Simon Barker, Henry Kaiser, Bill Laswell, Rudresh Mahanthappa: Mudang Rock
by Claudio Bonomi
Henry Kaiser aggiunge un'altra tessera alla sua ricerca etnomusicale sullo sciamanesimo coreano iniziata con Invite the Spirit nei primi anni Ottanta. Questa volta ad accompagnare il chitarrista californiano, paladino di un'avanguardia che da sempre centrifuga gli idiomi più disparati, dalla fusion alle musiche tradizionali, c'è un trio coi fiocchi formato dal bassista Bill Laswell, anch'egli esploratore ...
Henry Kaiser - Ed Pettersen: We Call All Times Soon
by Glenn Astarita
Listening to these experimental guitar duets may relegate daily life to an out of sight, out of mind condition. Thus, world-renowned avant-garde guitarist Henry Kaiser is also noted for his TV and film scores. And adventurous genre-hopping artist Ed Pettersen uses an 8-string Weissenborn-style lap steel guitar to help fuse an oscillating soundtrack for one's psyche ...
Wadada Leo Smith: Najwa
by Chris M. Slawecki
Trumpet player Wadada Leo Smith is one of the few musicians remaining from the original, founding generation of Chicago's legendary Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. But he has hardly rested since; Smith's Ten Freedom Summers (2012, Cuneiform) was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Music; in 2017, Smith swept the Downbeat Critics' ...
Wadada Leo Smith: Najwa
by Maurizio Comandini
Il trombettista Wadada Leo Smith chiama a raccolta i suoi fedelissimi per una nuova scorribanda nei territori dell'emozione, con la sua tromba spiritata che guida il cammino con saggezza e ferma determinazione, tracciando le linee guida attraverso le quali poi tutti i musicisti saranno chiamati a dare il proprio ampio contributo nella tessitura narrativa dei cinque ...
Sonar with David Torn: Vortex
by John Kelman
It might be all too simple to explain away Sonar, the Swiss twin-guitar/bass/drums quartet now in its eighth year together, through a series of touchstones. King Crimson, by way of that band's co-founder/guitarist Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft? Check. The influence of Nik Bartsch and Don Li's innovative meshing of Steve Reich-ian minimalism with deceptively complicated polyrhythmic ...

Wadada Leo Smith: Najwa
by John Sharpe
Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith is no stranger to plugged-in performance. Like Ornette Coleman and Miles Davis, his musical systems prove just as applicable to electronic as to all-acoustic environments. Indeed one of Smith's earliest such immersions was Yo Miles! inspired by Miles' 1970s guitar shredding bands. Multiple electric strings have also formed an integral part of ...
Wadada Leo Smith: Najwa
by Jerome Wilson
Wadada Leo Smith has been on an amazingly productive streak the last few years, creating ambitious work for all kinds of configurations, large orchestras, string ensembles, quartets, duos and solo. About the only format he hadn't explored lately was the dense electronic jazz-rock he's played in the past with his groups Organic and Yo! Miles. With ...
