Various Artists: New Improvised Music from Buenos Aires
by Mark Corroto
The answer to the musical question: where does improvised music thrive? Everywhere. Have you heard Lebanese trumpeter Mazen Kerbaj's recordings on Al Maslakh Records or free jazz from the Istanbul based unit Konstrukt? All that is required for improvised music to thrive are seeds planted by visiting musicians, or access to a radio. Actually, it is ...
Enrico Rava Special Edition at Teatro Nuovo
by Francesco Martinelli
Enrico Rava Special Edition Pisa Jazz Teatro Nuovo Pisa, Italy Sept. 25 2019 Enrico Rava, the musician who almost single-handedly gave Italian jazz an international profile in the '70s with his recordings, turns 80 this year and celebrates the milestone in the way he knows best: in music. He's ...
Burton Greene / Damon Smith / Ra Kalam Bob Moses: Life’s Intense Mystery
by Mark Corroto
Let's give credit to whomever assembled this swinging free-improvisation trio. Sometimes, no, invariably, all great improvised music results from the reciprocal nature of the musicians: not something done in response to another (although it can be) but by some subconscious agreement made by the players. A fine example is Life's Intense Mystery by the trio of ...
Jørgen Mathisen´s Instant Light: Mayhall’s Object
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un coltranismo piuttosto spinto, non solo nell'approccio strumentale del leader ma anche proprio nell'idea musicale globale dell'intero quartetto, caratterizza questo nuovo lavoro del trentaquattrenne sassofonista norvegese Jørgen Mathisen. Ciò fin dalla titletrack che apre il disco, unico brano con Mathisen al soprano, senza che peraltro si deroghi di un millimetro da tale postulato nei successivi cinque ...

Jazz on the Moon
by Ludovico Granvassu
On 20 July 1969, while Herbie Mann was over the figurative moon, because his Memphis Underground was the best selling jazz album in the country, the man was landing on the actual moon (apologies for the gender insensitivity here but otherwise the pun won't work...). What a day! 50 years later we celebrate the ...
Daniele Sepe: The Cat with the Hat
by Neri Pollastri
Dopo le divertenti e divertite avventure di Capitan Capitone e della sua ciurma, Daniele Sepe torna al jazz più proprio e lo fa con un giusto omaggio a uno dei suoi ispiratori: Gato Barbieri, scomparso tre anni fa e raramente ricordato quanto avrebbe meritato. Forse, come accenna lo stesso Sepe, per il fatto di essersi un ...
Adam O'Farrill: El Maquech
by Angelo Leonardi
A due anni di distanza da Stranger Days, suo prodigioso debutto da leader con la Sunnyside, il 24enne Adam O'Farrill cambia l'etichetta ma non l'organico, confermando il quartetto col fratello Zack alla batteria, il sassofonista Chad Lewkowitz-Brown e il bassista Walter Stinson. Nipote del leggendario bandleader cubano Chico O'Farrill e figlio del pianista Arturo, ...
Jazz & Soundtracks
by Ludovico Granvassu
Jazz has had a very close relationship with cinema and TV. To be perfectly frank in this relationship cinema and TV have not as generous as jazz has been towards cinema. Jazz has been only sporadically covered by quality movies. When that has happened the quantity of stereotypies and clichés about jazz spoiled them ...

by Mario Calvitti
Jan Garbarek Group Pavillon Kulturzentrum Hannover, Germania 20.11.2018 Nonostante un silenzio discografico che si prolunga ormai da parecchi anni (il suo ultimo disco in studio risale al 2004), il sassofonista norvegese Jan Garbarek mantiene sempre una intensa attività concertistica, svolta principalmente in Europa. L'essere stato per tanti anni forse il principale ...
