Joëlle Léandre: A Woman's Work...

Read "A Woman's Work..." reviewed by Mark Corroto


How do you sum up the career of an improvising artist like Joëlle Léandre? Do you reissue a package of recordings from her 40 years of performance? That is probably not possible, given the multiple labels and the location and ownership of the masters. Besides, free improvisation, almost by definition, dissipates (or probably should dissipate) upon ...

Read "Il meglio del 2016 secondo Giuseppe Segala" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

Iniziano dunque le considerazioni, si tracciano e ...

Jeff Parker: Slight Freedom

Read "Slight Freedom" reviewed by Dave Wayne


One is tempted to think of Jeff Parker as the first guitar anti-hero. He's a subtle player, first and foremost, not given to showy pyrotechnics and rapid-fire flights of plectral fancy. His chameleonic, almost self-effacing, presence on recordings by Tortoise, Joey DeFrancesco, Isotope 217, Fred Anderson, the Brian Blade Fellowship, Peter Erskine, Nicole Mitchell, Yo La ...

Filippo Vignato

Read "Filippo Vignato" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


01. How Town -I Dare You Sea (Kleine Opa -2016). Per me una rivelazione, è il terzo album di questo gruppo vocale (leader il contrabbassista belga Lennart Heyndels) formato da giovani improvvisatori ed improvvisatrici nord-europei di immenso talento gravitanti attorno alla vivace scena olandese. Disco visionario per scrittura, suono, ricerca sulle possibilità dello strumento vocale ...

Due nuove gemme riaprono lo scrigno di Steve Lacy

Read "Due nuove gemme riaprono lo scrigno di Steve Lacy" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Ogni nuova occasione per ascoltare materiale inedito o comunque raro di Steve Lacy rappresenta un indiscutibile piacere (fra l'altro neanche poi così frequente), soprattutto per quanti lo reputano uno dei grandi maestri del jazz--diciamo così--post-parkeriano, tutto sommato ancora non adeguatamente messo a fuoco nel suo reale valore (e chissà se mai lo sarà). I due album ...
