Agustí Fernández: Aesthetic of Prisms
by Neri Pollastri
Cofanetto di ben sette CD, edito per celebrare i settant'anni del pianista catalano, Aestethic of Prisms permette di ascoltare Agustí Fernández all'opera in numerose situazioni e con compagni diversi, sebbene sempre rigorosamente alle prese con l'improvvisazione libera e non idiomatica, di cui è uno dei grandi interpreti contemporanei. Apre la raccolta Blue Rose, un ...
Fabian Dudek, Dan Weiss, Jasper Hoiby & Mazam
by Maurice Hogue
German alto player Fabian Dudek's new This Every Place is an indication that Dudek's forming his own improvisational language, and his album is graced with the presence of Ingrid Laubrock. A definite must listen. There's a similar path followed by the Portuguese quartet, Mazam, on their new Pilgrimage Vol. 2. Drummer Dan Weiss' latest features a ...
John Butcher / Florian Stoffner / Chris Corsano: The Glass Changes Shape
by John Sharpe
British saxophonist John Butcher cultivates a network of like-minded collaborators around the world, with whom he seeks to connect on an occasional to regular basis. Although only formed in May 2022, the trio with American drummer Chris Corsano and Swiss guitarist Florian Stoffner must be among the most potent combinations. Affirmation comes from the nine tracks ...
Bley School: Where?
by John Sharpe
Punningly recalling beloved British children's TV programme Play School, the name Bley School neatly encapsulates what is afoot on this album, representing an open-minded and irreverent fondness for tunes, especially those associated with the groundbreaking Canadian pianist Paul Bley. Responsible for this is the threesome of pianist Pat Thomas, bassist Dominic Lash and drummer Tony Orrell. ...

Duck Baker: Breakdown Lane: Free Solos & Duos 1976-1998
by Mark Corroto
This release is a great introduction to the music of Duck Baker and, maybe more importantly, a reminder of why the musician's sound is so vital. Baker, a finger-style acoustic guitarist, is a folk music omnivore. Besides Scottish and Irish fiddle music, he is at home with bebop, blues, free jazz and free improvisation. Let that ...
