Natsuki Tamura, Alexander Frangenheim: Nax
by Karl Ackermann
Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura has long straddled the divide between free improvisation and lyrical jazz. The latter has been adequately and beautifully represented in his work with Gato Libre. That quartet features his wife and occasional duo partner--the pianist and accordionist Satoko Fujii--and combines elements of folk, chamber and modern jazz. In contrast, much of his solo ...
Pauline Oliveros: Accordion & Voice
by Karl Ackermann
It's understandable if Pauline Oliveros is not a top-of-mind name, even after more than five decades in music. The eighty-two year old composer has been far-removed from the mainstream as a pioneer in the subculture of experimental electronic music and composition since the 1960s and her acoustic instrument of choice is the accordion. Yet her résumé ...
Alberto Tacchini e il Questionario di Proust
by AAJ Staff
All About Jazz: Il tratto principale della mia musica. Alberto Tacchini Sono una persona eclettica e alcuni vedono questo come un'immaturità, come il non avere ancora fatto una scelta. Invece ci sono tante cose, che ho scoperto ascoltando dischi in cui mi riconosco, tra le quali non voglio scegliere. Ho sempre invidiato quelli che ...

The Vocal Art of Norwegian Stine Janvin Motland
by Eyal Hareuveni
Norwegian vocal artist Stine Janvin Motland is known for highly original, extended vocal techniques. Her range and imagination mark new frontiers for the natural acoustics of the human voice. Motland previously recorded with drummer Ståle Liavik Solberg in MotSol, and with he and local sax hero Frode Gjerstad, plus American cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm in the quartet ...
Hauschka at The Kevin Barry Room
by Ian Patterson
Hauschka The Kevin Barry Room National Concert Hall Dublin, Ireland June 7, 2014 Had Volker Bertlemann pursued a career in classical music he probably wouldn't have needed a nom de plume, but in the rather niche market of prepared piano music--for which he is best known--a little strategic marketing ...
Håkon Stene: Lush Laments for Lazy Mammal
by Eyal Hareuveni
Lush Laments for Lazy Mammal is an exception in the catalogue of the Norwegian label, Hubro Music, but so is the art of percussionist Håkon Stene. Unlike other releases of the acclaimed label, the music does not draw inspiration from improvised music, modern jazz or fusion, prog and post-rock, but it offers distinct meditative compositions by ...
Christian Wallumrod Ensemble: Outstairs
by Vic Albani
Stabile abitante del sottobosco ECM da oltre tre lustri, Christian Wallumrød è davvero un musicista peculiare che usualmente sfugge all'analisi profonda di molte penne dell'universo della critica internazionale. Probabilmente (e, per fortuna, ci piacerebbe aggiungere) perché da almeno un ventennio riesce sistematicamente a sfuggire dall'orripilante mania dell'etichettatura. Per sfortuna sua, nei tempi moderni, questo è quasi ...

by Vincenzo Roggero

Paul Bley--Open to Love (ECM-1973). Non ha bisogno di commenti... 03. Steve Reich--Music for Eighteen Musicians (Nonesuch-1976). Traggo molte ispirazioni dai minimalisti ...
Sandro Sciarratta: Pietra
by Alberto Bazzurro
Raccogliendo sue composizioni redatte nell'arco di un quindicennio, il contrabbassista agrigentino, classe 1956, mette insieme un lavoro di rara onestà intellettuale e rigore. Anche a rischio di apparire, in mezzo a tanti musicisti nati vecchi, persino anacronistico. In Pietra si respira in effetti un'aria da scena radicale anni Settanta/Ottanta, di cui già un ...
