Atomic: Lucidity
by Troy Collins
Living up to their name in performance and on record, the all-star Norwegian quintet Atomic challenges preconceived notions regarding the stereotypically introspective nature of Nordic jazz. Inspired by the unbridled spirit of 1960s American “Fire Music" and the post-war school of European free improvisation, Atomic eclipses the meditative lyricism of influential local legends like Jan Garbarek ...
Eberhard Weber: Encore
by John Kelman
In a time when too many things that seem unfair create victims rather than heroes, the world needs more people like Eberhard Weber. Struck down with a major stroke in 2007, the renowned German bassist found himself without the strength required in his left hand to be able to play the custom-built, electric five-string double bass ...
Eberhard Weber: Encore
by Karl Ackermann
The aesthetic sensibility that has become identified as the sound of ECM is--in large part--a manifestation of German bassist and composer Eberhard Weber's own vision. Spacious, obscured harmonies, fluid melodies and tastefully imbedded electronics, often within a minimalist framework have been consistent components of much of the music in the label's catalog. Weber's inventive approach to ...
Roberto Ottaviano: su Lacy e non solo
by Libero Farnè
Il 4 giugno 2004 Steve Lacy moriva a Boston. Non mi pare che la comunità del jazz abbia celebrato adeguatamente il decennale. Eppure il grande compositore, sopranista, leader e pensatore americano, uno dei personaggi unici nella storia del jazz, non solo non può essere dimenticato, ma dovrebbe essere continuamente riscoperto e rianalizzato, in quanto potrebbe fornire ...
Drummer, Composer, Bandleader Manu Katché Releases "Live In Concert", His Debut For ACT Music
“Anyone who heard the quartet play last year will want this chronicle of a rapturously received night’s work.” —John Fordham, The Guardian (review of Live in Concert) “Manu Katché is a drummer of watchful effervescence, attuned to the tiniest particulars of rhythm and timbre but intent on a feeling of unthinking ease” —Nate Chinen, The New ...
Lyle Mays: Lyle Mays
by John Kelman
Lyle MaysLyle MaysGeffen Records1986 Today's Rediscovery falls under the category of “where is he now?" I first heard of keyboardist Lyle Mays in 1977, when Gary Burton's quartet (with guest Eberhard Weber), played at the Glebe Collegiate High School auditorium in my home town of Ottawa, Canada. After the show, speaking ...
Piacentini-Bonati-McCandless-Moreno: Circles
by John Kelman
Piacentini-Bonati-McCandless-Moreno CirclesNueva1991 Today's Rediscovery will be a challenge for most; few will have heard of the record, and of those that have, even fewer will actually own it. Circles' biggest draw may be Paul McCandless--the reed and woodwind multi-instrumentalist who has, with Ralph Towner and Glen Moore, performed with the genre-busting ...
Gallery: Gallery
by John Kelman
GalleyGalleryECM Records1982 Today's discovery is in my top 10 list of albums screaming for first-time issue on CD by Munich's venerable ECM Records. Gallery was a one-off, teaming vibraphonist Dave Samuels and Oregon's Paul McCandless with cellist David Darling, bassist Ratzo Harris and Michael Di Pasqua--a drummer who, with a resume ...
Mihaly Borbely Quartet: Hungarian Jazz Rhapsody
by Glenn Astarita
Hungarian jazz doesn't receive same the level of attention as Western Europe and Scandinavia. Other than acclaimed jazz guitar legends, Gabor Szabo and Attila Zoller, there haven't been many household names within this idiom. Yet the BMC Records label has been a catalyst by producing gifted progressive jazz artists, such as the Dresch Quartet, and here, ...
Sean Mac Erlaine: A Slender Song
by Ian Patterson
Multi-woodwind instrumentalist and electronics musician/composer Sean Mac Erlaine works in musical areas where seemingly disparate worlds merge: tradition and modernity; acoustic and electronic; improvised and structured sounds. These are the threads that run throughout his work. Slender Songs is a continuation of concepts that Mac Erlaine explored on Long After The Music is Gone (Ergodos Records, ...
