Vienna Art Orchestra: The Minimalism of Erik Satie

Read "The Minimalism of Erik Satie" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La musica di Erik Satie si presta naturalmente a letture ambigue. Un repertorio pianistico da una parte di incantevole ma inquieta leggerezza; dall'altra di scura, mistica drammaticità. E una lucidità filosofica che ha precorso i tempi, quanto meno nell'indicare la funzionalità del suono nella società postindustriale. Anche la Vienna Art Orchestra, in queste sue riflessioni su ...

Anthony Braxton: Trio & Quintet (Town Hall) 1972

Read "Trio & Quintet (Town Hall) 1972" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

Time has an ability to obscure certain details of the past. This notion is apparent when considering the multi-decade oeuvre of visionary composer Anthony Braxton, whose restructuralist Tri-Axium Theory is as unique as Ornette Coleman's Harmolodic Theory or Cecil Taylor's Unit Structures. Braxton's use of pulse structures and multiple logics has long encouraged a considerable amount ...

ICP Orchestra: Jubilee Varia

Read "Jubilee Varia" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Nella sua ormai più che quarantennale avventura creativa, tra le più significative dell'impro-jazz olandese e europeo, l'Instant Composers Pool Orchestra ha affidato al disco materiali molto differenti, per umore [come è naturale data l'attitudine dell'organico] e per qualità, pur mantenendo sempre viva quell'attitudine all'imprevedibile, al guizzo - più o meno beffardo - e alla sorpresa. Jubilee ...

Paul Bley - Franz Koglmann - Gary Peacock: Annette

Read "Annette" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

È dedicato alla cantante/pianista Annie Peacock questo avvolgente CD del trio formato da Paul Bley, Gary Peacock e Franz Koglmann. È un trio superlativo, iridescente ed esemplarmente immaginifico nel disegnare con rigore austero tutte le sfumature dello spazio sonoro, silenzi compresi. Ne discende un percorso assai composito di grande libertà formale, che prendendo le mosse da ...

Anthony Braxton: Trio & Quintet (Town Hall) 1972

Read "Trio & Quintet (Town Hall) 1972" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Maybe the world wasn't ready for the music of Anthony Braxton back in 1972, when this concert was recorded, and maybe it wasn't ready for him, when it was released twenty years later in 1992. Then again, is it really ready for him today? Certainly, and this music is very accessible. This beautifully remastered ...

ICP Orchestra: Jubilee Varia

Read "Jubilee Varia" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

ICP Orchestra's recordings echo the dynamics and ingenuity of European progressive-jazz improvisation. The largely Dutch band, featuring co-founders, pianist Misha Mengelberg and drummer Han Bennink, instituted the ICP Orchestra in parallel with the ICP record label in the late 1960s. The critically heralded 1999 Hat Art album, Jubilee Variance, enjoys renewed life via this 2010 reissue. ...

by Raul d'Gama Rose

Karl-Heinz Stockhausen/Ives EnsemblePlus-Minushat(now)ART2010 There can be little doubt that the composer Karl-Heinz Stockhausen has had--and continues to have--an ever widening influence on contemporary music.

Vienna Art Orchestra: The Minimalism of Erik Satie

Read "The Minimalism of Erik Satie" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

This is starting to look like the year of Erik Satie. How else could there be two magnificent albums dedicated to his music? The first was Dan Willis and Velvet Gentlemen's The Satie Project (Daywood Drive Records, 2010), while this rerelease of 1984's classic, The Minimalism of Erik Satie, features Mathias Rüegg's large ensemble tribute to ...

Paul Bley / Franz Koglmann / Gary Peacock: Annette

Read "Annette" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

Those familiar with the music of Paul Bley, as well as Annette Peacock--after whom this album is named, and whose compositions are featured--will recall the nervy sense of creativity that flowed through their veins and music. In fact, the manner in which Peacock's work is described also fits Bley; both play music that is austere, exacting, ...
