Kenny Dorham: From 'Round Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia To Matador Revisited
by Chris May
In his mostly sane and admirable book Black Nationalism and the Revolution In Music (Pathfinder Press, 1970), Frank Kofsky describes Kenny Dorham as “house trained." The calculated insult attempts to conflate Dorham's respect for form and structure with an Uncle Tom outlook on the world. Some might say Dorham would have been justified in following (or, ...
Marion Brown: Three For Shepp To Gesprachsfetzen Revisited

Eric Dolphy: Outward Bound To Out To Lunch Revisited
by Stefano Merighi
Il valore incalcolabile dell'opera di Eric Dolphy sta passando un po' in secondo piano nel nostro tempo di ascolti rapidi e deconcentrati. Ben venga allora questa edizione, anche se rimane la perplessità dell'accorpare due dischi che pochissimo hanno in comune e che sono comunque ancora a disposizione negli ottimi originali. Dal 1960 al 1964 ...
Daniel Studer: Extended II For Strings & Piano
by Alberto Bazzurro
In questo live zurighese del novembre 2021 “i musicisti--veniamo informati--sono disposti intorno al pubblico: il pianoforte al centro, il violoncello davanti a sinistra, il violino davanti a destra, la viola dietro a sinistra e il contrabbasso dietro a destra. Per ottenere l'impressione spaziale più accurata della stanza, la registrazione binaurale dovrebbe essere ascoltata in cuffia."
Cecil Taylor Unit: Live At Fat Tuesday's February 9,1980 First Visit
by Chris May
More faux-intellectual codswallop has been written about Cecil Taylor than about any other jazz musician, dead or alive. He has been, and continues to be, misrepresented as an arcane Einsteinian theorist by a cult whose members are afraid of visceral reactions to his art (or to anyone else's). But Taylor's work demands a visceral response. It ...
Calato: John Cage Variations + FOUR6
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il quartetto “di improvvisazione e composizione sperimentale" argentino denominato Calato, nato nel 2010 (la presente incisione risale al dicembre 2017), si muove tra cascami free e rumorismo contemporaneo palesando grande dimestichezza con la materia, che, nello specifico, coincide con sette variazioni brevi (da uno a sei minuti appena scarsi) ideate da John Cage a cavallo fra ...
