Anthony Braxton: Seven Compositions (Trio) 1989
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ecco la riedizione importante di un disco che vede l'incontro raro di due personalità del jazz contemporaneo, in un momento di piena creatività. Anthony Braxton, giunto nel 1989 al culmine della sapida esperienza in quartetto con Marilyn Crispell, Mark Dresser e Gerry Hemingway. Tony Oxley, che dopo essere stato protagonista della fervida stagione creativa europea, si ...
Dave Douglas: Constellations
by Martin Longley
This reissue harks back to a time when trumpeter Dave Douglas seemingly operated within a more extreme zone of jazz improvisation. When this 1995 set was recorded at Radio DRS in Zurich, the trio had been together for three years, Douglas having built up a tight bond with guitarist Brad Shepik and drummer Jim Black but ...
Ran Blake & Anthony Braxton: A Memory Of Vienna
by Troy Collins
On November 19, 1988, a few days before the Cool Noir music festival in Vienna, composer Franz Koglmann finished recording Orte Der Geometrie (Hatart) with his Pipetet a couple hours earlier than expected. A number of high profile artists and musicians were in attendance for the festival, so efforts were made to utilize the remaining pre-paid ...
Horace Tapscott: The Dark Tree
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quando The Dark Tree fu registrato, nell'89, Horace Tapscott non aveva mai pubblicato dischi per un'etichetta europea e da vent'anni non incideva con il clarinettista John Carter (come membri del progetto Bob Thiele Emergency i due avevano inciso nel '69, per la Flying Dutchman, Head Start un disco che voleva essere una sorta di bigino di ...
Dave Douglas Tiny Bell Trio: Constellations
by Mark Corroto
With trumpeter Dave Douglas' 21st century star continuing to rise, the hatOLOGY reissue of his Tiny Bell Trio recording Constellations serves as a reminder of the not too distant past. Hearing Douglas, guitarist Brad Shepik, and drummer Jim Black circa 1995 provides the context in which to consider their more recent efforts. At the time of ...
Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Dulcet Crush
by Glenn Astarita
With his third group-led album for hatOLOGY, trumpeter Manuel Mengis projects multiple vistas within a progressive-jazz framework, spanning fusion, jazz-rock and experimental aspirations. Yet the key aspect lies with his ability to design a distinct band-centric stylization, as each subsequent release yields an extension of previously exercised routes. Mengis also abides by a polytonal outlook, resplendent ...
Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978
by Troy Collins
The 1970s were an exceedingly fertile time period for composer Anthony Braxton, whose considerable output was primarily documented by Arista Records, including his Creative Orchestra Music, which encapsulated the entire history of jazz--from Scott Joplin to Albert Ayler. One of these albums, the seminal Creative Orchestra Music 1976, was recently reissued as part of Mosaic Records' ...
Uwe Oberg / Christof Thewes / Michael Griener: Lacy Pool
by Glenn Astarita
Three well-versed European progressive-jazz denizens impart a rather majestic blend of song-form and improvisation when covering the late, great soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's discography. Approaching this album from a mindset that eliminates comparisons to Lacy's original performances lent to a more appropriate route for the listening experience. Without a saxophonist and bassist, the piano-trombone-drums ...
Lee Konitz - Martial Solal: Star Eyes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per chi teme che l'improvvisazione jazzistica, nata dalla tradizione africana- americana, non possegga sufficiente “allure" intellettuale, questa magistrale incisione dal vivo di Lee Konitz e Martial Solal servirà a fugare qualsiasi dubbio. Realizzata nel 1983, a Amburgo, essa raccoglie riletture e, direi, meditazioni su di una serie di standard, cui si aggiungono tre composizioni di Konitz ...
Uwe Oberg / Christof Thewes / Michael Griener: Lacy Pool
by Mark Corroto
Lacy Pool, by pianist Uwe Oberg, drummer Michael Griener, and trombonist Christof Thewes, demonstrates the “circles within a circle" puzzle that mathematicians have riddled over for centuries. The piano covers of soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's compositions were accomplished without the use of a saxophone, much like Lacy's interpretations of Thelonious Monk were made without a piano. ...
