Guido Mazzon Sextet: Flights Of Fancy
by Nic Jones
Perhaps inevitably, this one's something of an epitaph for trombonist Paul Rutherford, whose death earlier this year robbed the improvised music fraternity of one of its most vigorous advocates. Recorded in 1993 , this is a session that documents him in customary peerless form in the company of an Italian group alive to the possibilities inherent ...
Kondo / Chadbourne / Centazzo: The Warriors
by Nic Jones
The title of this one's misleading, as this is music made by unconditional collaborationists as opposed to anyone of a more aggressive disposition. The results of their collaboration embodies that old saying about the meeting of minds, and the results are the outcome of a highly refined group sensibility that was evidently defined by the trio's ...
ROVA Saxophone Quartet and Andrea Centazzo: The Bay
by Jerry D'Souza
Ictus Records was co-founded by percussionist Andrea Centazzo with Carla Lugli in the late 1970s. The focus was on improvised music, contemporary styling and avant-garde jazz. Centazzo and Lugli ran the label until 1984 when the financial burden became too heavy to carry on. During that time, Ictus had a strong catalog with recordings of Centazzo, ...
Andrea Centazzo: The Heart of Wax
by John Barron
In 2001, Italian composer/percussionist Andrea Centazzo assembled a first-rate ensemble of strings, winds, keyboards and percussion to record his adventurous ballet suite, The Heart of Wax. The music, commissioned by the arts council of the municipality of Cento, was written for a forgotten libretto by Italian artist Alberto Martini (1876-1954). Newly edited and re-mastered for Centazzo's ...
Andrea Centazzo, Perry Robinson, Nobu Stowe: The Soul in the Mist
by John Barron
On The Soul in the Mist, legendary composer/percussionist Andrea Centazzo leads a dazzling set of introspective, communal improvisation with the help of renowned clarinetist Perry Robinson and pianist Nobu Stowe. The musical explorations on this live recording, taken from two east coast concerts in November of 2006, have a meditative, trance-like quality, spacious and hauntingly patient. ...
Andrea Centazzo: The Soul in the Mist
by Budd Kopman
The music from Soul in the Mist was taken from two live performances towards the end of 2006. Having heard most of this music performed at the Rubin Museum as part of its Harlem in the Himalayas program, I can say that the quality of the earlier performances and their recording was very high indeed. Andrea ...
The Noboru Jones Experience: The J.O.B.
by John Barron
The Noboru Jones Experience is an eclectic, international trio consisting of percussionist, and California native, Noboru Jones, Swedish guitarist Lutte Berg and Italian saxophonist Roberto Ottaviano. The haunting, exquisite blending of acoustic and electronic sounds on The J.O.B. creates a heavy wash of emotion, high in intensity, yet ethereal and meditative. The disc's six collaborative pieces ...
Andrea Centazzo / Henry Kaiser: Infinity Squared
by Fred Bouchard
Nigh three decades are flown since these two weird brothers met and they recreate some of their own internal thunder, lightning and hailstorms here. Italian percussionist straordinario Andrea Centazzo has deepened his fascination with tintinnabulatory trinkets, sonic booms and visual-media outings (lost here), while guitar bad boy and madcap collaborator Henry Kaiser has honed yet broadened ...
