Blumer-Dell-Geisser-Morgenthaler: Live at Loft Köln

Read "Live at Loft Köln" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Free improvisation can be a demanding proposition, particularly when four musicians dispense with familiar melodies, predictable rhythms and conventional solo structures. Yet the most accomplished practitioners understand that freedom alone does not guarantee compelling music. On Live at Loft Köln, bassist Fridolin Blumer joins vibraphonist Christopher Dell, percussionist Heinz Geisser and trombonist Robert Morgenthaler for six ...

Fridolin Blumer, Christopher Dell, Heinz Geisser, Robert Morgenthaler: Beyond Scope

Read "Beyond Scope" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Una seduta di libera improvvisazione (almeno nella sua sostanza primaria) fissata a Zurigo nell'ottobre 2024 è quanto ci giunge da questo album a quattro firme, le cui più addentro alla cosa sembrano Fridolin Blumer e, in seconda battuta, Heinz Geisser, anche se poi, nei fatti, ognuno dà il suo contributo in maniera assolutamente democratica, anzi, se ...

Fridolin Blumer: Beyond Scope

Read "Fridolin Blumer: Beyond Scope" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Are there norms in free improvisation? A better question might be: are there rules? Free improvisation has been called many things--instant composing, non-idiomatic improvisation, spontaneous composition, intuitive music--but no matter the name, the question of structure remains. To explore this, let's look beyond music to another art form: film. Specifically, the 1998 cult classic The Big ...

Ensemble 5: The Human Factor

Read "The Human Factor" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Un camerismo increspato che non di rado si fa decisamente nervoso è ciò che troviamo in questo nuovo album--l'ottavo, con i precedenti sette usciti su Leo fra il 2012 e il 2020--del quintetto svizzero (ma Dell è tedesco, di Darmstadt), inciso a Zurigo nell'ottobre 2022. Il lavoro svolto dai cinque procede generalmente facendo ...

Stefano Leonardi, Marco Colonna, Antonio Bertoni, Fridolin Blumer, Heinz Geisser: Aura

Read "Aura" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Aura è un buon titolo per questo lavoro, che vede impegnato il quintetto del flautista trentino Stefano Leonardi, già protagonista con lo stesso organico del CD l'Eterno, pubblicato nel 2018 sempre dall'etichetta Leo Records. Rispetto alla frenetica turbolenza che impregnava l'opera precedente, qui ci troviamo alla ricerca di una tavolozza che amplia gli episodi eterei e ...
