Rudresh Mahanthappa's Indo-Pak Coalition: Apti
by Dan McClenaghan
Alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa slipped onto the jazz scene right around the turn of the millennium via sideman work with pianist Vijay Iyer, on Architexture (Asian Improv Records, 1998) and the breakout Panoptic Modes (Red Giant Records, 2002). He continues to team with Iyer in an increasingly excellent evolution of sound on Reimagining (Savoy Jazz, 2005), ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa's Indo-Pak Coalition: Apti
by Troy Collins
The story has been told before. While still in college, Indian-American saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa was given a CD of Kadri Gopalnath's Saxophone Indian Style as a joke by his older brother. But Mahanthappa was impressed by Gopalnath's ability to translate the microtonal intricacies of South Indian Carnatic music to the saxophone, which eventually resulted in their ...
Joseph C. Phillips, Jr.'s Numinous: Vipassana
by David Adler
Composer-conductor Joseph C. Phillips, Jr. has a way of making his ensemble, Numinous, sound even larger than its 25 pieces. Of the three wind players, Ed Xiques plays five different instruments, Dan Willis handles six, Ben Kono a grand total of eight. As a result, Vipassana, Phillips' sophomore recording, abounds with nearly every sort of flute, ...

Hans Tammen Third Eye Orchestra: Hans Tammen Third Eye Orchestra
by Jakob Baekgaard
In jazz circles, New York is known for cultivating the sounds of the cutting edge; club Roulette has shown a particular seismographic ability to know what's happening at the fringes of jazz. If anything, the release of Hans Tammen Third Eye Orchestra underlines this with striking clarity. An innovative avant-garde guitar guru, Hans Tammen is mostly ...
Paul Austerlitz: Journey
by AAJ Italy Staff
In copertina Paul Austerlitz si mostra ad un consueto clarinetto basso, all'interno del booklet invece si dedica a tirare fuori dei suoni da un clarinetto contrabbasso, cosa che gli riesce abbastanza bene, quando qua e là durante il disco suona l'inconsueto strumento. Gli studi al Bennington College e l'incontro lì con Bill Dixon e Milford Graves ...
Sean Noonan's Being Brewed by Noon : Live From New York And Beyond (CD + DVD)
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sean Noonan non ama il termine fusion. Dice che gli fa pensare ad elementi diversi fusi insieme, il che non è necessariamente qualcosa di naturale. Preferisce il termine brewed, fermentato, termine che indica un impegno, un impiego di tempo per far sviluppare le cose. Fatte queste premesse, penso sia anche chiaro a tutti che la musica ...
