Neuköllner Modelle: Sektion 1-2
by Mark Corroto
The finest free jazz, that which is played at the highest levels, is actually quite tuneful. Not that the musicians rely on riffs or licks, or traditional themes. It is simply that the music, like an Abstract Expressionist painting, converges to form a whole. Just as a novice art student or someone without any art history ...
Julie Sassoon: Fourtune
by Duncan Heining
Fourtune is British pianist-composer Julie Sassoon's first quartet recording. Sassoon's musical approach draws in equal measure on her classical training and on a love of jazz and improvised music. This marriage goes far beyond the translation of a pianistic technique from one musical area to another but becomes something far deeper and more powerfully emotionally moving ...

Damir Out Loud: Graduation Day
by Luigi Sforza
Armoniosamente bipolare, o se si preferisce crocevia di esperienze stilistiche musicali apparentemente distanti tra loro, Graduation Day rappresenta innanzitutto un progetto di sintesi tra due evidenti pulsioni creative, ovvero il cool jazz di Gil Evans -morbido, multitimbrico e corposo -e la musica balcanica. Tra queste due polarità, che Damir Bacikin (serbo di origine e berlinese di ...
Angelika Niescier, Florian Weber: NYC Five
by Stefano Merighi
Una bella pattuglia di ragazze sassofoniste sono maturate in questi ultimi anni. E accanto alle varie Matana Roberts, Ingrid Laubrock, Mette Rasmussen, Virginia Genta, si accomoda ora Angelika Niescier, musicista davvero straordinaria, impegnata sia artisticamente che socialmente. Polacca di nascita, tedesca di adozione (dirige il Winterjazz a Colonia), giramondo di vocazione (ha lavorato nella striscia di ...
Markus Stockhausen, Florian Weber: Alba
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un'eleganza un po' esangue e piuttosto ritorta su se stessa caratterizza questo album del duo formato da musicisti separati esattamente da vent'anni l'uno dall'altro (1957 per Stockhausen, 1977 per Weber). Il rilievo non deve suonare come una censura nei confronti del disco, capace anzi di ammaliare l'orecchio e gratificare lo spirito. Il problema è che fa ...
Peter Brötzmann / Heather Leigh: Ears Are Filled With Wonder
by John Sharpe
Iconoclastic German reedman Peter Brötzmann has appeared in almost every conceivable combination and circumstance over the years, from the maelstrom of Last Exit to the austere horn choir of Sonore, via hook ups with almost everyone in between, counting such free jazz luminaries as Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker. However on Ears Are Filled ...
Andreas Willers / Urs Leimgruber: Pale White Shout
by Glenn Astarita
Guitarist Andreas Willers (Germany) and saxophonist Urs Leimgruber (Switzerland) are among Europe's most prominent improvisers and free-thinkers. On this outing their experimental metrics are quite rangy and focused, offering the antithesis to a madcap free-form blowing session. The duo alternates between controlled thematic buildups and subdued encounters with polytonal dialogues along with certain parts that elicit ...
