Michael Jaeger Kerouac: Dance Around in Your Bones

Read "Dance Around in Your Bones" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Zurich-based saxophonist Michael Jaeger and his band Kerouac have been a well-known entity in the European progressive jazz community amid alternating personnel since 2006. Jaeger is a musical voyager and covers a broad sound-design spectrum, steeped in prismatic colorations and the axiomatic peaks and valleys. Rather uncannily, the musicians impart numerous variables as they shape a ...

Günter Baby Sommer: Dedications

Read "Dedications" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se tutti i musicisti festeggiassero i propri settant'anni come sta facendo Günter Baby Sommer in questo 2013, ci sarebbe da fare festa permanente. Il batterista percussionista di Dresda che da sempre condivide lo stesso spirito libertario e iconoclasta di alcuni dei più radicali musicisti dell'area continentale è universalmente riconosciuto, sin dagli inizi della sua carriera, ma ...

Christof Irniger Trio: Gowanus Canal

Read "Gowanus Canal" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The trio recorded this studio date in nascent saxophonist Christoph Irniger's (Pilgrim and Cowboys from Hell, NoReduce) hometown of Zurich, Switzerland. However, the band was formed in New York as the respective artists are true jazz warriors, aligning their wares with various groups and sessions. Israeli drummer Ziv Ravitz and Los Angeles-based bassist Raffaele Bossard help ...

Objets Trouvés: Gabriela Friedli - Co Streiff - Jan Schlegel - Dieter Ulrich: Fresh Juice

Read "Fresh Juice" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Chi ben conosce gli sviluppi dell'avanguardia nord-europea degli anni '70, non si lascerà incantare da questo disco. Il gruppo che lo propone mira con risultati discontinui a rinverdirne gli esiti timbrici ed architettonici. Se non sostenuta da idee veramente originali, tale pratica rischia di essere altrettanto normalizzata rispetto al mainstream contemporaneo di derivazione hardbop. A dispetto ...

Trio 3 + Jason Moran: Refraction - Breakin' Glass

Read "Refraction - Breakin' Glass" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


In questi ultimi anni Oliver Lake sembra rinato. La sua apparizione al festival di Saalfelden nel 2009 con il Reunion Trio (Michael Gregory alla chitarra e uno strepitoso Pheeroan akLaff alla batteria) sollevò un inaspettato entusiasmo. La stessa impressione si trae dall'ascolto di questo CD, registrato in studio nel luglio 2012, in cui il settantenne altoista ...

Trio 3 + Jason Moran: Refraction - Breakin' Glass

Read "Refraction - Breakin' Glass" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The trio--launched in 1986--comprises three legendary maestros of progressive jazz and improvisation. Customarily, the band augments its line of attack with a guest pianist. Here, Jason Moran upholds the tradition and plays an integral role, augmenting the core unit's reach into pieces fabricated with kaleidoscopic formations and variegated hues, spanning a myriad of seamlessly integrated jazz-related ...

Trio 3 + Jason Moran: Refraction - Breakin' Glass

Read "Refraction - Breakin' Glass" reviewed by John Sharpe


If ever there was a threesome that hankered after being a quartet, it's Trio 3. Though working as a self-contained unit since 1986, pianists have often supplemented the core triumvirate, and in fact one has augmented each of the group's previous three recordings. Now Jason Moran fills the piano stool on Refraction--Breakin' Glass, adding to an ...

Sylvie Courvoisier - Mark Feldman: Live at Theatre Vidy-Lausanne

Read "Live at Theatre Vidy-Lausanne" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Oggi, su questo pianeta, ci sono pochissimi altri duo pianoforte-violino che abbiano l'incredibile intensità, vibrante energia, identica immaginazione creativa, toccante lirismo e capacità di quello formato da Sylvie Courvoisier e Mark Feldman. Di per sé, al di fuori delle classiche ambientazioni proposte dalla musica “seria" (come qualche signorotto da conservatorio continua a voler distinguere), il duo ...

Günter Baby Sommer - Savina Yannatou - Floros Floridis - Evgenios Voulgaris - Spilios Kastanis: Songs for Kommeno

Read "Songs for Kommeno" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Günter “Baby" Sommer rimase impietrito alla scoperta della strage avvenuta nel villaggio greco di Kommeno, durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Invitato nel 2008 a un festival di percussioni nel villaggio dell'Epiro, aveva letto durante la notte un libro che ricostruiva quei momenti atroci, in cui i militari della Wehrmacht avevano trucidato 317 persone senza pietà: donne, ...
