Same could be said for the first musician to improvise. Next came New Orleans jazz, which could be documented by ...
konstruKt: Turkish Free Music
by Mark Corroto
When we think of the term “virus," we equate it with human disease or an infection, as in a computer virus. But consider the musical virus known as free jazz, or improvisation. Its origins can be traced back to a Louis Armstrong solo deviating from his brass band's arrangement. Quickly, his extemporizing blossomed into jazz music ...
Vandeweyer / Van Hove / Lovens / Blume: Quat Live At Hasselt
by Glenn Astarita
This live sound recorded at a Belgian venue vividly transfers to disc, augmenting the dual percussionist-backed quartet's investigative mechanics amid crashing cadenzas, moments of quietude, and multilayered formulations.
