Slobber Pup: Pole Axe
by Mark Corroto
Imagine the avant improv metal trio Slobber Pup, which is made up of keyboardist Jamie Saft, guitarist Joe Morris, and drummer Balazs Pandi, crafting a homemade greeting card that says, “you complete us" to give to Mats Gustafsson. As heartwarming and moving as that gesture is, the inclusion of the Swedish saxophonist on the trio's sophomore ...
Mary Halvorson: Meltframe
by Stefano Merighi
Il primo disco di Mary Halvorson in solo sancisce la piena maturità acquisita dalla chitarrista bostoniana. Un'artista che folgora immediatamente oppure insospettisce, che appare come un'apprendista sempre in fase di studio oppure come una razionale dispensatrice di finezze da tempo metabolizzate. Fin dalle prime sortite in trio, o in gruppi più ...
I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Daniel Levin
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Joe Morris -Solos -Bimhuis (Relative Pitch -2015). Musica incredibile. Ci sono così tante informazioni in ogni frase di Joe. La prima volta che ho ascoltato questo disco, sono ritornato sui primi tredici secondi di “Trunk" almeno una trentina di volte prima di passare al brano successivo. Incredibilmente denso e fluido allo stesso tempo.
Joe McPhee / Jamie Saft / Joe Morris / Charles Downs: Ticonderoga
by Troy Collins
Ticonderoga was inspired by a conversation between Joe Morris and Jamie Saft regarding their mutual admiration for John Coltrane's Live at the Village Vanguard Again (Impulse!, 1966). Paying homage to the historic date, the pair invited free jazz veterans Joe McPhee and Charles Downs to convene for an informal recording session at Saft's studio in the ...
The Spanish Donkey: Raoul
by Luca Muchetti
Una tempesta di suoni, un incantesimo sonoro dai profili affilati e dal cuore elettrico. Ecco cosa è Raoul, ultimo nato in casa Spanish Donkey, la formazione composta da Joe Morris, Jamie Saft e Mike Pride. Tre musicisti che ergono un muro sonoro che, sebbene non originalissimo, sa affascinare l'ascoltatore sensibile a quel filone della musica che ...
Wadada Leo Smith, fenomenologia di un maestro
by Luca Canini
Non tutti i maestri sono uguali. C'è chi sceglie di farsi da parte, riducendo al minimo gli sconfinamenti, gli azzardi, i contatti con situazioni potenzialmente rischiose. E c'è chi invece si ostina a cercare, a condividere; tenendo fede a quella che del jazz è la suprema vocazione: la fisiologica tendenza a includere, in un continuo sovrapporsi ...
Wadada Leo Smith: Red Hill
by John Sharpe
A first time meeting in the studio pitches avant-garde trumpet master Wadada Leo Smith against a crew of improvisers who cover diverse bases. All three of Smith's collaborators work together in Slobber Pup, what you might term a thinking man's noise band, as well as overlapping in a range of other outfits including Metallic Taste of ...

Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter
by Mark Corroto
Chris Lightcap is a bassist's bassist. As a sideman to leaders such as Regina Carter, Matt Wilson, Joe Morris, Marc Ribot, and Craig Taborn, his rock-solid timekeeping can be quite inconspicuous. He is a sort of steadfast superglue that leaders and composers hold in high regard. As a leader and composer, there is another ...
