John Hollenbeck, Michael Attias & Nordic Artists
by Maurice Hogue
This show has a bit of wanderlust. It starts and closes with music by artists from Scandinavia (an all-star band honouring the music and spirit of Albert Ayler, then at the end a new Norwegian/Swedish quartet called Unionen followed by Nacka Forum celebrating its 25th year and the closer by the Finnish trio Hot Heros). The ...
Rodrigo Amado: Beyond The Margins
by Troy Dostert
The aptly titled Beyond the Margins is just the latest entry in tenor saxophonist Rodrigo Amado's burgeoning catalog, and it is certainly further proof that Amado is among the most exciting and accomplished practitioners of free music in the jazz world.

Ada Rave / Aaron Lumley / Onno Govaert: Bioluminus

Rodrigo Amado: Refraction Solo
by Mark Corroto
Are you familiar with Pablo Picasso's found art sculpture “Bull's Head"? It was created in 1942 from bicycle handlebars and a bike's saddle. Picasso was walking down the street and spotted the discarded items, and in a flash joined the two, creating an obvious depiction of a bull's head. That same spontaneous moment of creation informs ...
The Attic: Love Ghosts
by Troy Dostert
Portuguese tenor saxophonist Rodrigo Amado maintains a busy recording schedule, involving dates with heavy-hitters like Joe McPhee, Alexander von Schlippenbach and Peter Evans, in addition to his own lineups, which do not always generate the same kind of buzz. One of his relatively under-recognized groups is The Attic, an outfit which includes bassist Gonçalo Almeida and ...

by Martin Longley
Belgrade Jazz Festival Dom Omladine/MTS Dvorana Belgrade, Serbia October 26-30, 2022 There are now early signs that some festivals might be set to struggle during 2023, but even if certain aspects are reduced, much of the damage can be cosmetically screened. So far. Perhaps it depends on ...
Moers Festival Interviews: Spinifex
by Martin Longley
Spinifex will make an extremely welcome return to the Moers Festival in early June 2022.

Heavy activity over a decade's span makes this ...
