Jeff Parker: Slight Freedom
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
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
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
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
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???
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 ...

Jon Irabagon: Inaction is An Action
by Jakob Baekgaard
The release of saxophonist and composer Jon Irabagon's album Inaction is An Action poses an interesting question. When should an artist release a record? It is not a matter of talent. Long ago, Irabagon has proven himself. He has won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition and gained success in every measureable ...
