Chris Cheek / Victor Prieto: Rollo Coaster
by Martin Gladu
Chances are you have never heard the accordion played the way Victor Prieto plays it. Indeed, much like Toots Thielemans established the harmonica in the jazz lore huffing and puffing bop lines through his teeth, Prieto breaks the glass ceiling hovering above the crown of Cyrillus Demian's patented invention, squeezing improvised airs with a technical assurance ...
Spunk: Kantarell
by John Kelman
As challenging as free improvisation can be, the truth is that while it may appear to be an aimless mixture of sounds found or otherwise, in the right hands it is something that--best absorbed as a whole rather than a collection of individual parts--can be as beautiful as it sometimes is jarring and off-putting. Spunk pushes ...

Trygve Seim / Frode Haltli: Yeraz
by Budd Kopman
Yeraz is an intimate, deep and beautiful exploration of both instrumental sound and artistic reactions to many different influences.

Frode Haltli: Passing Images
by Budd Kopman
Frode Haltli does not play accordion, but rather makes music with an instrument that we call an accordion. Using carefully chosen musicians, Haltli has created, with Passing Images, a highly intense, very concentrated work that is both disconcerting and beautiful--something to be slowly savored and pondered. Its fifty-one minutes are full of surprises ...
Frode Haltli: Passing Images
by John Kelman
Abandoning the contemporary classicism of Looking on Darkness (ECM, 2002), Norwegian accordionist Frode Haltli's Passing Images looks, instead, to traditional Norwegian music for its inspiration. But Haltli, like accordionists Pascal Contet and Guy Klucevsek, stretches the boundaries of his instrument's capabilities--rarely takes things literally. His unfettered musical aesthetic, and the players that he's chosen to work ...
Frode Haltli: Passing Images
by AAJ Italy Staff
Come in molti lavori della ECM vi è poco o nulla di 'jazz' in questo Passing Images. Ma come accade in non pochi dischi licenziati dalla raffinata etichetta bavarese ci si può imbattere in piacevoli sorprese. E’ il caso del secondo lavora da leader del trentenne fisarmonicista norvegese Frode Haltli. Solida preparazione accademica alle spalle con ...
