Steve Coleman and the Council of Balance: Synovial Joints
by Luca Canini
Dei suoni della foresta amazzonica e dei segreti della “camouflage orchestration," delle articolazioni sinoviali, dell'antico dio Heru e del metodo di composizione spontanea, lascerò che sia Steve Coleman a parlarvi. È tutto spiegato nelle note di copertina, con estrema chiarezza e dovizia di particolari; la migliore introduzione possibile alle meccaniche (più o meno celesti) che governano ...

Dafnis Prieto Sextet: Triangles and Circles
by Dave Wayne
The thing that sets Latin jazz apart from other forms of jazz is that it's fundamentally a music for dance. The artists who create this music are expected to move gracefully back and forth between the worlds of jazz and salsa, sometimes in a single tune. Though it's overtly intended to get our bodies moving, Latin ...

Wadada Leo Smith, fenomenologia di un maestro
by Luca Canini
Non tutti i maestri sono uguali. C'è chi sceglie di farsi da parte, riducendo al minimo gli sconfinamenti, gli azzardi, i contatti con situazioni potenzialmente rischiose.

Henry Threadgill Zooid: In for a Penny, In for a Pound
by Mark F. Turner
Don't call this jazz. In a 2013 interview with Larry Appelbaum at the Library of Congress, saxophonist, flautist, and composer Henry Threadgill, in so many words, denounced the association of labelling his music with a diluted categorization. Having performed with free thinking musicians like Muhal Richard Abrams and Anthony Braxton; lead highly regarded and out of ...
