Eberhard Weber: Encore
by Luigi Sforza
Un viaggio in tredici città europee di Germania, Austria, Regno Unito e Spagna, un taccuino di appunti sonori come quello dei grandi viaggiatori dei secoli passati, una personale rappresentazione musicale di luoghi battuti, a tratti concreta, a tratti frutto di semplici suggestioni immaginarie dell'osservatore. Encore è un'epifanica illustrazione di spazi nel tempo, rappresenta uno ...
Stephan Micus: Nomad Songs
by Mark Sullivan
Multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus has lived in a sound world of his own for many years. World Music usually means borrowing from disparate musical cultures and combining them. But Micus creates World Music for a world of his own creation. He adopts traditional instruments from all over the planet, then combines them in original compositions without referencing ...
Manu Katché: Touchstone for Manu
by Mark Sullivan
Drummer Manu Katché found the spotlight supplying the groove to recordings by rock artists Peter Gabriel and Sting, then to jazz artists Jan Garbarek and Herbie Hancock. His four ECM recordings as leader showed him to be an accomplished composer and bandleader as well. Now that he has apparently left the label, Touchstone for Manu is ...

Gebhard Ullmann Basement Research: Hat and Shoes
by Alberto Bazzurro
Una partenza decisamente lanciata, per poi ricondurre il tutto lungo binari concentrati e anche cerebrali più tipici di Ullmann (che del resto non disdegna impennate più vociferanti e corrugate, come qui accade per esempio in “Don't Touch My Music"), dà la stura a questo nuovo album del polistrumentista tedesco, il cui livello riporta per l'ennesima volta ...
Bryan Eubanks / Stéphane Rives: fq
by John Eyles
Although they have not previously recorded together, the pairing of Bryan Eubanks and Stéphane Rives makes perfect sense. French soprano saxophonist Rives is already a long-serving Potlatch veteran, with this being his fourth release on the label, following in the wake of his 2003 solo soprano album Fibres, the ground-breaking saxophone quartet Propagations (Potlatch, 2007) and ...
Penetralia: Grix
by John Sharpe
Three Greeks based in the musical melting pot of Berlin comprise the cooperative Penetralia. Best known may be reedman Floros Floridis, who has worked with both late master bassist Peter Kowald and drummer Gunter “Baby" Sommer (on the bassist's Off The Road (Rogue Art, 2007) DVD). Completing the trio are Antonis Anissegos on piano and Yorgos ...
Marie Kruttli Trio: Kartapousse
by Bruce Lindsay
Kartapousse is the debut album from the Marie Kruttli Trio. Leader and composer Marie Kruttli, born in French Switzerland in 1991, is joined by two more young Swiss musicians, bassist Lukas Traxel and drummer Martin Perret, on a collection of her original compositions. It's a promising start to the trio's career. Apparently, Kartapousse is ...
Tré: Edle Einfalt
by Alberto Bazzurro
Trio dalle geometrie inusuali ma non per questo inaudite (pensiamo solo a un ipotetico, assolutamente realistico, Giuffre/Brookmeyer/Manne, le cui temperature fanno del resto capolino in episodi quali “Drachengedankenkampf," “Ninna nanna," per certi versi anche “Domino"), il tedesco Tré poggia le proprie fondamenta sulle larghe volute disegnate dal trombone di Thomas Lüthi, non fosse altro che per ...
For Free Hands: Kaleidoscope Freedom
by Alberto Bazzurro
Due bulgari, un tedesco e un greco compongono questo quartetto, che parla molto di lìbertà (nel suo nome, nel titolo stesso del disco) ma poi in realtà pratica un jazz alquanto prudente, aconflittuale, calato in una tradizione moderno-contemporanea largamente collaudata non esente da inflessioni country-rock. I temi sono tutti a firma del chitarrista ...
