Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Free Hoops
by Troy Dostert
With her idiosyncratic mixture of mystery and mirth, and a seamless conjoining of jazz and classical musical vocabularies, pianist Sylvie Courvoisier has carved an enviable niche for herself. She not only possesses impeccable technique, but her voice as a composer is just as formidable, whether in partnerships with fellow mavericks like Mary Halvorson, Evan Parker, or ...
Evan Parker / Paul Lytton: Collective Calls (Revisited) (Jubilee)
by John Sharpe
Fifty years on from their first encounter, the British pairing of saxophonist Evan Parker and drummer Paul Lytton convened in a Chicago studio to record Collective Calls (Revisited) (Jubilee), named in echo of their first release. Of course they've reunited countless times in the interim, notably as two thirds of the classic trio completed by bassist ...
Charlotte Greve / Vinnie Sperrazza / Chris Tordini: The Choir Invisible
by Dan McClenaghan
The music on The Choir Invisible, presented by the musical equilateral triangle of saxophonist Charlotte Greve, drummer Vinnie Sperrazza and bassist Chris Tordini, presents the ear with a simple yet often intense beauty. Three strong sonic personalities exploring uncluttered territory. The trio, all of whom are busy members of the New York City jazz scene, formed ...
Ingrid Laubrock + Kris Davis: Blood Moon
by John Sharpe
Saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and Canadian pianist Kris Davis recognized each other as kindred spirits early on after the German's move to New York City. They have remained close collaborators ever since. So much so that it's almost a surprise that this is their first record as a twosome. They've honed their shared sensibilities in Laubrock's Anti-House, ...
Ohad Talmor Newsreel: Long Forms
by Angelo Leonardi
Maturato accanto a Lee Konitz con cui ha inciso vari dischi in tre distinti progetti (il nonet del grande sax contralto, il Konitz-Talmor String Project e la big band a loro nome), Ohad Talmor è tra gli esponenti più creativi della sua generazione. La sua statura di compositore, supportata dalla formazione classica e dall'interesse per molte ...
Chris Speed Trio: Respect for your Toughness
by Vic Albani
Nuovo album, ancora una volta targato Intakt, per il sassofonista Chris Speed in trio con Chris Tordini, contrabbasso, e Dave King, batteria. Un trio, ormai ben rodato, in grado di tradurre con alta coerenza stilistica e formale architetture di classica derivazione bop ma lavorando come Speed ci ha ormai abituato da tempo. La sua verifica strutturale ...
Omri Ziegele Tomorrow Trio: All Those Yesterdays
by Mark Corroto
It's been more than twenty years since the world lost saxophonist Thomas Chapin. If you were to conduct a search like Tibetan Buddhists looking for the next incarnation of the Dalai Lama, the signs and symbols you would sift through are of course recordings. All Those Yesterdays may be all the proof one needs to adjudge ...
Aruán Ortiz with Andrew Cyrille & Mauricio Herrera: Inside Rhythmic Falls
by John Sharpe
Cuban pianist Aruan Ortiz' fifth release for the Swiss Intakt label sits midway between his solo Cub(an)ism (2017) and dates by his Trio such as Live In Zurich (2018). In spite of the title, while there is a greater rhythmic impulse than on the unaccompanied session, the interaction largely pulls back from the intoxicating momentum of ...
Saadet Türköz, Elliott Sharp: Kumuska
by Angelo Leonardi
La relazione musicale tra la cantante turco-kazaka e il chitarrista statunitense, iniziata un ventennio fa nel quintetto che registrò Marmara Sea (Intakt 1999) ritorna con una collaborazione a due, non meno singolare e affascinante della precedente. L'universo vocale di Saadet, carico di suoni ancestrali e profonde connessioni col folklore dell'Asia centrale, trova in Sharp il partner ...
Jim Black Trio: Reckon
by John Sharpe
The piano trio field is a big one, even that corner reserved for the evenly poised triumvirate heirs to Bill Evans. But drummer Jim Black's unit carves out its own distinctive acre. On the fourth album since its inception in 2011 the threesome, completed by NYC-based, Austrian-born pianist Elias Stemeseder and bassist Thomas Morgan, has reached ...
