Sam Newsome: Chaos Theory

Read "Chaos Theory" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Grande specialista del sax soprano, Sam Newsome è anche uno sperimentatore dello strumento, con all'attivo tre album in solitudine nei quali documenta gli esiti della sua ricerca—peraltro valorizzata anche in altri lavori, per esempio Magic Circle, in duo con Jean-Michel Pilc. Qui presenta il quarto, nel quale “prepara" in molti modi il sax: aggiungendovi campanelli e ...

Sam Newsome, Jean-Michel Pilc: Magic Circle

Read "Magic Circle" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Non molto noto in Italia, Sam Newsome va oggi annoverato tra i massimi specialisti del sax soprano, che suona sfruttandone molte delle nascoste peculiarità timbriche e spesso anche “preparandolo" con singolari artifici tecnici. Autore di ben tre lavori in solitudine, qui ne mette a frutto l'esperienza dialogando con il pianista francese Jean-Michel Pilc. La registrazione arriva ...

Noah Preminger-Frank Carlberg: Whispers And Cries

Read "Whispers And Cries" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


A duo doing standards doesn't theoretically smack of originality in 2018, yet a number of present tense saxophone-piano pairings have demonstrated otherwise.

Read "Chroma" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

Dal disco d'esordio del 2011 inciso per l'etichetta di Greg Osby (Contextual Inner Circle Music) la formula strumentale viene confermata ...
