Makaya McCraven: In the Moment
by Luca Muchetti
Esplorazione e improvvisazione, ecco le due coordinate lungo cui si muove questo bel disco firmato dal batterista e produttore Makaya McCraven, un album che somiglia a un progetto che somiglia alla fotografia, in parte a fuoco e in parte no, di lunghe serate passate a improvvisare sul palco del Bedford di Chicago, un locale ispirato agli ...

Makaya McCraven: In The Moment
by Mark Corroto
Somewhere in heaven Miles smiles, Miles Davis that is. Beside him, listening to In The Moment by drummer, mixmaster, and organizer Makaya McCraven is Teo Macero. Both men would have given the nod to this project that culled 73 minutes of music from 48 hours of live performance, recorded over a year of performance with an ...
Rob Mazurek Exploding Star Orchestra: Galactic Parables: Volume 1
by Karl Ackermann
In the past twelve-month period, composer, electronic artist and cornet virtuoso Rob Mazurek has lead on a half-dozen or so different releases. For the most part, each has featured different line ups and formations from solo efforts to large ensembles and each has garnered enough superlatives to tax the thesaurus. And yet again, Mazurek has raised ...
Rob Mazurek Exploding Star Orchestra: Galactic Parables: Volume 1
by Enrico Bettinello
Quello di Galactic Parables: Volume 1 è uno dei progetti più ambiziosi del “cosmo" (il termine è quanto mai pertinente) di Rob Mazurek. Opera complessa e sfaccettata di argomento fantascientifico (i testi sono del poliedrico Damon Locks dei The Eternals), questo lavoro consente alla Exploding Star Orchestra di dare spazio a tutte le sue ...

Makaya McCraven: In the Moment
by Jakob Baekgaard
One venue, 28 shows and 48 hours of live, improvised music. These are the ingredients for Chicago-based drummer Makaya McCraven's album In the Moment. However, McCraven, as the producer he also is, has not just thrown some random sounds together. Instead, he has carefully culled, cut and remixed the music into a coherent whole and 19 ...
Wil Blades: Field Notes
by Chris M. Slawecki
It's good to know that no matter how many things change around us, there's still nothing that kicks out the jams like a good old school B-3 organ, guitar and drum trio. Wil Blades provides an excellent case study in groove. Throughout the past fifteen years, this B-3 bombardier has worked with blues and ...

Joey DeFrancesco: Home for the Holidays
by C. Michael Bailey
In a year when the best-selling holiday music will likely be represented by the whorehouse that is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra--specifically The Christmas Attic, chocked full of Keith Emerson's left over arrangements from 45 years ago merged with 1980s Steve Vai and called “art"--there is credible and well-crafted holiday music being made. Multi-instrumentalist and singer Joey DeFrancesco ...
