Irene Schweizer / Han Bennink: Welcome Back

Read "Welcome Back" reviewed by John Sharpe


For such an assuredly rhythmic player Swiss pianist Irene Schweizer shows an unexpected affinity to drummers, who feature disproportionately as partners in her discography. But even so Welcome Back constitutes only the second entry to pair Schweizer with maverick Dutch drummer Han Bennink, following their eponymous debut (Intakt, 1996), which was itself preceded by years of ...

Aruan Ortiz Trio: Hidden Voices

Read "Hidden Voices" reviewed by Luca Canini


Confesso che fino a qualche settimana fa poco o niente sapevo di Aruán Ortiz. Non che il nome del pianista cubano non fosse mai arrivato alle mie orecchie (a suonare con gente come Don Byron, Steve Turre, Esperanza Spalding e Wallace Roney difficilmente si passa inosservati), ma nulla di quanto ascoltato aveva attirato la mia attenzione. ...

Marilyn Crispell, Gerry Hemingway: Table of Changes

Read "Table of Changes" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Dal tour europeo dell'estate 2013 è tratta questa selezione di libere improvvisazioni eseguite Marilyn Crispell e Gerry Hemingway. I due hanno collaborato a lungo nel quartetto di Anthony Braxton tra gli anni ottanta e i novanta, iniziando a esibirsi in duo dal 1992.

Aki Takase, Ayumi Paul: Hotel Zauberberg

Read "Hotel Zauberberg" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Ascoltare la pianista nipponica Aki Takase è sempre una esperienza foriera di sorprese, grazie ad una creatività e disposizione al rischio davvero rare. Lo spirito avventuroso della sua composita cifra artistica ben si sposa con lo spirito esplorativo della label che ha prodotto questo sinestetico progetto, fra suggestioni sonore e letterarie. L'idea è ...

Sarah Buechi: Shadow Garden

Read "Shadow Garden" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Sarah Buechi, trentaquattrenne cantante e compositrice di Lucerna, che definire cantautrice sarebbe un po' ardito, per quanto i brani siano tutti suoi, testo e musica, batte bandiera jazzistica nell'organico e nell'impianto della sua proposta, attraversando tuttavia territori che con la classica immagine della jazz singer non sempre hanno granché a che fare. Tale ...

Ulrich Gumpert Quartett: A New One

Read "A New One" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Swiss pianist Ulrich Gumpert's clearly illustrated Thelonious Monk influences underscore many of the rhythmic implementations amid a diverse bag of tricks on this exceptional studio date. It's a comprehensive program where each track imparts a distinct story via an aggregate of alluring themes. The quartet initiates the festivities with an uplifting jazz waltz on ...

Aruan Ortiz Trio with Eric Revis and Gerald Cleaver: Hidden Voices

Read "Hidden Voices" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Cuban born pianist and composer Aruán Ortiz is just now starting to broaden his long-overdue recognition after two decades as a leader or collaborator. More than ten years prior to his new trio release, Hidden Voices, he had drawn favorable comparisons to Chick Corea and Ornette Coleman with Aruán Ortiz Trio Vol. 1 (Pimienta Records, 2004). ...

Tom Rainey Trio: Hotel Grief

Read "Hotel Grief" reviewed by John Sharpe


In spite of a bulging discography, Hotel Grief constitutes only the fourth entry under drummer Tom Rainey's leadership. It follows Pool School (Clean Feed, 2010) and Camino Cielo Echo (Intakt, 2012) by the same all star line up, comprising Mary Halvorson on guitar and Ingrid Laubrock on saxophones. After two studio dates, this time out they ...

Aruan Ortiz Trio: Hidden Voices

Read "Hidden Voices" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


The jazz piano trio comes in a wide spectrum of approaches, from the traditional--Red Garland, Tommy Flanagan--to the way out there avant-garde, like Cecil Taylor. When the subject of “Cuban pianists" comes up, some of the first names that come to mind are probably those who work in a traditional vein: Chucho Valdes, perhaps, or maybe ...
