Rinascita a Chicago: le gemme dell’etichetta International Anthem
by Angelo Leonardi
Non è casuale che l'etichetta indipendente più innovativa nell'attuale panorama jazzistico (e non solo) sia nata e operi a Chicago. È noto infatti che la metropoli dell'Illinois è una delle capitali del jazz, avendo svolto un ruolo centrale in tutta la storia musicale afro-americana, talvolta paritetico con quello di New York. Nel 2014 ...

Francesca Naibo: Namatoulee
by Angelo Leonardi
La lezione di Derek Bailey, volta a estendere la libera ricerca improvvisata sulla chitarra, è stata esemplare ma pochissimi l'hanno seguita. Se negli Stati Uniti spicca Henry Kaiser nel nostro Paese i nomi si contano sulle dita di una mano ed il ricercatore più coerente e implacabile resta Roberto Zorzi. È quindi sorprendente il debutto di ...

Un Poco Loco: Ornithologie
by Mark Corroto
Somewhere Han Bennink is very jealous of the music making of the trio Un Poco Loco. The master of 'New Dutch Swing' hijinks would give his right crash cymbal to perform music in the manner this trio covers Charlie Parker on Ornithologie. The aptly designated Un Poco Loco ('a bit crazy') trio is trombonist Fidel Fourneyron, ...

Adam Rudolph: Ragmala and Prototypical Music
by Franz A. Matzner
Adam Rudolph has been seeking to push the boundaries of musical creativity for decades, developing a unique concept of composition, ensemble interaction, and conducting. As many writers have commented, his music resists critical commentary due to its prototypical nature. Said another way, Rudolph's music doesn't sound like anything else, and its antecedents are so varied that ...
