Joe Harriott: Free Form & Abstract Revisited
by Stefano Merighi
La serie “revisited" della ezz-thetics, prodotta da Werner Uehlinger, ha raggiunto ormai un cospicuo numero di CD, tale da costituire un effettivo e riassuntivo corpo sonoro, a disposizione per ri-sistematizzare la storia del jazz d'avanguardia degli anni Sessanta del secolo scorso. Certe edizioni però sono più importanti di altre, nel senso che meritavano sul ...
Horace Silver: Live New York Revisited
by Stefano Merighi
Benchè il profilo artistico di Horace Silver sia preso a modello in modo paradigmatico per definire lo stile hard bop nel jazz moderno, è altresì interessante notare come Silver, sin dalle sue prime uscite, abbia sempre cercato di evitare gli schemi predeterminati che soprattutto le etichette discografiche cercavano di replicare dopo aver trovato la formula del ...
Miles Davis: Miles Davis With Tadd Dameron Revisited
by Chris May
1949 was a year of massive change for Miles Davis, and not in a good way. It began, in January, with him fronting the first of the recording sessions, made with a nonet, that became generically known as The Birth Of The Cool and which, if he had achieved nothing else of note, would have secured ...
Judith Wegmann, Marlies Debacker, Lukas Briner, Nicolas Wolf: Things in Between
by Alberto Bazzurro
Alternando in maniera molto svizzera (tre dei quattro musicisti coinvolti sono in effetti elvetici, con l'eccezione della sola Marlies Debacker, belga) brani per due pianoforti (i pari, con prefisso 2) ad altri con l'aggiunta di due batterie (brani dispari, prefisso 4), i primi in mani femminili, le seconde maschili, questo singolare quartetto ci regala un album ...
Matthew Shipp: Invisible Light - Live São Paulo
by Mark Corroto
Think About seeing someone perform with what looks to you like effortless joy. It may be how they glide across a stage, evenly cutting carrots, or nonchalantly pocket a foul ball. I hope you have noticed Matthew Shipp's studied casualness these past thirty-plus years of music making. His entire oeuvre of recordings and performances have set ...
Archie Shepp: The Way Ahead, Kwanza, The Magic Of Ju-Ju Revisited
by Mark Corroto
Allow me to expand on a much restated quote from Albert Ayler: “Coltrane was The Father, Pharoah was The Son, and I was... The Holy Ghost." If we remain with the Christian iconography, that makes Archie Shepp, Simon Peter, or the Apostle Peter whom Jesus called the rock upon which he built his church. Christened by ...
John Coltrane: Song Of Praise: New York 1965 Revisited
by Mark Corroto
Witness [ wit-nis ] an individual who, being present, personally sees or perceives a thing; a beholder, spectator, or eyewitness. Have you ever considered yourself a witness to history? If you answered in the affirmative, let me posit that it was only after time and reflection that this notion occurred to you. Did the ...
Miles Davis Quintets: Stockholm 1967 & 1969 Revisited
by Mark Corroto
Let me ask you, how many versions of Miles Davis do you recognize? Let us employ the word 'recognize' in terms of both, to identify and to approve. Listeners new to the world of Miles would be hard pressed to associate the artist seen and heard with Charlie Parker at New York's Three Deuces in 1947 ...
Archie Shepp: The Way Ahead, Kwanza, The Magic Of Ju-ju Revisited
by Chris May
2023 kicks off with the bangingest back-in-the-day bang from the Swiss-based ezz-thetics label, whose carefully curated and remastered 1960s sessions from Archie Shepp, Horace Silver, John Coltrane and Albert Ayler lit up the reissue calendar in 2022. Shepp's The Way Ahead, Kwanza, The Magic Of Ju-ju Revisited comes in at a whisker over ...
Cat Hope: Decibel
by Alberto Bazzurro
Uno sperimentalismo duro e puro, di marca non necessariamente jazzistica (l'impianto, e le stesse sottotitolazioni, sono di natura squisitamente contemporaneo-colta), è quanto ci arriva da questo nuovo lavoro della cinquantaseienne compositrice e polistrumentista australiana Cat (al secolo Catherine Anne) Hope, cui fa contorno un abbastanza agguerrito pool di musicisti si direbbe largamente sintonizzati sulla sua stessa ...
