Five Classic ECM Titles in High Res
by John Kelman
If ever there were a label that deserved to have its catalog released in a high resolution format, it's Munich's ECM Records. Since its inception in 1969, the multiple award-winning record label headed by producer Manfred Eicher has truly redefined how, initially, jazz and improvised music recordings could--and, at least for some, perhaps should--sound. Attention to ...
John Abercrombie Quartet: Up and Coming
by John Kelman
Starting the new year with, if not precisely a bang, a nevertheless unforgettable record whose strength lies in pristine lyricism, nuanced group interplay and writing that capitalizes on the entire quartet's appreciation of subtlety over gymnastics and refined lyricism over angularity, John Abercrombie's Up and Coming--ECM's first release of the year--is also founded strongly on the ...

Daniel Schlaeppi/Marc Copland: More Essentials
by Dan McClenaghan
The experience of this duo outing, More Essentials, begins with the packaging, the cover art, a gorgeous photo of two jelly fish immersed in the softened hues of shallow submersion in the sea. The disc spins, an introductory bass solo by Daniel Schlaeppi that leads into Miles Davis' Blue In Green," with pianist Marc Copland's liquid, ...

Tony Williams: Life Time
by Matthew Aquiline
By now, it's an irrefutable fact that drummer Tony Williams was the youngest preeminent figure within the avant-garde movement of the mid-'60s. Every jazz fan seems to know the events that led to his international fame: after intriguing trumpeter Miles Davis with his cutting-edge approach to drumming, he was hired and added to the groundbreaking Second ...
Donatello D'Attoma Story
by Claudio Bonomi
A tu per tu con Donatello D'Attoma, classe 1983, e astro pianistico crescente" e vitale del nostro jazz d'autore. Lo abbiamo incontrato due volte: la prima l'anno scorso, in occasione del Fasano Jazz, dove ha diviso il palco con il chitarrista norvegese Bjorn Solli (si trattava di una delle tappe estive del Watchdog Tour) e, recentemente, ...
Albert We Hardly Knew Ye
by Mark Corroto
The Chinese mystic philosopher Lao Tzu wrote, the flame that burns twice as bright, burns half as long." Although he never heard the music of Albert Ayler, we're sure that he would agree the saxophonist's fire music was luminescent. Ayler's career was indeed quite brief, recording only for a period of eight years until his untimely ...
Richard Poole, Marilyn Crispell, Gary Peacock: In Motion
by Maurizio Zerbo
In Motion è un disco sorprendente, con cui la Marilyn Crispell oltrepassa il proprio orizzonte espressivo di riferimento. Sin dal brano iniziale, si ha la sensazione di ascoltare qualcosa di diverso rispetto ai suoi precedenti percorsi iconoclastici. Cambia l'aura, in continua oscillazione tra trame formali ed informali, tra fraseggio lirico e flusso ritmico fluttuante. Rimangono inalterati ...
