OM: Sudpol
by Glenn Astarita
Formed in Lucerne in 1972 by saxophonist Urs Leimgruber, guitarist Christy Doran, bassist Bobby Burri, and drummer Fredy Studer, the original quartet fused the raw voltage of rock with the open architecture of free improvisation, arriving at a sound they eventually dubbed “ElectroAcoustiCore." Studer's death in 2022, weeks ahead of the release of the anniversary album ...

Myra Melford: Splash
by Alberto Bazzurro
Affermatasi ormai oltre trent'anni fa come uno dei nomi nuovi, più creativi e identitari, della scena jazzistica internazionale, Myra Melford, pur assumendo una posizione a volte periferica (defilata?) rispetto all'agone specifico (ogni grande artista ha anche bisogno dei propri spazi di riflessione), ha confermato con regolarità quel primo input, come questo suo nuovo, bellissimo lavoro non ...
Myra Melford: Splash
by John Sharpe
Pianist Myra Melford returns to the classic piano trio format for the first time since The Guest House (Enja, 2011), her acclaimed outing with Trio M with Mark Dresser and Matt Wilson. This time, the lineup is no less formidable: bassist Michael Formanek and drummer/vibraphonist Ches Smith--both commanding improvisers and bandleaders--join her for a set that ...
Alexander Hawkins: Song Unconditional
by John Sharpe
Where on the first solo outing by British pianist Alexander Hawkins, Song Singular (Babel, 2014), his influences strode in plain sight, and the second, Iron Into Wind (Intakt, 2019), in its austerity, nodded toward Hawkins' classical schooling, Song Unconditional feels simultaneously more personal and more welcoming.

Alexander Hawkins: Song Unconditional
by Mark Corroto
Heraclitus once said, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." That may be true for most of us, but it does not quite apply to the music of pianist Alexander Hawkins. Despite navigating many musical rivers--trios, quartets, large ensembles, and collaborations with ...
Ludovico Granvassu's 2021 Sonic Delights
by Ludovico Granvassu
Jazz is not a competitive sport and “Best Ofs" are misnomers. End of the year listicles have no bearing on the artistic standing of the albums they include, or on those they neglect, just like a five star review doesn't make the album it graces any better than it already is. But, apparently, humans ...
Two contrasting Covid-19 recordings from Switzerland
by John Eyles
The chaos brought about by the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown hit the livelihoods of most musicians, causing real hardship, difficulties and anxiety for many. The Another Timbre label took action to assist them in several practical ways; it distributed over £3,000 from sales during the pandemic to many musicians whose work it released; in conjunction with other ...
