Jakob Baekgaard's Best Releases of 2014

Read "Jakob Baekgaard's Best Releases of 2014" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard


2014 proved to be another fruitful year for jazz. The artists on this list represent many different musical directions, but that is the wonder of jazz. It is so many things and the world would indeed be poorer if the idiom was restricted to one particular sound. These artists all have a fresh approach to the ...

Evan Parker, Barry Guy, Paul Lytton: Live at Maya Recordings Festival

Read "Live at Maya Recordings Festival" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Ci sono musicisti che indagano per tutta la loro vicenda artistica la stessa musica. Lo fanno con assoluta convinzione, concentrazione sugli obiettivi (estetici, tecnici, espressivi), con ampia varietà di dettagli e comunque all'interno di un quadro globale di sviluppo dove non mancano le sorprese, le digressioni, le smentite seppur coerenti. Forse i grandi artisti hanno sempre ...

The Whammies: Play the Music of Steve Lacy Vol. 3 Live

Read "Play the Music of Steve Lacy Vol. 3 Live" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Snocciolando un mazzetto di temi (ciascuno con la sua brava dedica) certo non fra i più trafficati del repertorio di Steve Lacy, alla cui musica si vanno dedicando da alcuni anni con ammirevole applicazione e felicità ispirativa, The Whammies confezionano un'altra piccola (o grande?) gemma, stavolta con la particolarità della dimensione live (nello specifico nel marzo ...

Simon Toldam Trio: Kig Op 14

Read "Kig Op 14" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard


Music is a sensory art. Hands touching the keyboard, bass strings that are plucked and the rustling of cymbals. Sounds form patterns and familiar sounds become clichés and then the trouble starts. The immediacy of the first movement, that first touch is lost. In a sense, every musician battles this process that dulls the listener's senses ...

Bimhuis at 40: Older, Better, Business as Usual

Read "Bimhuis at 40: Older, Better, Business as Usual" reviewed by Joan Gannij

KJ Dave Doran & Christy Doran feat. Mr. Defunkt Joe Bowie: XL Target

Read "XL Target" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini


Christy Doran aveva già provato l'ebbrezza del trio chitarra/trombone/percussioni alla fine degli anni ottanta con Ray Anderson e Han Bennink (con Azurety del 1994 e Cheer Up del 1995 per la Hatology, parzialmente ristampati in un CD unico nel 2011, A B D), peraltro con eccellenti risultati. Ma con questo nuovo album tutto viene resettato e ...

Talos Festival Bande 2014

Read "Talos Festival Bande 2014" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Talos Festival Bande 2014 Ruvo di Puglia 4-14.09.2014 Se ogni festival che si rispetti ha una sua fisionomia più o meno chiaramente orientata, l'identità del Talos di Ruvo di Puglia corrisponde pienamente a quella del suo direttore artistico Pino Minafra: ne riflette infatti la personalità passionale, le convinzioni, l'impegno socio-politico a favore ...

Save the Date - Settembre 2014

Read "Save the Date - Settembre 2014" reviewed by Luca Canini


Settembre è il mese del ripensamento. In questo caso doveroso perché si chiude un agosto strano e complicato per il jazz italiano. Un agosto che ha perso per strada il festival di Sant'Anna Arresi, posticipato in blocco a data da destinarsi, e gran parte di quello di Rocella, prima rinviato a dicembre (notizia diffusa attraverso un ...

The Whammies: Play The Music of Steve Lacy Vol. 3, Live

Read "Play The Music of Steve Lacy Vol. 3, Live" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The third volume of Steve Lacy dedications by the cover/not cover band The Whammies is a live recording from their 2014 tour. Recorded in Italy and Austria, the band performs their self-described “instant-arranging" of mostly Lacy tunes that in true-to-form fashion elicit surprise and clever improvisation.Saxophonist Steve Lacy, who passed away in 2004, would ...
