Peter Brötzmann / Peeter Uuskyla: Dead And Useless
by Mark Corroto
Nothing new, just better. Let me rephrase that, Dead And Useless is not a new recording by saxophonist Peter Brötzmann and drummer Peeter Uuskyla, it was taken from the 2006 Born Broke (Atavistic, 2008) session and was the second disc of a 2-CD set. It is, though, remastered here as a loving vinyl release (somewhere Mats ...

Ivrea e Banchette--20-22.03.2014 Il trittico centrale del festival dedicato al duetto è partito la seconda sera a Banchette, in una Sala Pinchia esaurita da giorni, con Paolo Fresu e Daniele Di Bonaventura, il primo rivolto (come del resto gli accade da un po') più al flicorno che alla tromba, il secondo votato unicamente ...
Jeff Albert's Instigation Quartet: The Tree on the Mound
by Vincenzo Roggero
The Tree on the Mound si apre e si chiude con due composizioni di Fred Anderson. Nessuna sorpresa se pensiamo che Jeff Albert ed Hamid Drake sono stati allievi del grande sassofonista di Chicago e che Kidd Jordan ha avuto con Anderson una collaborazione proficua e duratura.

The blossoming of an artist is a beautiful thing. In order for a musician to thrive in today's jazz world, he must be willing to operate in multiple lineups, go on book tours, organize other musicians' shows, and record and promote his own music. A tall task, but saxophonist Dave Rempis has made the jump from ...

Wood Flute Songs: Anthology/Live 2006-2012
by Mark Corroto
A box set that includes over nine hours of one musician's output could be considered indulgent. Indulgent yes, unless that musician's last name is Parker. Certainly the family of Parker we're talking about includes the bebop innovator Charlie Parker, free jazz saxophonist Evan Parker, and jazz padrone William Parker . The latter Parker is a bassist, ...
