Wadada Leo Smith, fenomenologia di un maestro

Read "Wadada Leo Smith, fenomenologia di un maestro" reviewed by Luca Canini


Non tutti i maestri sono uguali. C'è chi sceglie di farsi da parte, riducendo al minimo gli sconfinamenti, gli azzardi, i contatti con situazioni potenzialmente rischiose. E c'è chi invece si ostina a cercare, a condividere; tenendo fede a quella che del jazz è la suprema vocazione: la fisiologica tendenza a includere, in un continuo sovrapporsi ...

Wadada Leo Smith: Red Hill

Read "Red Hill" reviewed by John Sharpe


A first time meeting in the studio pitches avant-garde trumpet master Wadada Leo Smith against a crew of improvisers who cover diverse bases. All three of Smith's collaborators work together in Slobber Pup, what you might term a thinking man's noise band, as well as overlapping in a range of other outfits including Metallic Taste of ...

A follow-up to XYX, their 2011 ...

Red Hill: Red Hill

Read "Red Hill" reviewed by John Ephland


Red Hill is the collection of six group-composed pieces, led by trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, this very fine aggregate also including keyboardist Jamie Saft, Joe Morris playing acoustic bass and drummer Balazs Pandi.

Plymouth: Plymouth

Read "Plymouth" reviewed by Claudio Bonomi


Decisamente affascinanti le trame policrome, acide e vintage dei Plymouth, inedito combo dedito all'improvvisazione radicale animato dal tastierista Jamie Saft e dal chitarrista Joe Morris e che in questa nuova avventura associa una solida sezione ritmica formata dal bassista Chris Lightcap e dal batterista Gerald Clever. Dulcis in fundo i Plymouth si avvalgono in questa occasione ...

Jamie Saft, Steve Swallow and Bobby Previte: The New Standard

Read "The New Standard" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Inimitable bassist Steve Swallow has pretty much seen and done it all. His vast achievements, historic alliances, and easily recognizable sound are firmly ingrained into the jazz idiom. Yet drummer Bobby Previte and keyboardist Jamie Saft are among the more notable modern trendsetters. They've both played significant roles in New York City's nonconforming downtown scene amid ...
