Albert Ayler Quartet: Copenhagen Live 1964

Read "Copenhagen Live 1964" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

It's almost as if the phenomenon that was saxophonist Albert Ayler was just a dream. Nearly fifty years after his death, listeners (and musicians, for that matter) are still catching up to him, and realizing his gift. His life, like that of Charlie Parker, ended at age 34. But where Parker (an originator of bebop) developed ...

John Dikeman / Luis Vicente / Hugo Antunes / Gabriel Ferrandini: Salão Brazil

Read "Salão Brazil" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Amsterdam-domiciled American saxophonist John Dikeman and Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente have become regular collaborators, although the only prior evidence on disc is their first meeting in Twenty One 4tet's Live At Zaal 100 (Not Two, 2016). For the limited edition LP Salão Brazil they have enlisted two of the brassman's countrymen in Belgian-based bassist Hugo Antunes ...

Onno Govaert / Marcelo dos Reis / Luís Vicente / Kristján Martinsson: In Layers

Read "In Layers" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

You might assume the recording In Layers is another vehicle in Luís Vicente's meteoric rise to the top of improvisational music. If you guess this you are both wrong and somewhat right. While the Portuguese trumpeter has distinguished himself in the Twenty One 4Tet with John Dikeman and Wilbert De Joode, in Chamber 4, Fail Better!, ...

Twenty One 4tet: Live At Zaal 100

Read "Live At Zaal 100" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

The moniker Twenty One 4tet represents a summit of cosmopolitan international improvisers gathering in Amsterdam . On the face of it there's not a lot of connection between peripatetic American saxophonist John Dikeman's Ayler-inspired tirades and Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente's thoughtful chamber explorations, but the outcome suggests much more of a meeting of minds than might ...

Albert We Hardly Knew Ye

Read "Albert We Hardly Knew Ye" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

The Chinese mystic philosopher Lao Tzu wrote, “the flame that burns twice as bright, burns half as long." Although he never heard the music of Albert Ayler, we're sure that he would agree the saxophonist's fire music was luminescent. Ayler's career was indeed quite brief, recording only for a period of eight years until his untimely ...

The phrase “new music" is operative here because the label concentrates on improvisation in all of its musical guises. There are modern jazz ...

Read "Live at La Resistenza" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Quattro brani di dieci minuti l'uno registrati dal vivo a Ghent in Belgio, i primi due estratti dal primo set, il terzo e il quarto dal set conclusivo. Protagonisti due mostri sacri dell'improvvisazione come Hamid Drake e William Parker più il giovane John Dikeman, statunitense di nascita, giramondo per vocazione--alcuni anni passati al Cairo in Egitto ...
