Rudresh Mahanthappa's Indo-Pak Coalition: Apti

Read "Apti" reviewed 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

Read "Vipassana" reviewed 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, ...

Jon Irabagon: Jon Irabagon's Outright!

Read "Jon Irabagon's Outright!" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Appuntatevi sul taccuino il nome di questo giovanotto, e seguite con attenzione, molta attenzione, le sue mosse perché avrete la possibilità di imbattervi ogni volta in qualcosa di sorprendente. Come in questo Jon Irabagon's Outright! Basterebbe, da sola, la versione di un superclassico boppistico come “Groovin' High" a far drizzare le orecchie anche all'ascoltatore più distratto. ...

Hans Tammen Third Eye Orchestra: Hans Tammen Third Eye Orchestra

Read "Hans Tammen Third Eye Orchestra" reviewed 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.

Paul Austerlitz: Journey

Read "Journey" reviewed 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) 

Read "Live From New York And Beyond (CD + DVD) " reviewed 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 ...
