Mark Turner: Reflections on: The Autobiography on an Ex-Colored Man

Read "Reflections on: The Autobiography on an Ex-Colored Man" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Una musica molto composta, predefinita, intenzionale, il tutto da allargare all'essenza stessa di opera nella sua accezione più onnicomprensiva, è quanto ci arriva da quest'ultimo lavoro del fresco sessantenne (il 10 novembre) tenorsassofonista dell'Ohio. Non c'è solo musica, in effetti, in quest'ora e un quarto appena scarsa di suoni e parole (narrate, non cantate), perché qui ...

Eric McPherson: Double Bass Quartet - Live

Read "Double Bass Quartet - Live" reviewed by Pierre Giroux

by Pierre Giroux

Drummer Eric McPherson has long been recognized as a musician who combines rhythmic ingenuity and structural awareness in any project he undertakes. With Double Bass Quartet, recorded before a quietly appreciative New York audience, McPherson has assembled an unconventional line-up of Cuban pianist David Virelles along with bassists John Hébert and Ben Street, that challenges and ...

Neta Raanan: Unforeseen Blossom

Read "Unforeseen Blossom" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Un album di debutto della durata di quasi ottanta minuti ha tutta l'aria di un'impresa ardita, se poi a intraprenderla è una giovane sassofonista pressoché sconosciuta si aggiunge anche una massiccia dose di incoscienza. Evidentemente Neta Raanan non si fa intimorire e con un quartetto completato dalla batteria di Kayvon Gordon, il basso di Simon Wilson ...

The Fury: Live in Brooklyn

Read "Live in Brooklyn" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

È quella del chitarrista Lage Lund la firma principale di questo album squisitamente corale (fin dal nome in ditta): tre dei sette brani complessivi sono infatti suoi, due di Mark Turner, uno del contrabbassista Matt Brewer, e in più c'è l'unico brano non dovuto a membri del gruppo, il primo, a firma del sassofonista Myron Walden. ...

Ben Solomon: Echolocation

Read "Echolocation" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Fra cascami coltraniani, evidenti fin dalle prime note del brano iniziale (ma del resto fin dal nome dell'etichetta produttrice dell'album), e un linguaggio risciacquato anche in acque un po' più contemporanee, questo live album (incisione del dicembre 2023) del giovane tenorsassofonista (in altre occasioni anche sopranista) Ben Solomon ci offre una musica solida e ottimamente congegnata, ...

Mark Turner and Jason Palmer: Not Even The Sky Is The Limit

Read "Mark Turner and Jason Palmer: Not Even The Sky Is The Limit" reviewed by Pat Youngspiel

by Pat Youngspiel

The independent non-profit label Giant Step Arts continues to cultivate its narrow but highly selective roster of top-tier players with new live recordings by label-regulars Mark Turner and Jason Palmer. Each has been a part of the other's quartet for several years at this point, endowing their respective projects with the unifying contours of their idiosyncratically ...
