Dragonfly Breath III: Live at the Stone: Megaloprepus Caerulatus
by Mark Corroto
Today's zen koan: why does a watched pot never boil? The answer to that question is found in the music of Dragonfly Breath III: because it is always boiling. The roil we speak of comes from the quartet of saxophonist Paul Flaherty, trombonist Steve Swell, violinist C. Spencer Yeh, and drummer Weasel Walter. The ...
Bram De Looze: Septych
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo aver evidenziato il suo talento appena sedicenne a capo del LABtrio (Fluxus, Outnote Records 2013), imponendosi come uno dei massimi giovani pianisti d'avanguardia, il belga Bram De Looze mostra d'avere altre frecce al suo arco, guidando un originale settetto con alcuni dei migliori nomi dell'avanguardia nord-europea. L'album si sviluppa in un percorso particolarmente ...
Satoko Fujii / Joe Fonda: Duet
by Budd Kopman
The story behind the creation of the miraculous album, Duet by pianist Satoko Fujii and bassist Joe Fonda is one of those things that makes one a believer in karma. Although both have played with reed man Gebhard Ullmann in various configurations, Fujii and Fonda had never met, and had not heard much, if ...
Insalata d'ance dal duo al quartetto: Gebhard Ullmann e dintorni
by Alberto Bazzurro
La partenza di questa nostra odierna circumnavigazione, che di primo acchito potrà anche apparire stravagante ma le cui motivazioni confidiamo appariranno poi piuttosto chiare, ha un nome e un cognome: Gebhard Ullmann, notevole sassofonista e clarinettista tedesco di cui ci occupiamo sempre volentieri. Nella fattispecie, lo troviamo coinvolto in tre recenti album (in un caso come ...
Phil Haynes: Sanctuary
by Neri Pollastri
Uscito nel 2015 ma registrato a Berlino nel 1999, presso gli studi della SFB e con il supporto di Gebhard Ullmann, questo disco documenta l'attività in solo di Phil Haynes, un tipo di performance piuttosto rara per un batterista ma che al contrario egli ha sempre portato avanti nel corso della sua lunga carriera.
Michael Jefry Stevens: Brass Tactics
by Budd Kopman
Anyone remotely interested “creative improvised music" (aka jazz) that intersects with the Classical aesthetic should take the time to listen closely to pianist Michael Jefry Stevens' latest release Brass Tactics. Stevens is a thinking man's player mostly known for his work in the Fonda/Stevens group (see Folk Five) and Conference Call, (with Gebhard Ullmann) ...
Artie Roth: Discern
by Budd Kopman
It has been quite a while since we have heard from bassist Artie Roth, as almost ten years have elapsed since Parallels. 2013 saw the current quartet on Currently Experiencing, clips of which can be found here. Discern, this quartet's latest offering is a dark, moody and powerful set of compositions brought to life by Roth ...
Marc Mommaas / Nikolaj Hess: Ballads & Standards
by Budd Kopman
Many, if not most, of today's jazz players end up, sooner or later, becoming composers. Hence, on top of searching for and hopefully finding their personal means of expression when performing (composing in real-time), they now must also develop a personal compositional style which fits their aesthetic outlook, and which is accessible enough by other players ...
Rich Halley 4: Eleven
by Budd Kopman
Following up on his wonderful previous release, Creating Structure, the Rich Halley quartet (Halley on tenor, trombonist Michael Vlatkovich, bassist Clyde Reed and drummer Carson Halley) strikes again with Eleven, tearing through eleven Halley compositions. The organizing factor of the previous album was how structure can arise and be perceived in music that is ...
Scott DuBois: Winter Light
by Dan Bilawsky
The journey from morning to night, from the dark and promising wintry dawn to the gelid day's goodbye, is one fraught with possibility. At least that's how guitarist Scott DuBois sees it. On Winter Light, Dubois tells the story of a single frigid day. It's as wondrous, chilling, atmospheric, and powerful as can be.
