Joe McPhee: Solos : The Lost Tapes (1980 – 1981 – 1984)
by Mark Corroto
The young cats (players thirty years his junior) know Joe. Players who have immersed themselves in free improvisation, like Ken Vandermark, Mats Gustafsson, Peter Evans, Martin Kuchen, and Mikołaj Trzaska, learned the possibilities of creating a new music from, not thin air, but from listening. They model their approach after Joe McPhee. Born in ...
I 10 CD nel CD player di... Nicola Guazzaloca
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Massimo De Mattia -Quartet Hypermodern (Rudi Records -2014). Un lavoro in cui le individualità emergono nitide ed autorevoli, ogni elemento è inserito nel processo con salda intenzione e responsabilità, con sottesa energia lungo un percorso timbricamente vario e stratificato, a snodarsi fra le geometrie evocate dal flauto di De Mattia nel pulsare di ...
Anthony Braxton Quartet: (Santa Cruz) 1991 1st Set
by Mark Corroto
Decoding the music of Anthony Braxton might be a lifetime's mission. With his symbol system compositions and grand unification theories, even the trained ear admits to perplexity and a certain ignorance. Braxton has never stopped, nor slowed to explain himself to listeners. There are moments of insights though, in his performances. One can glean his approach ...
Save the Date - Maggio 2015
by Luca Canini
Maggio, tempo di festival. Concerti e rassegne da un angolo all'altro dello Stivale. Piazze piene, cortili aperti, giardini sonanti: non c'è che da scegliere. In base ai gusti, alle distanze e agli impegni. Dal canto nostro, come ogni mese, ci permettiamo di caldeggiare le proposte più allettanti e fuori dagli schemi, lasciando da parte i cartelloni ...
Nate Wooley: Battle Pieces
by Mark Corroto
Someday trumpeter Nate Wooley is going to sell-out, abandon his principles, and make a smooth jazz record. He will give in to the pull of commercial success and create a disc of elevator music which can be played, but taken no heed of. I jest, because everything he creates necessitates the ear and mind's ...
Marco Colonna, Augusti Fernandez: Desmadre
by Neri Pollastri
Questo disco di totale improvvisazione vede all'opera il più importante improvvisatore spagnolo, il pianista Augusti Fernandez--membro dell'Electro-Acoustic Ensemble di Evan Parker e della New Orchestra di Barry Guy--e uno dei più originali e interessanti della scena nostrana, il clarinettista Marco Colonna. Registrato a Barcellona dallo stesso Fernandez è poi stato pubblicato dalla Fonterossa Records di Silvia ...
Spontaneous Music Ensemble: Oliv & Familie
by Vic Albani
Quando ci si trova davanti alla recensione di un disco come questo o si decide per un agile volumetto di una trentina di pagine oppure sarebbe meglio lasciare correre. Dato che però gli amici di All about jazz si arrabbierebbero se propinassi loro una recensione di trenta pagine, scelgo la strada della pillola anche perché potrebbe ...
Konstrukt and William Parker: Live At NHKM
by Mark Corroto
Let me propose the notion that American poet Emily Dickinson was a free jazz fan. Sure, you have to look past the fact that she died in 1886, when Buddy Bolden was but nine years old. But consider her words: The worthlessness of Earthly things/The Ditty is that Nature Sings -/And then -enforces their delight/Til Synods ...
Alexander Hawkins: Alexander Hawkins Trio
by Karl Ackermann
Oxford, UK native Alexander Hawkins continues to chart a course that will inevitably place him in the creative category of pianist/composers of the caliber of Cecil Taylor and Andrew Hill. It is simply a matter of time before this is a young artist--who has an abundance of time--along with a distinctive, broad and progressive vision, comes ...
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 ...
