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 ...
Per Gärdin/Rodrigo Pinheiro/Marco Franco/Travassos: Oblique Mirrors
by Mark Corroto
Listening to the free improvisation recording, Oblique Mirrors brings to mind a most memorable line from the film The Usual Suspects, where Kevin Spacey as Roger “Verbal" Kint says, “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone." Maybe its the evanescent nature ...
Torben Snekkestad: Winds Of Mouth
by Mark Corroto
The Homo sapien caveman picked up a goat's horn and blew some notes through it to entertain the Neanderthals, who had somehow, not paid the cover charge for the spring solstice show. No worries he thought, they'll soon be extinct, and I've just invented music. What the Neanderthals were fascinated with, was, just how ...

by John Sharpe
For British bassist Barry Guy the concert that produced this fine double disc package occurred at the end of a four day intensive residency in Krakow culminating in the premier of an ambitious new work by his Blue Shroud Band. While for Chicago reedman Ken Vandermark, the event was the final episode in two months on ...

by John Eyles
The five tracks on Tie the Stone to the Wheel were recorded at two duo gigs which saxophonists Evan Parker and Seymour Wright played in London and Derby, on consecutive Sundays in October 2014, at the Kernel Brewery and the Derby Theatre Studio. Remarkably, at the Derby gig, it was revealed that when Parker had played ...
Club Inégales: Where Everybody Knows Your Name...
by Duncan Heining
If Club Inégales didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent it. What price a venue in the heart of London with a policy as open-minded and eclectic as this? Club Inégales welcomes jazzers and free improvisers, baroque musicians and folk singers, poets and comedians, Japanese and Bengali percussionists and even the occasional passing shaman. The ...
Peter A. Schmid: Chicago Conversations
by Alberto Bazzurro
Ventiquattro brani per lo più molto brevi compongono questo sfiziosissimo nuovo lavoro del cinquantaseienne polistrumentista zurighese Peter A. Schmid, che è andato a inciderlo (in un unico giorno, il 31 agosto 2014) allo Strobe Recording di Chicago, dividendosi fra duetti (quindici), una sua specialità (fra i suoi numerosi partner nel corso degli anni ricordiamo almeno Evan ...
