Marius Neset/London Sinfonietta: Snowmelt
by Ian Patterson
That Marius Neset would eventually produce an extended orchestral-inspired work had been on the cards for some time. As early as his debut as leader, Suite for the Seven Mountains (Calibrated, 2008), the Norwegian saxophonist was incorporating strings into a contemporary jazz setting with a very personal stamp of authority. The extraordinary Birds (Edition Records, 2013) ...
Josh Green & The Cyborg Orchestra: Telepathy & Bop
by Jerome Wilson
Joshua Green is an award-winning composer who earns his living as Music Supervisor for ITV America, writing soundtracks for various reality television shows and commercials. On this CD he shows off his more creative side, putting together a set of large ensemble works that draws equally from jazz and contemporary classical music. Green mashes ...
Mahavishnu Orchestra: Apocalypse
by Julian Derry
Well, there's not much to say about the new release of Apocalypse. Well, not as much as many Mahavishnu fans had hoped; rumours of a long awaited and much needed remastering of this legendary album, making the rounds of the mailing lists were alas, premature. So what is this CD? Answer: it's the exact same, level-for-level ...
Chicago II (Steven Wilson Remix)
by John Kelman
It's rare that an opportunity presents itself to directly compare a high resolution remaster with a high resolution remix, but with last year's Quadio (Rhino) box set containing Blu Ray Audio versions (at 24-bit/192KHz) of its first nine studio recordings (including, curiously, a completely superfluous, early Greatest Hits package) and the recent, single-disc reissue of Chicago ...
A dialogo con Andrea Massaria
by Neri Pollastri
Nel 2009 intervistammo il chitarrista triestino Andrea Massaria, allora autore di alcuni dischi in trio e in quartetto, di genere abbastanza convenzionale ma di ottima fattura, che stava avvicinandosi a un universo per lui nuovo, fatto di sperimentazione e improvvisazione radicale, testimoniati dal CD con il Chladni Experiment Trio, 5053, e dalla partecipazione a una conduction ...
The Ed Palermo Big Band: One Child Left Behind
by Mario Calvitti
Quando il chitarrista/sassofonista, compositore e big band leader Ed Palermo decise di dedicare un intero concerto come tributo a uno dei musicisti che più avevano influenzato la sua formazione musicale da poco scomparso, non immaginava certo quanto la sua vita professionale sarebbe cambiata in poco tempo. La sua big band era in attività dal 1977, con ...
Dave Soldier: The Eighth Hour Of Amduat
by Roger Farbey
Let's be honest, this extraordinary recording isn't going to float everyone's boat. However, there are a lot of highly praiseworthy elements to be assimilated in this hour long CD. Dave Soldier (real name Dr. Dave Sulzer, a neuroscientist at Columbia University) has assembled an avant-garde jazz opera based on the oldest known musical score (the 8th ...

By 2014, Morten Schantz had released eight albums, four as a soloist and four with JazzKamikaze. Saxophonist Marius Neset has played alongside Django Bates and Anton Eger is also drummer with Phronesis. JazzKamikaze produces a fairly frenetic sound whereas Godspeed is ...
