Tommy Meier Root Down: The Master and the Rain

Read "The Master and the Rain" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se nello specchietto retrovisore si stagliano le sagome di Fela Kuti e Chris McGregor, se prima si tira in ballo l'Andrew Hill di Compulsion e poi si chiamano a raccolta i Masters Musicians of Jajouka, è chiaro che si sta parlando d'Africa. L'Africa vista dalla Svizzera, e raccontata dai Root Down, ovvero l'orchestra varata nel 2004 ...

Der Rote Bereich: 7

Read "7" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il trio Der Rote Bereich è una delle piccole formazioni più interessanti emerse sulla scena europea negli ultimi anni. Il chitarrista Frank Mobus è certamente il punto di riferimento nella strutturazione di questa frizzante proposta musicale. Suoi nove dei dieci brani di questo 7 (Rumba Brutal" è del clarinettista Rudi Mahall). La musica appare ben composta ...

Trio 3 + Geri Allen: Celebrating Mary Lou Williams (Live at Birdland New York)

Read "Celebrating Mary Lou Williams (Live at Birdland New York)" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


These modern jazz VIPs render a synchronized attack that incites a harmonious mélange of mainstream, progressive, and free-jazz during this homage to legendary pianist, composer and arranger Mary Lou Williams.

Ingrid Laubrock / Sleepthief: The Madness of Crowds

Read "The Madness of Crowds" reviewed by Nic Jones


As of The Madness of Crowds, saxophonist Laubrock, pianist Liam Noble and drummer Tom Rainey are one of the most rewarding bands out there. They were before, but now the clarity and depth of interaction in their music is enough to deepen that assertion, and when a signature sound also comes as part of the deal ...

Fred Frith: Clearing Customs

Read "Clearing Customs" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Questo progetto di Fred Frith, che vede coinvolti musicisti di diversa nazionalità e formazione, approda alla documentazione ufficiale su CD, a distanza di circa quattro anni dalle esibizioni dal vivo e registrazioni di studio effettuate in Germania sotto l'egida della Südwestrundfunk, in occasione della rassegna New Jazz Meeting.

Sylvie Courvoisier – Mark Feldman Quartet: Hotel Du Nord

Read "Hotel Du Nord" reviewed by Nic Jones

In the wake of To Fly To Steal (Intakt, 2010), the group did a series of European tours and this experience of playing together has resulted in heightened musical understanding. The quartet's musical currency--with the original lineup intact--is as informed by Twentieth Century chamber ...

Fred Frith: Clearing Customs

Read "Clearing Customs" reviewed by Nic Jones


Over the decades of his solo career, Fred Frith's music has grown more reflective of the range of his musical interests. As well as being an improviser of significance he has also shown an interest in a diversity of folk musics, with initial signs showing up already, in his work of the late 1970s.

Schlippenbach Trio: Bauhaus Dessau

Read "Bauhaus Dessau" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


«Una caratteristica importante della maggior parte dei gruppi nella libera improvvisazione è la brevità della loro esistenza. È forse ovvio che quasi tutte le collaborazioni casuali, il tipo più comune di raggruppamento nella libera improvvisazione, tendano a esaurire rapidamente le aree in cui i componenti provano un reciproco interesse, considerando quindi soddisfatte le loro comuni ambizioni. ...

Stephan Crump & Steve Lehman: Kaleidoscope & Collage

Read "Kaleidoscope & Collage" reviewed by Nic Jones


Bassist Stephan Crump and alto saxophonist Steve Lehman are both musicians with little time for musical boundaries. Their CVs confirm this, but what they perhaps don't throw up so readily is that they are both closer to the future of this music than many of their contemporaries. In recent years, Crump has been an active member ...
