Paolo Angeli: S'û
by Bruce Lindsay
S'û is the sound of a master musician. The master in question is Paolo Angeli, a virtuoso player of the prepared Sardinian guitar (an instrument he has developed over the past 20 years). Angeli has worked with musicians from many genres--including jazz players such as Pat Metheny, Hamid Drake, Evan Parker and Fred Frith--developing an ever-increasing ...
Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris: Possible Universe (Conduction 192)
by Mark Corroto
With the death of jazzman Lawrence D. “Butch" Morris in 2013, we close the book on one of the most idiosyncratic composers, improvisors, conductors ever to work in creative music. His musical trajectory from a 1970s free jazz cornetist to the originator of his trademark 'Conductions' has been the stuff of legends. Under his baton, he ...
Agustí Fernández / Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard / Bjørn Heebøll: Amaranth
by Mark Corroto
To call Spanish pianist Agustí Fernández an inside/outside player isn't to suggest that he dabbles in both straight-ahead and free jazz. As a free, improvising pianist, he is one of the most sensitive players in today's scene. No, calling Fernández an inside/outside player literally means he can often be found playing his instrument both from the ...
A Madman’s Approach To Music And Why Can't Music Be Like A Tree?
by Duncan Heining
"Art alone makes life possible." --Joseph Beuys. The Glasgow Improvisers' Orchestra is unique. It's an over-used word, I know, but in this case fully justified. GIO are unique in so many ways--in the way they formed, the way they make decisions, in their make-up, how they work and most importantly how they sound. They ...
Live From Birmingham: Amy Roberts, Richard Exall, Bruce Coates, John Edwards, Mark Sanders, GoGo Penguin & Mammal Hands
by Martin Longley
The Amy Roberts/Richard Exall Jazz Band Solihull British Legion March 8, 2015 Shockingly, this regular club at Solihull British Legion, so accustomed to traditional New Orleans trotters, had booked a band that specialises in jazz from a slightly later time period. Precedents already existed, though, and the regulars have ...
Two INSUB releases
by John Eyles
When Switzerland's INSUB records issued its first two releases in a new format in early 2014, that innovative format got nearly as much attention as the music itself. Solving the download vs. physical object debate, its combination of attractive packaging (including A3 poster-size artwork) with a download code gave customers the best of both worlds. That ...

Roberto Ottaviano: su Lacy e non solo
by Libero Farnè
Il 4 giugno 2004 Steve Lacy moriva a Boston. Non mi pare che la comunità del jazz abbia celebrato adeguatamente il decennale. Eppure il grande compositore, sopranista, leader e pensatore americano, uno dei personaggi unici nella storia del jazz, non solo non può essere dimenticato, ma dovrebbe essere continuamente riscoperto e rianalizzato, in quanto potrebbe fornire ...
Evan Parker - Paul Dunmall - Tony Bianco: Extremes
by Glenn Astarita
In the album notes, eminent drummer Tony Bianco advises that the various discourses of this program “were about the times we live in." It's a fitting correlation to the album moniker, featuring two legendary British improvisers, saxophonists Paul Dunmall and Evan Parker engaging in kinetic and at times, calamitous dialogues. Moreover, the Canadian label Red Toucan ...
