Intervista a Corrado Beldì, Direttore Artistico di NovaraJazz
by Neri Pollastri
Tra i festival nazionali NovaraJazz sta sempre più guadagnandosi un posto di rilievo, vuoi per l'originalità delle proposte artistiche, spesso arricchite da produzioni originali, vuoi per il modo singolare in cui vengono realizzati gli spettacoli, disseminati nel tessuto cittadino e negli spazi naturali che lo circondano.

Angles 9: Disappeared Behind the Sun
by John Sharpe
On the sixth release from reedman Martin Küchen's mid-sized Angles ensemble, all the winning traits so evident on previous outings are still present and correct: heart wrenching melodies, huge foot-tapping riffs, sweeping chorales and adventurous raw soloing, not least by the leader himself. Many of the same top notch players remain on board, notably trombonist Mats ...
Oddjob: JAZZOO
by James Pearse
With five diversely themed full-length albums (all Grammy-nominated) under its collective belt, it was anyone's guess as to where Swedish jazz ensemble Oddjob would take its music next.

Svenska Kaputt is a hybrid band comprising acclaimed musicians from Stockholm, Sweden's busy jazz and rock scenes. The debut recording, Svenska Kaputt, is a heady brew of jazz exploration (influenced by artists active in the late 1960s) with that of psychedelic and progressive rock (bands from the late 1960s and early 1970s).While saxophonist Jonas ...

Nils Berg Cinemascope: Popmotion
by James Pearse
There are concept albums and then there is concept music. While progressive rock and pop artists habitually follow a specific theme or develop a story over the course of an album, some musicians offer entirely new models of composition. Popmotion, the debut album by Swedish trio Nils Berg Cinemascope, falls unquestionably into the latter category.
