Il non-jazz di Giancarlo Schiaffini
by AAJ Italy Staff
A ottobre varcherà la soglia dei settant'anni ("Di soglie ne ho varcate parecchie - dice fra il serio e il faceto - e poi, essendo del '42, ho fatto persino un pezzo di guerra, sono una specie di reduce"). Intanto, Giancarlo Schiaffini, ha visto bene di dare alle stampe un libro il cui titolo, E non ...

La parola a Tim Berne
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il suo ultimo album, Snakeoil, sta convogliando su di lui nuove e pressoché plebiscitarie attenzioni, vuoi perché uscito per la ECM (il primo, a suo nome, per l'etichetta bavarese), vuoi perché si tratta di un'opera veramente notevole. Lui, Tim Berne, si è presentato a fine marzo a Bergamo Jazz alla testa del quartetto protagonista del lavoro, ...
Jasper Høiby: Phronesis and a Walk in the Dark
by Bruce Lindsay
"The visuals," says bassist Jasper Høiby about his band Phronesis, “are just the icing on the cake." The music is his primary concern, but it's undeniable that Høiby's Anglo-Scandinavian trio is one of the most visually striking outfits on the European scene. There's Høiby himself: tall, slim, blond and often rather intense looking, playing his double ...
Interview: Mike McCartney (Part 2)
In the late 1950s, Liverpool was thick with home-grown poets, writers and artists who revered American beat poets and painters. But because of Liverpool's geographic isolation from the main of England and Liverpudlians' fast, snappy brand of humor, the approach came with a wicked wit. Back in the early '60s, a serious intellect combined with an ...
Interview: Mike McCartney (Part 1)
Most people are unaware that Paul McCartney has a younger brother. That's because since the early 1960s, Mike McCartney [pictured above] has done a noble job of avoiding any temptation to cash in on his brother's fame. Which is pretty classy, as celebrity siblings go. As I write in today's Wall Street Journal (go here or ...
Another Timbre: sperimentatori sui margini del silenzio – intervista a Simon Reynell

È la Another Timbre, guidata da Simon Reynell: singolare figura di appassionato e professionista, Reynell si divide tra il lavoro di fonico per documentari televisivi e quello di produttore, intrapreso dopo avere ereditato una piccola somma ...
Getting Surreal, One On One With Bluey Maunick Of Incognito
A SURREAL INTRODUCTION By Bluey of Incognito Say the word “surreal" and various things come to mind - dreamlike, unreal, fantastic, odd, bizarre or even weird.

Nikki Iles: Meditation and Collaboration
by Bruce Lindsay
Pianist and composer Nikki Iles describes herself as one of the “not- so-young-anymore generation" of British jazz musicians--a fair comment, in chronological terms, from a musician born in the mid-'60s. But more importantly, she's a musician of experience, expertise and talent, viewed with great respect by players across the world. Iles' self-description does seem to be ...
