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 ...

by Luca Muchetti
Nuove eruzioni dal vulcanico batterista britannico Martin France, alla guida degli Spin Marvel. Il musicista già ascoltato al fianco di Django Bates, Evan Parker, Kenny Wheeler, Lee Konitz, Dave Holland, Arild Andersen, e Ralph Towner firma quest'anno un nuovo capitolo della sua storia musicale lanciando per RareNoiseRecords Infolding, affascinante e acido sbocco musicale che al jazz ...
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 ...

A dialogo con Alessandro Lanzoni
by Neri Pollastri
Classe 1992, Alessandro Lanzoni ha già alle spalle un percorso artistico di tutto rispetto, collaborazioni con artisti di primo piano (giovanissimo, aveva già registrato con Lee Konitz) e riconoscimenti importanti (lo scorso anno ha vinto il referendum di Musica Jazz come miglior nuovo talento italiano).

Dave Rempis: Zen Master
mc.jpg)
by Mark Corroto
The best application of philosophy to improvised music is the Chinese concept of “wu-wei." The best translation of this is “no trying." Many listeners have the false impression that it takes a sophisticated ear or at least years of listening to “get" improvised music. Actually, the opposite is true. The key is wu-wei or the art ...

konstruKt and Joe McPhee: Babylon: The First Meeting of Istanbul
by Dave Wayne
Taken at face value, konstruKt's catchphrase, “Free Jazz from Turkey," seems a tad pedestrian. But, if one considers Turkey's place in the world-literally the crossing point between Asia and Europe-its crazy-quilt ethnic diversity, and its continued religious and political unrest, it's a fitting metaphor. Oddly, most of the band's recorded output features invited guest artists from ...
