Milder - Ljungkvist - Landæus - Augustson - Rundqvist: The Music Of Anders Garstedt
by Angelo Leonardi
Non era il debole sole del Nord ad animare la musica di Anders Garstedt ma un coinvolgimento nel modern mainstream anni cinquanta, sia statunitense che europeo. Parliamo al passato perchè il trombettista svedese è scomparso a soli trentun anni nel 2000. Era nato a Karlstad la città prospicente il lago Vänern e dopo aver studiato il ...
Mattias Risberg's Mining: Live In Stripa
by Mark Corroto
Science is beginning to acknowledge that life on earth probably began under the surface and not in some ocean. Millions of years ago, the atmosphere was so acidic, it could not support life. But underground, the conditions were ripe for single cell organisms to thrive. Today scientists discover bacteria that live nearly a mile underground without ...
Susanna Risberg: Bold As Love
by Ian Patterson
Listen to Susanna Risberg playing and it doesn't take long to realize that the twenty-eight-year-old Swedish guitarist is a bit special. Despite her relatively young years Risberg has been gigging for fifteen years already, turning more than a few heads along the way with a style that is unflashy yet exciting, technically impressive yet emotionally keen. ...
Atomic: Pet Variations
by Vincenzo Roggero
Sentirli e vederli dal vivo è un'esperienza auspicabile e appagante, il palco è la dimensione ideale per rimandare all'ascoltatore tutta l'energia della loro musica, una miscela esplosiva di free jazz, avanguardia, funky, tradizione europea. Stiamo parlando degli Atomic tra i primi a ribellarsi alle sonorità di un jazz scandinavo marchiato ECM e diventati nel corso degli ...
Atomic: Pet Variations
by Mark Corroto
The Scandinavian supergroup Atomic has always pushed back against tradition," be it the customary sound of Nordic jazz or--maybe more importantly--what most believe to be the avant-garde. Each member has a thriving career outside the quintet: bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten with The Young Mothers, The Thing, Rempis Percussion Quartet, and his own trio and quartets, drummer ...
Mattias Risberg: Stamps
by Alberto Bazzurro
Due anni fa, insieme col sassofonista--come lui svedese--Fredrik Ljungkvist, Mattias Risberg aveva dedicato a Carla Bley l'abum And Now the Queen (che già il titolo...); oggi trasferisce in solitudine in questo suo nuovo lavoro le sue passioni per le tastiere in senso lato, anche se poi, di fatto, Stamps è un album per piano solo (qua ...
Atomic: Six Easy Pieces
by Karl Ackermann
Founded in 2000, the Swedish/Norwegian group Atomic has remained true to their uncommon blend of American and European influences over the years. With only one lineup change since their inception, the quintet continues to pay homage--in equal parts--to the post 1960s era in the US, and the inherent innovations of Europe's northern-most region. With Six Easy ...
