Gunter Baby Sommer: Baby's Party
by Mark Corroto
The music from the German duo of Günter Baby Sommer and Till Brönner is best described as gestural, meaning the pair utilizes posture and body movement to effect an oratory--in this case the somatic nature of Sommer's drum and percussion work and the flow of breath through Brönner's trumpet and flugelhorn. On the occasion ...
Ulrich Gumpert Quartett: A New One
by Giuseppe Segala
Andare in profondità con gli strumenti della leggerezza e dello spiazzamento ironico. Queste le prerogative di Ulrich Gumpert, storico esponente della scena creativa europea, che negli anni Settanta fu cofondatore del quartetto Synopsis insieme a Konrad Bauer, Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky e Günter Baby Sommer, tra le cui realizzazioni c'è un album dal titolo che susciterebbe immensa invidia ...
Raymond MacDonald: Man with Two Brains
by Duncan Heining
By way of introduction... Saxophonist Raymond MacDonald is a busy man. He balances the life of a gigging, recording musician with a high-flying academic career and, in both respects, his reputation has grown far beyond his Glasgow home. As a musician, he is perhaps best known for his work with the George Burt/Raymond MacDonald ...
Fabric Trio: Murmurs
by John Sharpe
While it would be an exaggeration to suggest that there was a house style for the adventurous Lithuanian No Business imprint, the European saxophone trio nonetheless forms a significant strand in its output. Recent winning entries in the format have included sets from the Anglo Polish Riverloam Trio, Thomas Borgmann's excellent US-German unit, and Evan Parker's ...

Günter Baby Sommer: Dedications
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se tutti i musicisti festeggiassero i propri settant'anni come sta facendo Günter Baby Sommer in questo 2013, ci sarebbe da fare festa permanente. Il batterista percussionista di Dresda che da sempre condivide lo stesso spirito libertario e iconoclasta di alcuni dei più radicali musicisti dell'area continentale è universalmente riconosciuto, sin dagli inizi della sua carriera, ma ...
Gunter Baby Sommer: Kommeno - A Threnody
by Duncan Heining
Seventy years ago, the small village of Kommeno in Greece experienced a tragedy from which it has never really recovered. What happened there on August 16, 1943 was not unusual in the context of a war pursued by an enemy determined to stamp out all opposition. Other towns in Greece and its islands, such as Distomon ...

Wadada Leo Smith / Louis Moholo-Moholo: Ancestors
by John Sharpe
There is a natural fit between drums and trumpet. It stretches back all the way into prehistory, with the shamanistic combination of animal horns and percussive devices, persisting up until the early twentieth century in military drum and bugle corps who passed signals and directed troop movement. That synergy continues to bear artistic fruit to the ...
