David S. Ware/Matthew Shipp: Live in Sant'Anna Arresi 2004
by Mark Corroto
In every mystical film we see, like A Sea Of Trees and A Dog's Purpose or book we read--A Sudden Light by Garth Stein or Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, the departed find a way to communicate with the living. As humans, we desire this experience. Fortunately, music affords us this opportunity at just about ...
Things We Like: Ottobre 2016
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. Alberto Bazzurro Ottobre, mese pre-referendario per eccellenza (non quel referendum...), si porta generalmente appresso una caterva ...
An Evil Clown and a Leap of Faith
by Karl Ackermann
"I don't have a half-speed for music, if I do it, I'm all in..."--PEK If the Evil Clown record label is prolific on a per capita basis, then its founder is exponentially more inexhaustible. David Peck (aka PEK) founded the label--at first, unbranded--and its roots date back a little more than twenty years ...
Protean Reality (feat. Chris Pitsiokos, Noah Punkt & Philipp Scholz): Protean Reality
by Karl Ackermann
An increasing presence on the downtown NYC circuit, alto saxophonist Chris Pitsiokos has worked with a number of free jazz luminaries such as Joe Morris, Nate Wooley, Peter Evans and Paul Lytton. He and Tyshawn Sorey joined the promising bassist Brandon Lopez as the Undermine Trio for a number of recent NYC performances. What stands the ...
Nate Wooley/Hugo Antunes/Jorge Queijo/Mário Costa/Chris Corsano: Purple Patio
by Mark Corroto
If I had to do it all over again, I would not have judged Purple Patio as soon as I dropped the needle onto the LP. Yes, this is a vinyl-only release, and yes, it is only an edition of 300 copies. Instead, I should have listened to both sides all the way through. But that ...
Joe Morris: Shock Axis
by Mark Corroto
I am applying for a NEA grant to test my theory that you can judge an album by it's cover. For instance, The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St (RSR, 1972) and The Clash's London Calling (CBS, 1979) are two albums where you just knew what to expect by gazing at the covers. In the jazz ...
Stephen Haynes: Pomegranate
by Neri Pollastri
Dedicato alla memoria di Bill Dixon, che gli fu maestro, questo disco di Stephen Haynes è un piccolo gioiello di nitidezza e coerenza, pur mettendo in scena una moderna musica free condotta da musicisti che certo non si sottraggono ad affrontare la complessità e magmaticità di questo genere. Il lavoro, di circa un'ora, si ...
Igor Osypov Quartet: Dream Delivery
by Dave Wayne
Igor Osypov's debut album, I (Unit Records, 2015), was quite promising in many ways. Yet, it was a snapshot of an artist still in the formative stages of the craft. Thus, the content of the Berlin-based plectrist's Dream Delivery came as a pleasant shock. Seemingly, within the past year, Osypov has taken prodigious strides towards staking ...
Take Five With Charles Chace
by AAJ Staff
About Charles Chace: I'm a contemporary artist and musician from Massachusetts. I've shown my art in galleries in New York City, Miami and North Carolina. My recent works consist of a multimedia installation that included paper collage, video, and manipulatable noise machines. My most recent visual work includes a series of portrait paintings that ...
Liquid Trio: Marianne
by Mark Corroto
The free jazz of the Liquid Trio might best be described as quicksilver, a sort of liquified metal. In the context of music making, their ability to move and change shape instantly makes them difficult to contain. Marianne, the follow up to Primer Dia i Última Nit (Sirulita, 2013), is the second album released by this ...
