Loren Connors & Jim O'Rourke: Are You Going To Stop...In Bern?

Read "Are You Going To Stop...In Bern?" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Recorded in 1997, this 2010 reissue--featuring guitarists Jim O'Rourke and Loren Connors--imparts a prismatic view of where experimentalism and Americana intersect folk-jazz, minimalism and improvisation. Connors' prolific discography hearkens back to the 1970s, releasing over 50 albums amid recordings with guitar legend John Fahey and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. Coupled with O'Rourke's worldly ...

Marc Copland Trio: Haunted Heart

Read "Haunted Heart" reviewed by John Kelman


Originally released in 2001, Marc Copland's Haunted Heart deserves re-examination and re-evaluation, as hatOLOGY brings one of the perennially undervalued pianist's most sublime trio recordings back into print. With the original subtitle--And Other Ballads--removed, those familiar with Copland's intimate approach will already know what to expect, especially with a trio that, in the early part of ...

Marc Copland Trio: Haunted Heart

Read "Haunted Heart" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Piano-trio niente male per essere il disco di un sassofonista. Scherzi a parte, Marc Copland mosse i suoi primi passi da professionista registrando alcuni dischi al sax contralto e suonando nella band di Chico Hamilton. Solo a metà degli Anni Settanta, trasferitosi a New York, abbandona lo strumento degli esordi per dedicarsi completamente al pianoforte. Forse ...

Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Dulcet Crush

Read "Dulcet Crush" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Potremmo soffermarci a discutere a lungo sul fatto che Dulcet Crush non contenga sostanziali elementi di novità. Che oltre quarant'anni fa Miles Davis aveva aperto la porta della contaminazione tra jazz e rock in maniera praticamente insuperabile. Che anni dopo un personaggio come Kip Hanrahan abbia rimescolato le carte introducendo sofisticate strategie produttive e vette assolute ...

John Zorn - George Lewis - Bill Frisell: More News for Lulu

Read "More News for Lulu" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nella gigantesca discografia di John Zorn, il progetto News For Lulu occupa un posto di assoluto rilievo, in primis per l'esito musicale, ma anche perché il trio del musicista newyorkese perviene a questo esito attraverso una sintesi linguistica tanto lucida quanto irruenta [e non sempre nei progetti zorniani queste due caratteristiche sono compresenti]. La rilettura, con ...

Vienna Art Orchestra: A Notion in Perpetual Motion

Read "A Notion in Perpetual Motion" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Tra le big band che hanno cercato, negli ultimi decenni, di esplorare territori espressivi i cui confini risultassero sempre mobili senza perdere di fascino e solidità, la Vienna Art Orchestra di Mathias Rüegg è certamente una delle più rappresentative. La Hatology ristampa nuovamente A Notion In Perpetual Motion e l'occasione è propizia per riavvicinarsi alla musica ...

John Zorn / George Lewis / Bill Frisell: More News For Lulu

Read "More News For Lulu" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


More News For Lulu was this trio's second album and, despite being recorded in 1989 and originally released on hatOLOGY Records (the father label to HatHut Records) in 1992, its crisp attack and buoyant execution holds up rather immaculately with this overdue reissue. A hybrid studio/live program, the artists effortlessly work through bop, and swing motifs ...

Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978

Read "Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


Jazz is often viewed as a progressive art form, one that by its very nature is constantly changing and reinventing itself. The paradox is that change isn't always what the audience wants to hear, so it frequently takes awhile simply to catch up. Such seems to be the case with the music of Anthony Braxton, one ...

Ellery Eskelin - Andrea Parkins - Jim Black: One Great Night... Live

Read "One Great Night... Live" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Strano a dirsi, ma in quindici anni di felicissima convivenza, Ellery Eskelin, Andrea Parkins e Jim Black non si erano mai tolti lo sfizio di pubblicare un live. Colpa di Eskelin e delle sue mire perfezionistiche, spiegano le note di copertina, della ritrosia del sassofonista nell'abbandonare il tepore dello studio. Che cosa abbia fatto cambiare idea ...

Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978

Read "Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Composer and multi-reedman Anthony Braxton's complex and personalized compositional paradigms emanated in the 1960s, underscored by 12 language types, diagrams, and other methodologies to complement the improvisation aspect. On this double-disc, 2009 reissue of a 1978 concert, Braxton employs a diverse dream team including reedmen Marty Ehrlich and Ned Rothenberg and trumpeter Kenny Wheeler. Consequently, Braxton ...
