Mary Halvorson - Reuben Radding - Nate Wooley: Crackleknob
by AAJ Italy Staff
C'è qualcosa di profondamente “politico" nella musica del trio Crackleknob, composto equilateralmente dalla chitarra della sempre più autorevole Mary Halvorson, dal contrabbasso di Reuben Radding e dalla tromba mutante di Nate Wooley. Se uso questo termine, ben conscio tra l'altro di venire probabilmente frainteso, lo faccio non perché nelle intenzioni dei tre musicisti ci sia un ...
Clusone 3: Soft Lights and Sweet Music
by AAJ Italy Staff
Frutto sapido di un incontro virtuoso tra la scena olandese e lo storico festival del capoluogo della valle Seriana, il Clusone Trio ha avuto vita breve, ma di intensa creatività. Nella dirompente scena olandese il sassofonista e clarinettista statunitense Michael Moore si era inserito fin dai primi anni Ottanta, giungendo subito a condividere avventure musicali con ...
Steve Lantner: Given - Live In Munster
by John Sharpe
What is called free jazz can cover a very wide spectrum of creative music, not all of which is as unfettered as the name implies. At the most basic level, choice of instrumentation is a clear limitation, while pre-agreed moods or written heads may further reduce the possibilities. On Given, the second release ...
Steve Lantner Quartet: Given - Live In Munster
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'atmosfera riflessiva, destrutturata, irreale e sospesa di piano e sax, all'inizio del primo brano, è la perfetta introduzione a un percorso che si sviluppa attraverso una musica atonale e lungo una traiettoria di perfetta libertà organizzata. Il disco, pur mantenendo sempre una dimensione fortemente astratta, alterna momenti di forte atonalità, ma sempre in qualche modo eterei ...
Mary Halvorson, Reuben Radding & Nate Wooley: Crackleknob
by Troy Collins
A compelling example of evenhanded group improvisation, the self-titled debut of the collective trio Crackleknob demonstrates the sort of congenial rapport fueled by longstanding friendships. Up and coming improvisers on the nascent Brooklyn scene, guitarist Mary Halvorson, bassist Reuben Radding and trumpeter Nate Wooley first played as a trio four years ago. Since then, they have ...
Anthony Braxton: Seven Compositions (Trio) 1989
by Troy Collins
Responsible for some of the most esoteric and uncompromising music of the past four decades, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader Anthony Braxton is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, due in part to the critical acclaim afforded former students and current sidemen like Taylor Ho Bynum and Mary Halvorson. Braxton's work is one of constant evolution; ...
Joe Morris Bass Quartet: High Definition
by AAJ Italy Staff
Assai più noto come chitarrista originale, stilisticamente poco assimilabile a qualsiasi modello di riferimento nell'ambito dell'improvvisazione, il bostoniano Joe Morris ha da qualche anno allargato la sua attenzione anche verso il contrabbasso, strumento con il quale non raggiunge l'eccellenza della sei corde, ma che gli consente di ampliare ulteriormente i propri orizzonti espressivi, cabina di comando ...
Steve Lantner Quartet: Given - Live In Munster
by Glenn Astarita
Pianist Steve Lantner possesses the uncanny and, in certain respects, enviable manner to triumphantly fuse free-jazz elements with microtonal inferences and the twelve-tone system. With a superb support structure in place featuring a wonderful foil in multi-reedman Allan Chase, Lantner's quartet presents a study in contrasts, all enhanced with its radiating contrapuntal maneuvers and synergistic group-centric ...
Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet: Asphalt Flowers Forking Paths
by Glenn Astarita
Since his studies and performances with new music and improvisational pioneer Anthony Braxton, hornist/composer Taylor Ho Bynum has assumed many musical hats amid his incredibly all-embracing vernacular. Whether it's avant chamber-jazz, large scale orchestra fare or variable ensemble groupings, his ascent towards the upper echelon of today's forward-thinking artists cannot be understated. Bynum's ability to seamlessly ...
Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet: Asphalt Flowers Forking Paths
by Troy Collins
Cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum has garnered a considerable amount of acclaim since his stunning debut as an ensemble leader on Other Stories (Three Suites) (482 Music, 2005). Widely considered composer Anthony Braxton's most promising former student, Bynum continues to work with his former mentor, acting as one of his key collaborators, while maintaining a distinct identity ...
