Il meglio del 2016 secondo Luca Canini

Read "Il meglio del 2016 secondo Luca Canini" reviewed by Luca Canini


Un anno di ascolti. Di musica, di amori, scoperte e delusioni. Nel segno di Henry Threadgill e del suo Old Locks and Irregular Verbs, il punto più alto toccato in dodici mesi che hanno riservato più di una bella sorpresa. Sia in ambito strettamente “jazz," da Nels Cline a Wadada Leo Smith, da Cristiano Calcagnile a ...

Things We Like: Ottobre 2016

Read "Things We Like: Ottobre 2016" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Finito il mese di ottobre, riprendiamo la vecchia rubrica “Things We Like," dove, un po' per passione e un po' per gioco, descriviamo le cose (musicali e non) che ci rimarranno impresse del mese appena trascorso.

Mats Gustafsson: Piano Mating

Read "Piano Mating" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Sure, saxophonist Mats Gustafsson is a rock star. A star in the same sense that Thurston Moore is a jazz artist or Merzbow generates ambient sounds. It's not so much that we would expect to see those three gentlemen receiving a Grammy Award, but that imitators of their styles will. Someday. In other words, innovators pioneer ...

Raymond MacDonald: Man with Two Brains

Peter Brotzmann/Keiji Haino/Jim O'Rourke: Two City Blues 2

Read "Two City Blues 2" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The music of legendary jazz saxophonist Peter Brötzmann is at its finest when the great man has something to push against. Typically these performances find him collaborating with drummers like Hamid Drake, Paal Nilssen-Love, Steve Noble, or Nasheet Waits. The music is built upon a power-versus-power formula. The drummer bloodies his nose, and he's off--throwing roundhouse ...

Luca Vitali - Il suono del Nord

Read "Luca Vitali - Il suono del Nord" reviewed by Luca Canini


Il Libro Aurore boreali, fiordi, salmoni, un re che si chiama Harald, fenomenali sciatori, un paio di attaccanti spilungoni che hanno lasciato il segno anche in Italia e una scena jazz da crepare d'invidia.
