chuffDRONE, Treesearch & Mark Segger

Tyshawn Sorey, Marilyn Crispell: The Adornment of Time
by Giuseppe Segala
Se si focalizza l'attenzione sui duetti di pianoforte e batteria, balza subito alla mente il titanico Historic Concerts, che vide protagonisti Cecil Taylor e Max Roach nel dicembre del 1979, ormai più di quarant'anni fa. L'accento della musica era centrato sulla comune natura percussiva dei due strumenti, pur con tutte le differenze organologiche e tutte le ...

Gerry Hemingway
Born:
Gerry Hemingway, Composer, Percussionist, Singer-Songwriter, Visual Artist, Educator, has been a widely acknowledged contributor to the continuum of creative music for the past five decades. He was born in 1955 in New Haven, Connecticut to a family with musical interests (his grandmother had been a concert pianist and his father studied composition with Paul Hindemith). He became interested in drums around the age of ten and by the age of seventeen was supporting himself as a professional musician primarily in the jazz and bebop traditions. In the 1970's, New Haven was home for a number of interesting musicians. This was where Gerry first met and played with Anthony Davis, Wadada Leo Smith, George Lewis and Anthony Braxton. In the late 1970's, Hemingway, trombonist Ray Anderson, and bassist Mark Helias formed a collective trio which they eventually named BassDrumBone. In celebration of their 40th anniversary in 2017, the group released “The Long Road” with special guests Joe Lovano and Jason Moran.

The Creative Musicians Improvisers Forum: New Haven's AACM
by Daniel Barbiero
The late 1960s through the 1970s and '80s were difficult years for jazz and jazz-derived improvised music, but they were also years that saw musicians—by necessity—respond to these difficulties with creative solutions. With first the rise and then the commercial dominance during those years of rock music and the corresponding eclipse of jazz, creative musicians in ...

Kimura is well known in Ireland—her home for over twenty years—as a ...
