Greg Burk Trio: The Path Here
by Troy Collins
The Path Here, pianist Greg Burk's fifth release for the adventurous 482 Music label, finds the Rome-based American expatriate revisiting and reinterpreting some of the most engaging compositions of his youthful career, aided by old friends Jonathan Robinson (bass) and Gerald Cleaver (drums). Previously heard together with tenor saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi on Burk's 2004 quartet release ...
Girardi - Recchia - Senni - Burk: Spinoza
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dell'ultima infornata di Improvvisatore Involontario fa parte Spinoza. Nelle dotte note di copertina a firma di Davide Poggi si approfondisce la natura del pensiero del filosofo olandese per giungere infine a dimostrare il collegamento con esso da parte della musica di questo quartetto. Musica che persegue “...necessità nella contingenza, ordine nel disordine, geometrismo nella libera improvvisazione". ...
Greg Burk - Many Worlds (2010)
By Mark Saleski Several years ago, I happened upon a book called A Pattern Language. It was an odd purchase for me, because I'm not really an architecture person, at least not in the grand “Oooh, majestic building!" sense of the word. No, I was drawn to the book because the architectural patterns drawn and discussed—layouts ...

Rakalam Bob Moses - Greg Burk: Ecstatic Weanderings
by AAJ Italy Staff
C'è un brano, il quarto della track list, intitolato “Song of the Free Will," nel quale il pianista Greg Burk suona la batteria ed il batterista Rakalam Bob Moses si cimenta al piano. Al di là del risultato, tutt'altro che disprezzabile, è una chiara dichiarazione d'intenti sul modo di intendere la musica e di interpretare l'arte ...
Accurate Records: Growing Out of Boston
by Jakob Baekgaard
In the age of globalization, when almost every musician churns out his or her own record digitally, the boundary between being a one-man business and a record company is porous. However, while many of the new labels remain dedicated to a small circle of artists, there is also the more rarified example of the musician-based label ...
Greg Burk - Vicente Lebron: Unduality
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un album su Bach senza suonare filologicamente la musica di Bach è già qualcosa di insolito, ma suonarla in duo con un percussionista caraibico è davvero una scommessa. E' questo l'azzardo di Greg Burk con l'intento di far dialogare piano e moog con le congas, tambora, talkin drum etc. di Vicente Lebron. Anche se la musica ...

Greg Burk: Unduality
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Unduality, a duet between pianist Greg Burk and Dominican-born conguero Vicente Lebron, is quite simply the most innovative interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's “Invention #1" since conceived by the master. It could be one of the most striking re-imaginings of a previously composed piece, ever. In themselves, the Bach's Inventions are superlative creations demonstrating contrapuntal technique, ...
Greg Burk: Many Worlds
by AAJ Italy Staff
Già nel notevole e solitario The Way In Greg Burk aveva dato chiara dimostrazione di come il momento compositivo e quello dell'improvvisazione potessero consegnare frutti prelibati se fusi armoniosamente e guidati da una estemporaneità prospettica, in grado di sopravvivere al bruciarsi del momento. Con Many Worlds, la sfida si fa più appassionante e per certi versi ...
