Ir: Where's Africa
by AAJ Staff
By Ken Waxman Take your pick: this is either a return to swing-bop roots for Swiss pianist Irène Schweizer or the weirdest duo session she's ever made. That's because Schweizer, who has had a commitment to the European avant-garde since the late '60s, here plays an entire program of jazz and pop standards, plus one original. ...
Objets Trouv: Fragile
by Derek Taylor
On the surface, the instrumentation of the Swiss quartet Objets Trouvés appears to follow the conventional schematic of a saxophonist backed by a piano-led rhythm section. The group's music, made up of ambitious sectional suites governed largely by collective improvisation, proves conclusively otherwise. Pianist Gabriela Friedli provides the composed material that serves as periodic thematic signposts, ...
Barry Guy New Orchestra: Oort-Entropy
by Glenn Astarita
Seminal free jazz bassist Barry Guy is responsible for manning some of the finest albums in this rather opaque genre. Aside from his longtime affiliations with saxophonist Evan Parker and drummer Paul Lytton--both of whom are featured here--the bassist is no stranger to leading exploratory ensembles. Guy's small orchestra equates to a multinational tentet. ...
Barry Guy New Orchestra: Oort-Entropy
by Derek Taylor
As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the band, the larger the role of logistics and finances in dictating its survival. In response to just such variables, the London Jazz Composer's Orchestra, one of the most venerable and prolific among large-scale European improvising outfits, underwent a necessary and indefinite hiatus back in 1998. Two years ...
Alexander von Schlippenbach: Monk's Casino
by Derek Taylor
Alexander von Schlippenbach Monk's Casino Intakt Records 2005 Monk covers are as regular as the tides these days. Everyone from Wynton Marsalis on one end, to Steve Lacy at the other, has seemingly picked the songbook clean. Most have mined it for the more accessible ore and left the more ...
Koch/Sch: Life Tied
by Germein Linares
At first glance, the sound experiments presented here come across as an uneven, lumpy mixture of electronics, drum and bass, and sporadic reed work. It takes several sessions and a certain willingness to allow the whole of the seemingly disjointed Life Tied to be convincing. Since the music is anything but traditional in concept and execution, ...
Barry Guy/Marilyn Crispell/Paul Lytton: Ithaca
by Ollie Bivens
Barry Guy is a British bassist and founder of the London Jazz Composers Orchestra. On his latest album on the Intakt label he, fellow British drummer Paul Lytton and American pianist Marilyn Crispell explore the outer reaches of a style of music - free jazz - that deserves a wider hearing among the American public. Ithaca ...
Barry Guy/Marilyn Crispell/Paul Lytton: Ithaca
by Glenn Astarita
Inspired by two architects and underscored by Irish artist George Vaughn's piece Ithaca, bassist Barry Guy and his bandmates enact various planes and emotive elements on this superb effort. With this outing--and a second trio date for Intakt Records--the trio morphs tumultuous crosscurrents with driving and oddly balanced rhythms. Guy, pianist Marilyn Crispell, and ...
Irene Schweizer and Omri Ziegele: Where's Africa
by Dan McClenaghan
This duo outing, featuring saxophonist Omri Ziegele and Swiss pianist Irene Schweizer, thrives on the contrasts of the two artists' styles. Schweizer's approach is joyous and ribald, a loose and free-flowing love affair with her instrument. Alto saxophonist Ziegele has a robust tone, a bit raw-edged, intense and imaginative. On Where's Africa the duo dives into ...
