Katharina Weber: Woven Time

Read "Woven Time" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Anche se pubblicato da un'etichetta di grande tradizione come la Intakt, ed accompagnato dalle note di copertina di un musicista come Fred Frith, Woven Time non è affatto un album di jazz. Diciamo, questo, senza malizia e senza alcuna connotazione negativa. Solo per dare un riferimento estetico. Questo album si muove infatti in territori prossimi a ...

Trio 3 + Irene Schweizer: Berne Concert

Read "Berne Concert" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ci sta che un gruppo alla ribalta da quasi un ventennio, concerto dopo concerto, disco dopo disco, giunga ad un equilibrio statico delle proprie dinamiche, a un'inconscia cristallizzazione delle trame musicali, dei ruoli e infine alla prevedibilità dell'esito artistico. Meravigliosa prevedibilità trattandosi del Trio 3 di Oliver Lake, Reggie Workman e Andrew Cyrille, ma pur sempre ...

Trio 3 + Geri Allen: At This Time

Read "At This Time" reviewed by Nic Jones


The trio of Lake, Workman and Cyrille is, by now, seasoned in the right way. All three players are relative veterans and the depth of their shared musical understanding is obvious in everything they do. This time, Geri Allen's pianist's skill is an amalgam of Paul Bley and Andrew Hill harmonically speaking, though it's only fair ...

Xu Fengxia / Lucas Niggli: Black Lotos

Read "Black Lotos" reviewed by Nic Jones


This duo of multi-instrumentalist Xu Fengxia and percussionist Lucas Niggli sometimes produces quietly compelling music with drums and Chinese plucked instruments, but the opportunities for it to really take hold are significantly undermined by Fengxia's vocal interjections. Such is the effect of these that the impact of the duo's subtle interplay is too often lost. The ...

Trio 3 + Geri Allen: At This Time

Read "At This Time" reviewed by Chris May


The publicity surrounding the release of At This Time is making much of the addition of a pianist to Trio 3's saxophone, bass and drums line-up. Arguably, however, the inclusion of a keyboard, played by Geri Allen, isn't the album's most significant feature. True, during the course of the group's 23-year history, most of its work ...

Objets Trouves: This Side Up

Read "This Side Up" reviewed by Nic Jones


It's only right that this group didn't come together under the name of one of its members as this is cooperative music of an order that's still only too rare. This is Objets Trouves' second title for Intakt, indicating that the label seems intent on a long-term relationship with them. If so this is a good ...

Katharina Weber: Woven Time

Read "Woven Time" reviewed by Nic Jones


Until she'd reached the age of seventeen, pianist Weber hadn't played the piano without having sheet music in front of her, but it's clear from this program that she's put in the effort it takes to acquire the improviser's gifts. Such, however, are the recorded precedents for solo improvising pianists that the business of staking out ...

Ingrid Laubrock: Sleepthief

Read "Sleepthief" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Con il consueto acume che ne contraddistingue arte e favella, nelle note di copertina di Sleepthief Steve Beresford offre un'intrigante chiave di lettura per la musica proposta dalla neonata formazione della sassofonista tedesca, anche se londinese d'azione e spesso residente a New York, Ingrid Laubrock: immaginate una via di mezzo fra il trio Schlippenbach/Parker/Lovens e il ...

Aki Takase - Alexander Von Schlippenbach: Iron Wedding

Read "Iron Wedding" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La relazione umana e artistica tra Alexander Von Schlippenbach e Aki Takase è più lunga di quella che si potrebbe dedurre dal titolo: il termine The Iron Wedding è infatti usato dai coniugi quando celebrano il sesto anno di matrimonio. La loro primo duo risale all'inizio degli anni novanta (Piano Duets - Live In Berlin 93/94) ...

Fred Frith and Arte Quartett: Still Urban / The Big Picture

Read "Still Urban / The Big Picture" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Per cominciare con una battuta, spesso e volentieri si raccontano facezie e storielle varie sulla Svizzera di cioccolato e mucche, ironizzando simpaticamente a mo' di Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo sui grandi luoghi comuni attorno alle storie elvetiche. Mi domando se, oltre a ciò, anche i più attenti si accorgano di quanta intelligenza e lungimiranza stanno invece ...
