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 ...
Ivo Perelman Quartet: Water Music
by John Sharpe
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. Although they have not played with Perelman before, they are not exactly Johnny-come-latelys. Both have achieved veteran status, not only individually, ...

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 ...

The Jazz Detective Strikes Again
by Mark Corroto
Producer Zev Feldman, like Joe DiMaggio, has done it again. In May of 1941, DiMaggio began a major league baseball hitting streak. People followed his exploits game after game and hit after hit. DiMaggio's amazing record of 56 consecutive games still stands to this day. Same can be said of Feldman. His detective work, finding rare ...
Evan Parker - Barry Guy: So It Goes
by John Sharpe
Two masters who have invented a (the?) lexicon for their instruments meet on So It Goes. British saxophonist Evan Parker and his compatriot bassist Barry Guy should need no introduction to anyone interested in European free improvisation. Both active since the 1970s, they remain vital forces even with as they both move into their eighth decade. ...
