by John Kelman
David Sylvian Manafon samadhisound 2009 Since first emerging as the lead singer of 1980s synth pop group Japan, singer/multi-instrumentalist David Sylvian has turned, in many ways most surprisingly, into one of pop music's most intrepid explorers. As early as his first solo album, the crooner with a distinctive and intentioned vibrato ...
Peter Brotzmann: Lost & Found
by Nic Jones
It's important to point out that this is Peter Brötzmann entirely solo on various reeds because, with this particular advocate of the free, the solo context has always amounted to something entirely different to his group work. As an unaccompanied soloist, he has always been an antithesis of Evan Parker's seamless flow on soprano sax in ...
Got Bass Clarinet? Jason Stein Does
by Mark Corroto
In the short history of jazz--only about 110 years--the bass clarinet has had an even shorter existence. Students of Charles Darwin's evolutionary studies might point towards the adaption of the instrument into the new jazz of the 1960s; or perhaps the branch of evolution studies called biogeography might explain that fertile locations spawn growth in the ...
Manfred Schoof: Resonance
by John Kelman
For every artist that has achieved international attention via the exposure of ECM Records, there are countless others who seem to have been lost beneath the cracks. German trumpeter Manfred Schoof, who recorded three superb albums for the ECM-affiliated JAPO label in the 1970s, was a member of the freewheeling Globe Unity Orchestra alongside Peter Brötzmann, ...

Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble: The Moment's Energy
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tra i progetti di Evan Parker, l'Electro-Acoustic Ensemble riveste un ruolo di crescente centralità come “luogo" di sperimentazione, non solo perché l'organico si va progressivamente allargando - quattordici sono i musicisti coinvolti in questo nuovo disco registrato in occasione del Festival di Huddersfield del novembre 2007 - ma anche per il continuo ridefinirsi del rapporto tra ...
John Law: Deeper into the Music
by Jakob Baekgaard
Classical music and jazz are often perceived as two radically different art forms that cannot be merged. Historically, the idea of a so-called “third stream" that is able to combine the language of jazz and classical music into a coherent whole has proved rather difficult to translate into praxis, and yet it is undeniable that a ...
