Trio 3 + Irene Schweizer: Berne Concert
by John Sharpe
Almost without anyone noticing, Trio 3 has become one of the great working bands in jazz. That's not the default outcome of longevity: though saxophonist Oliver Lake, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Andrew Cyrille first got together under the Trio 3 moniker back in 1992, they have become, if anything, a more cohesive unit over time. ...
Lotte Anker - Sylvie Courvoisier - Ikue Mori: Alien Huddle
by AAJ Italy Staff
E' sempre una sfida per la mente ed un piacere per il cuore imbattersi nelle manipolazioni elettroniche di Ikue Mori. Perché sotto le sapienti dita della musicista di origine giapponese, microchips, stringhe, byte, algoritmi e quant'altro si trasformano in materia viva, palpitante, con un'anima che esprime sentimenti e tocca le corde profonde delle emozioni. Si susseguono ...
Zentralquartett | Synopsis: Au der Elbe Schwimmt ein rosa krokodil
by AAJ Italy Staff
Come un coccodrillo rosa nelle acque dell'Elba, un quartetto free nella DDR dei primi anni Settanta doveva sembrare una bestia alquanto bizzarra. Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky, Günter “Baby" Sommer, Ulrich Gumpert, Conrad “Conny" Bauer: quando nacquero [chi dice nel '72, chi nel '73] si facevano chiamare Synopsis, ma in seguito sarebbero diventati (quasi) famosi con il nome di ...
Jurg Wickihalder Overseas Quartet: Furioso
by John Sharpe
Irrespective of the connections, the soprano saxophone clarion call opening Furioso immediately evokes the ghost of Steve Lacy. The debut disc from Swiss soprano saxophonist Jurg Wickihalder's Overseas quartet might be better titled Vivacissimo, such is the joy and vitality which springs out from every digital pit and pore. Though it was at Boston's ...
Trio 3 / Irene Schweizer: Berne Concert
by Nic Jones
Maybe a look at the participants is enough to make clear that the music they produce is going to be something. This program doesn't disappoint, even while many expectations may be confounded. As is often the case, when musicians are caught for posterity in a live setting, the music comes from a different place, and those ...
Aki Takase / Rudi Mahall: Evergreen
by Nic Jones
One of the things that become obvious whenever a musician is recorded frequently is how they address what has gone before. Pianist Aki Takase has her own distinctive voice as instrumentalist, composer and performer, but evidently--and happily--that triple threat isn't enough. She also has an uncommon knack for bringing something fresh to whatever music she cares ...
Louis Moholo-Moholo - Marilyn Crispell: Sibanye (We Are One)
by AAJ Italy Staff
A parte scontati riferimenti alle vicende elettorali d'oltreoceano, il titolo di questa incisione rimanda ad una unità d'intenti che si respira a piene mani lungo le sette tracce dell'album. Sibanye (We Are One) celebra l'incontro tra due spiriti liberi: quello esuberante, africano, militante, di Louis Moholo-Moholo e quello intellettualistico, rigoroso, matematico (ah, quella frequentazione con Braxton) ...
Lotte Anker / Sylvie Courvoisier / Ikue Mori: Alien Huddle
by Ted Gordon
On the face of it, Alien Huddle may seem like another notch on the belt for three well-seasoned veterans of experimental improvised music--each with her own language, capturing their collaboration and conversation in the studio, rather than in a club. Yet the experience of listening to this album proves that the meeting of these three musicians ...
Saadet Turkoz: Urumchi
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il percorso artistico della cantante Saadet Turkoz, nata in Turchia da genitori di origine kazaka, approda alla seconda tappa per la svizzera Intakt, a diversi anni di distanza da Marmara Sea. Se in quest'ultimo lavoro il versante improvvisativo, con collaboratori del calibro di Joelle Léandre, Elliott Sharp e Martin Schutz, inseriva elementi di innovazione sulla tradizione ...
Ingrid Laubrock: Sleepthief
by Clifford Allen
Sleepthief is an album in heavy company--as with any lineup featuring saxophones, piano and percussion, it will inevitably be compared with almost four decades of work by the Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio, as well as Cecil Taylor's 1962 trio with Jimmy Lyons and Sunny Murray and perhaps even the Lester Young-Nat King Cole-Buddy Rich trio of ...
