Pauline Oliveros/Roscoe Mitchell/John Tilbury/Wadada Leo Smith: Nessuno

Read "Nessuno" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


In 1991 the label I Dischi Di Angelica was founded solely for the purpose of documenting the performances of its namesake music festival in Italy. The non-profit label has grown--but only marginally--releasing a compact catalog of global music, typically related to artists that have some association with the annual event. Fortunately for fans of creative music, ...

Jeff Parker: Slight Freedom

Read "Slight Freedom" reviewed by Dave Wayne


One is tempted to think of Jeff Parker as the first guitar anti-hero. He's a subtle player, first and foremost, not given to showy pyrotechnics and rapid-fire flights of plectral fancy. His chameleonic, almost self-effacing, presence on recordings by Tortoise, Joey DeFrancesco, Isotope 217, Fred Anderson, the Brian Blade Fellowship, Peter Erskine, Nicole Mitchell, Yo La ...

Calling Ra, Mr. Sun Ra your rocket ship is ready

Read "Calling Ra, Mr. Sun Ra your rocket ship is ready" reviewed by Mark Corroto


How prophetic is it that we now live in the second century of Sun Ra's earthly existence? Born (maybe) in Alabama 1914, Herman Poole Blount became the pianist, arranger, band leader, poet, and can we say prophet(?) we know as Sun Ra. He was both a man of his times and a messenger from the space. ...

Pauline Oliveros & Connie Crothers: Live At the Stone

Read "Live At the Stone" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Connie Crothers passed away in August of 2016; an accomplished composer, improviser and pianist, she was not nearly as well-known as she should have been for someone whose talent attracted musical partnerships with Max Roach and Lennie Tristano. Despite playing everywhere from the downtown scene, to Carnegie Hall, to Europe's music halls, her refusal to run ...

Karen Gottlieb: Music for Harp

Read "Music for Harp" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Attraversando mezzo secolo di letteratura per arpa, Karen Gottlieb confeziona un album sufficientemente vario per uno strumento tendenzialmente piuttosto monolitico come quello che si è scelta. Del 1949 sono la pagina più attempata delle due a firma di Lou Harrison (1917-2003), che apre la raccolta, e quella di John Cage. La prima, in 5 movimenti, costeggia ...

I 10 Cd nel CD-Player di... Emanuele Maniscalco

Read "I 10 Cd nel CD-Player di... Emanuele Maniscalco" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


01. Massimiliano Milesi, Giacomo Papetti -Dimidiam (UR Rrecords -2015). Basso e sax tenore. Mi piace questa formazione minima ma articolata, che per me trova il suo punto di riferimento attuale nel duo degli islandesi Óskar Guðjónsson e Skúli Sverisson. Max e Giacomo, che sono anche carissimi amici, mi conducono in parte verso quelle atmosfere, trascinandole ...

Tiziano Tononi, Alessandro Pacho Rossi: Is This… Music???

Read "Is This… Music???" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Dopo un'attività decisamente intensa, con Nexus e con progetti propri (spesso sotto lo stesso ombrello, peraltro) dagli anni Ottanta fino all'inizio del nuovo millennio, Tiziano Tononi ha alquanto allentato la sua presenza discografica, per cui ci fa doppiamente piacere salutare questo suo nuovo lavoro, singolarmente inciso in duo con un altro percussionista, Alessandro Pacho Rossi, e ...
