Frank Gratkowski, Sebi Tramontana: Live at Španski Borci
by Vic Albani
So perfettamente di scoprire l'acqua calda con la seguente affermazione, ma credo sia comunque ricordare come--nell'universo della musica contemporanea -in un momento in cui la cosiddetta creatività sembra mancare o essersi esaurita almeno in uno dei suo filoni essenziali, chi continua diritto per la propria strada non sembra minimamente risentire del non-interesse che avvolge in toto ...
Mount Meander: Mount Meander
by John Sharpe
While it might seem that there is a production line for outfits hailing from Scandinavia, Mount Meander demonstrates that the output is far from standardised. Comprising two Germans in pianist Lucas Leidinger and drummer Thomas Sauerborn, along with the Copenhagen-based pair of Latvian saxophonist Karlis Auzins and Polish bassist Tomo Jacobson, the collective quartet shares a ...
Achim Kaufmann, Frank Gratkowski, Wilbert de Joode: Oblengths
by Giuseppe Segala
"L'improvvisazione collettiva è una disciplina che richiede buone orecchie, tempo di reazione immediato e abbondanti qualità musicali." Riportiamo volentieri le parole usate da Kevin Whitehead nel breve saggio che accompagna questo CD, per la loro eloquente intensità. Aggiungiamo che l'ascolto dell'improvvisazione collettiva si avvicina a tale disciplina: prevede buone orecchie, disposizione ad entrare senza timore in ...
Squakk: Willisau & Berlin
by John Sharpe
Four Germans combine for a set that recalls some of the classic Anthony Braxton quartet sides with George Lewis or Ray Anderson from the 1970s. Common ground abounds in their free-bop structures and the delightful interplay as between reeds and trombone as they slip in and out of both tunes and time. There are also other ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Il tenorsassofonista tedesco Matthias Schubert, una trentina d'anni fa tra le maggiori promesse del jazz europeo (e come tale inserito in formazioni che in qualche modo ratificavano tale status), strada facendo--in realtà uscendo spesso e volentieri dal nostro cono di luce--si è avvicinato alla composizione pura, con risultati che questo CD, inciso a Colonia nel dicembre ...

by Glenn Astarita
Featuring an international cast, Matthias Schubert conducts a program that snugly resides in the avant-garde space. Each track is outlined in the liners, citing connotations, inspirations and homages, where it's up to the listener to connect the dots via his or her interpretations. It's a hybrid offering engineered with asymmetrical parts of classical, jazz improvisation, John ...
