett, John ...
Ingrid Laubrock/Tom Rainey: Buoyancy
by Mark Corroto
In baseball it's called “small ball." That might be the best way to describe the improvising duo of saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and drummer Tom Rainey. Small ball baseball teams win, not by home run blasts, but by putting runners in scoring position, bunting, and stealing bases. Flamboyant rarely wins the series. Confident, often understated play, is ...
Giovanni Maier e Zlatko Kaučič: intervista sull'Orchestra Senza Confini
by Neri Pollastri
L'Orchestra Senza Confini è un ensemble ampio (nel disco che la documenta consta di diciassette elementi), con musicisti provenienti dal Friuli Venezia Giulia e dalla Slovenia. Suddivisa in due sezioni, è diretta con una conduction doppia e contemporanea da Giovanni Maier e Zlatko Kaucic. L'iniziativa, in sé molto originale, ha anche esiti entusiasmanti sia dal vivo ...
Schlippenbach Trio al Centro d'Arte Padova
by Vincenzo Roggero
Schlippenbach Trio Cinema Torresino Padova 29.04.2016 Poteva far esplodere i fuochi d'artificio, navigare sulle ali dell'effetto nostalgia, piazzarti sul muso i suoi quarant'anni di storia, e che storia, come forse nessun'altra formazione al mondo può vantare, e via pedalare. Invece lo Schlippenbach Trio ha regalato un concerto di rara misura, rigore ...
Something old, something new, something reissued, something Brötzmann blew.
by Mark Corroto
Can the entire history of a musical genre be encoded in one man's DNA? If that is possible, then reading the DeoxyriboNucleic Acid molecules in saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's body would yield all the information a musical scientist studying the development of free jazz would require. Since the 1960s, he has been in the center of the ...
