Gary Husband: The Gemini Dimension

Read "Gary Husband: The Gemini Dimension" reviewed by Mike Jacobs


Even if forced to count just one of the two musical associations he's most noted for--a 35-year long relationship playing with the late Allan Holdsworth, and a 15-year long (and counting) stint in John McLaughlin's 4th Dimension--Gary Husband would still easily make many people's musician watchlist. But with both to his credit, (each on a different ...

John Cage: Hymnkus, Thoreau Drawings, Two

Read "Hymnkus,   Thoreau Drawings,   Two" reviewed by John Eyles


Another Timbre recordings featuring music by John Cage are into double figures and those featuring Apartment House now number thirty-something, so there was a certain inevitability about this album on which Apartment House perform three Cage pieces. It does not seem long since the label's box set of Apartment House playing some of Cage's number pieces ...

Judith Wegmann, Andreas Kunz: Morton Feldmand - For John Cage

Read "Morton Feldmand - For John Cage" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Morton Feldman che omaggia John Cage? Come se Fellini avesse girato un film su Visconti. Questo non ci risulta sia mai accaduto, l'altra cosa sì, ed è già un bell'evento, ed è appunto ciò che trovate in quest'ora e mezza di musica disposta su due dischetti e frutto di un'incisione del febbraio 2021 in terra svizzera ...

Dave Sewelson: Smooth FreeJazz

Read "Smooth FreeJazz" reviewed by Mark Corroto


If you're a lover of adventurous music, you've certainly had the following experience. You take a seat in a coffee house or even worse in your dentist's chair and out of the speakers flows (stifle your tears) smooth jazz. You might welcome the John Cage—ian sound of the espresso frothier or the Merzbow noise of the ...

1. Morton Feldman Patterns on a Chromatic Field (Tzadik, 2004) È il CD delle mie notti insonni. Lo suono nel mezzo della notte quando non riesco a dormire e vedo quello che succede. 2. Ramones Rocket to Russia (Sire Records, 1977) Grande musica da ascoltare a pranzo. Una ...

Arturo O'Farrill & The Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble: Dreaming In Lions

Read "Dreaming In Lions" reviewed by Chris May


Music for dance comes in a variety of forms. At one end of the spectrum are abstract soundscapes composed without reference to the choreography with which they share the stage; an example being John Cage's work with the choreographer Merce Cunningham. At the other end of the spectrum is music written in close collaboration with the ...

Apartment House: John Cage Number Pieces

Read "John Cage Number Pieces" reviewed by John Eyles


Even though it is only based on two of the label's previous releases—Wandelweiser und so weiter (2012) and Morton Feldman Piano (2019)— the reputation of Another Timbre box sets is enviably high. The music they contain, their sound quality, information, artwork and packaging all contribute to the fact that these albums are highly rated and sell ...
