Ron Caines / Martin Archer Axis: Practical Dreamers
by John Sharpe
Practical Dreamers is the fifth collaboration between Discus label boss multi-instrumentalist Martin Archer and veteran saxophonist Ron Caines, and like the others, situates the latter's largely introspective reeds within varied electro-acoustic soundscapes. Caines was a founding member of progressive British rock band East Of Eden back in 1967, but after leaving to pursue jazzier endeavors, he ...
Mal Waldron, Steve Lacy: The Mighty Warriors
by Vincenzo Roggero
Alcune note per inquadrare il contesto di questa registrazione: il concerto eseguito ad Anversa il 30 settembre 1995, per il settantesimo compleanno di Mal Waldron, non era mai stato pubblicato prima; le esecuzioni dell'intero set sono inedite; l'audio rimasterizzato è stato trasferito dalle bobine originali con eccellenti risultati; l'elegante e ricco libretto contiene testimonianze di Reggie ...

Sergio Armaroli, Evan Parker: Dialog
by Neri Pollastri
Album molto singolare, questo di Sergio Armaroli e Evan Parker: pensato inizialmente come improvvisazione dal vivo da registrare in studio durante la prevista tournée italiana 2022 del sassofonista britannico, trasformatosi poi in duetto a distanza dopo la cancellazione della sua trasferta, si è alla fine concretizzato come un call and response, visto che Parker non si ...

New and old converge on Water Music. Tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman showcases a quartet with longstanding partner Matthew Shipp on piano together with the fresh rhythm axis of bassist Mark Helias and drummer Tom Rainey.

John Escreet: The Epicenter Of Your Dreams
by Mark Corroto
There is that image from one of Sergio Leone's spaghetti Western films where three gunfighters stand in the dusty town center, guns drawn, waiting for someone to flinch. That depiction of the Old West is somewhat appropriate as the UK-born pianist, John Escreet, who was based in New York for nearly a decade, moved to Los ...
Rob Brown: Oceanic
by John Sharpe
Solo albums for single-line instruments such as the saxophone always present a challenge. One that many but not all rise to meet. For New York City reedman Rob Brown, Oceanic is only the second such document in a career stretching back some 35 years, following an obscure CDR-only release, Silver Sun Afternoon (Nolabel, 2003). Over that ...
