Gato Barbieri
Born:
Mystical yet fiery, passionately romantic yet supremely cool…You hear those first few notes from that instantly recognizable tenor and know you’re in the unique musical world of Gato Barbieri. Beginning professionally as a teenager playing alto sax in Buenos Aires clubs, Barbieri’s enduring career has covered virtually the entire jazz landscape, from free jazz (with trumpeter Don Cherry in the mid-60s) and avante garde to film scoring and his ultimate embrace of Latin music throughout the 70s and 80s. He began playing tenor with his own band in the late 50s and moved to Rome with his Italian born first wife Michelle in 1962, where he began collaborating with Cherry

Clifford Thornton: Ketchaoua Revisited + Arthur Jones Trio: Scorpio
by Alberto Bazzurro
Clifford Thornton è una di quelle figure rimaste fin troppo fra le pieghe della mitologia (sia detto ovviamente senza alcun intento ironico) free, e più ancora il pressoché sconosciuto altosassofonista Arthur Jones, l'uno nato a Philadelphia nel 1936 e scomparso nel 1989, l'altro nato a Cleveland nel 1940 e morto nel 1998. Questa preziosa ristampa, che ...
Alan Shorter: Mephistopholes To Orgasm Revisited
by Chris May
It is often said of a musician, be they alive or no longer with us, that they deserve to be better known. This is emphatically true of the wayward trumpeter and composer Alan Shorter, who was overshadowed during his lifetime by his brother, Wayne Shorter, and who continues to be passed over today in 2024.
Franco D'Andrea, Franco Tonani, Bruno Tommaso: Modern Art Trio

Fin dal 1971, anno di pubblicazione dell'unico disco che ne documenta l'attività, Modern Art Trio ha fatto parlare tanto di sé. E quel lavoro non cessa di parlare a sua volta all'ascoltatore, riattizzando da punti di vista sempre nuovi l'originaria passione. D'altra parte, è lo stesso Franco D'Andrea a sottolineare l'importanza del Modern Art Trio: “Da ...

Luis Vicente 4tet: House In The Valley
by John Sharpe
Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente wrote the four compositions which make up House In The Valley during lockdown. His intention was to evoke childhood memories of times at his grandparents' rural house. Judging from the outcomes there must have been a lot of '60s American New Thing on the turntable at the time. In particular the way ...
