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

Read "Pietra" reviewed 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 ...

Read "8" reviewed by Mehdi El Mouden

Mike Davis: Fortunes and Hat-Tricks, Vol. 2

Read "Fortunes and Hat-Tricks, Vol. 2" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Double bassist Mike Davis organizes his spontaneous, immediate improvisations-compositions according to two arbitrary guidelines. The Fortunes group of such compositions draw its inspiration from evocative song titles taken from about 100 fortune cookies, but Davis and his trio co-conspirators--saxophonist Jacob Duncan and drummer Jason Tiemann--never discuss their different interpretations of these titles before playing. The second ...

Read "Everything is in the instructions" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Composer of contemporary chamber music and opera and certified master of the Japanese shakuhachi flute Jeffrey Lependorf cites an insightful incident he had with iconoclastic composer John Cage that reveals much about typical misconceptions about what is right and what is wrong in music and art. Lebendorf wanted Cage to clarify his vague instructions for a ...
