Bailey and Parker first played together in March 1967, recording as part of a Spontaneous Music Ensemble (SME) ...

Torben Snekkestad: Conic Folded

Read "Conic Folded" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Patient jazz can be both restrained and determined. But, maybe the best word to describe the jazz of saxophonist/clarinetist Torben Snekkestad is persistent.

Alexandre Pierrepont / Mike Ladd: Maison Hantee

Read "Maison Hantee" reviewed by John Sharpe


There's a recurring argument about whether the marriage of jazz and poetry can ever be properly consummated, with strong opinions on either side, but the majority of adherents in the naysayers camp.

Townhouse Orchestra: Belle Ville

Read "Belle Ville" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Recensendo il primo, omonimo lavoro, di questa vera e propria “macchina da guerra" dell'improvvisazione che è la Townhouse Orchestra, sottolineavamo come l'esito fosse un ottimo esempio della volontà di rielaborare e rinnovare il linguaggio della libera improvvisazione, pur riconoscendone una direzione le cui strategie lessicali sono ormai ampiamente consolidate.
