Irene Schweizer, Han Bennink: Welcome Back

Read "Welcome Back" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Correte ad acquistare questo strepitoso CD, se non lo avete ancora fatto. In questo progetto si ritrovano i risultati più inaspettati raggiunti dal jazz contemporaneo. Vi aleggia una gioiosa comunicativa, che si contraddistingue rispetto all'attuale produzione europea di stampo avanguardistico. A ciò si aggiungano ritmi ipnotici e danzanti che fanno di questo disco una rara avis. ...

Irene Schweizer / Jurg Wickihalder: Spring

Read "Spring" reviewed by John Sharpe


On his only previous session in duet with piano -A Feeling For Someone (Intakt, 2008) -Swiss reedman Jurg Wickihalder's indebtedness to that master of the straight horn Steve Lacy was still evident.

Trio 3 + Vijay Iyer: Wiring

Read "Wiring" reviewed by John Sharpe

Irene Schweizer - Pierre Favre: Live in Zurich

Read "Live in Zurich" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Come dice Ekkehard Jost nel suo fondamentale volume Europas Jazz (Fischer Verlag, 1987), “Negli anni attorno al 1970, in un fase storica relativamente breve, il Jazz europeo trovò se stesso."
