Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Mauch Chunk
by Troy Collins
Any concerns that a personnel change would affect the mercurial disposition of the “terrorist bebop band" known as Mostly Other People Do the Killing have been confirmed as unfounded by Mauch Chunk, the wily ensemble's eighth studio recording for Hot Cup Records. Trumpeter Peter Evans, an original member since the core quartet's founding in 2003, left ...
Matthew Shipp Trio: The Conduct of Jazz
by Troy Collins
One of today's foremost pianists, Matthew Shipp has demonstrated the breadth of his artistry in numerous settings over his three decade career, including genre-defying electro-acoustic experiments. Recent years have found him narrowing his focus to concentrate on intimate acoustic efforts however, especially in one of the jazz tradition's most venerable formats--the classic piano trio.
Poker di Jon Irabagon
by Stefano Merighi
Il jazz di oggi è sicuramente policentrico, continuando in questo la sua stratificata tradizione. Sempre più spazio trovano artisti americani di origini diverse. Tra essi, il sassofonista Jon Irabagon (sangue filippino) è emerso da un decennio con una forza dirompente, conseguenza di una preparazione enciclopedica, tradotta abilmente in un'ampia gamma di situazioni sonore.
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Mauch Chunk
by Karl Ackermann
If ever a jazz group defied labeling, it is Mostly Other People Do the Killing (MOPDtK). With their self-titled debut (Hot Cup Records, 2004), the group had demonstrated a wildly engrossing pastiche encompassing influences as diverse as Ornette Coleman and traditional New Orleans swing. MOPDtK was founded by bassist Moppa Elliott and trumpeter Peter Evans who ...
Jacob Garchik: Ye Olde
by Mark F. Turner
In Ye Olde, trombonist Jacob Garchik uses progressive rock, jazz and plenty of imagination to create what might be a mashup of Game of Thrones and 21st century music. He's performed with Henry Threadgill and Lee Konitz and produced the outstanding 2012 solo project The Heavens: The Atheist Gospel Trombone Album (Yestereve Records). These proclivities continue ...
Henry Threadgill Zooid: In for a Penny, In for a Pound
by Luca Canini
Non poteva che chiudersi così il 2015, con un nuovo disco di Henry Threadgill. Un doppio addirittura, il primo a proprio nome in 40 e passa anni di prodigi e meraviglie: In for a Penny, in for a Pound. A conferma di uno stato di grazia conclamato -dalle gesta dell'ensemble Double-Up alle rimpatriate con Jack DeJohnette ...
Liberty Ellman: Radiate
by Dan Bilawsky
Guitarist Liberty Ellman works at the crossroads of intellectual inquisitiveness and rabid expressionism. That's been evident both in his own small but impressive discography and in his musical travels with Henry Threadgill's Zooid over the past fifteen years. On Radiate--Ellman's first album in nine years, third on the Pi Recordings imprint--those two roads ...
Liberty Ellman: Radiate
by Troy Collins
Radiate is guitarist Liberty Ellman's fourth album under his own name since 1997 and his third for Pi Recordings, following 2006's Ophiuchus Butterfly. Ellman's output as a bandleader over the years has been secondary to his role as an in-demand sideman however, working with such luminaries as Vijay Iyer, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Myra Melford, and Jason Robinson--hence ...

Ingrid Laubrock Anti-House: Roulette of the Cradle
by Stefano Merighi
Ingrid Laubrock è sicuramente un'ottima musicista. Lo ha ampiamente dimostrato sia come improvvisatrice negli innumerevoli gruppi di cui fa parte, sia come leader: con l'ottetto, con Sleepthief, fino a questo Anti-House, sicuramente il suo organico principale. Non facile però è dire quale sia la direzione prevalente della sua musica, la cui sovrabbondanza linguistica segnala un'ambizione lodevole ...
