Julie Tippetts: Didn't You Used To Be Julie Driscoll?

Read "Julie Tippetts: Didn't You Used To Be Julie Driscoll?" reviewed by Duncan Heining


The respect in which Julie Tippetts is held by her fellow musicians and fans is truly heartening--and truly deserved. Back in the late sixties, then Julie Driscoll, she gave up a very different career trajectory in music, one that had begun with Steampacket and continued with Brian Auger & The Trinity, to follow a journey characterised ...

The Blue Notes and the Brotherhood of Breath - Marching to a Different Drum

Read "The Blue Notes and the Brotherhood of Breath - Marching to a Different Drum" reviewed by Duncan Heining


Early one August morning in 1964, seven people crossed the border by train passing from South Africa into Mozambique. It was an unusual group of people--five black men, one white man and one white woman. Any “mixing of the races" was, of course, immediately suspicious in apartheid South Africa. The six men--Louis Moholo, Chris McGregor, Dudu ...

The Brooklyn Express: No Time Left!

Read "No Time Left!" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Registrato a Brooklyn nel giugno 2015, questo nuovo lavoro della Premiata Ditta Cavallanti/Tononi non tradisce neanche stavolta le attese, anzi rinverdisce atmosfere e -diciamolo pure -opulenze che la crisi globale in cui ci stiamo dibattendo ha finito spesso per mettere in un angolo (proprio per un fatto di dispiegamento di mezzi e forze). ...

Bob Downes Open Music: Blowin' With Bass

Read "Blowin' With Bass" reviewed by Claudio Bonomi


Bob Downes, compositore e polistrumentista britannico, estrae dal proprio magic box un'altra chicca che farà fellce gli appassionati di jazz, o meglio, di British Jazz. Il movimento che, a partire della fine degli anni Sessanta, produsse un pimpante manipolo di musicisti-pionieri che ancora oggi calcano le scene internazionali come Evan Parker, John Surman, Keith Tippett, John ...

Canto Generàl: Rebel Flames

Read "Rebel Flames" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Uno dei migliori CD usciti nel 2015, anzi forse il migliore tra gli italiani, è questo live di Canto Generàl, ospite alla batteria Louis Moholo-Moholo, con un repertorio anche per questo interamente dedicato al periodo d'oro di quel jazz sudafricano di cui proprio Moholo è l'unico sopravvissuto. Il lavoro -registrato in realtà nel 2007, ...

Avanti o indietro?

Read "Avanti o indietro?" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


La più o meno contigua uscita di reperti d'epoca di Jarrett, Osborne e Soft Machine ci induce a una disamina a largo raggio su cos'era e verso dove si muoveva il jazz, pur inteso in senso lato, nell'epoca in cui tanti ragazzi provenienti dal rock più o meno progressivo vi confluivano a frotte. Cercando anche di ...

Roberto Ottaviano: Forgotten Matches. The Worlds Of Steve Lacy (1934-2004)

Read "Forgotten Matches. The Worlds Of Steve Lacy (1934-2004)" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Il 4 giugno del 2004 veniva a mancare Steve Lacy, uno dei giganti della storia del jazz che, per molteplici motivi, non ha ricevuto l'attenzione e il successo di pubblico di altre figure del suo calibro. Tra le possibili spiegazioni sta probabilmente la scelta di dedicarsi interamente a uno strumento un po' particolare qual è il ...

Mike Osborne: Dawn

Read "Dawn" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Alto saxophonist Mike Osborne's career was relatively short--barely 20 years between his first gigs with the pioneering Mike Westbrook Band and his retirement from the music scene because of mental health problems in 1982. His discography is lengthy, but albums as leader are rare. Dawn draws together recordings from three relatively early sessions in Osborne's career--early, ...

Martin Speake: The Unquiet Mind

Read "Martin Speake: The Unquiet Mind" reviewed by Duncan Heining


We have here three very fine CDs from British alto saxophonist, Martin Speake. Speake is classically trained and when I first heard him in the late 90s, he brought to jazz a tone that emphasised the clarity of each note and the purity of the melodic line that was quite unusual in a music more used ...
