Moppa Elliott: Still, Up In The Air

Read "Still, Up In The Air" reviewed by Luca Canini

by Luca Canini

Non è facile volere bene a quel brontolone del contrabbasso quando decide di mettersi in proprio. Il legno, le corde, l'archetto, il suono goffo e introverso, le note slabbrate, imprecise, la fatica immane di cavare sangue dal più rapa degli strumenti: poche altre situazioni in ambito improvvisativo sanno essere più scorbutiche e meno amichevoli. Eppure la ...

Read "Soulfood Available" reviewed by Stefano Merighi

by Stefano Merighi

Se è vero che l'improvvisazione radicale non è immune dai clichè che vorrebbe oltrepassare, difficile trovare in fallo Peter Brötzmann in questo contesto. La sua inesausta avventura sonora si rafforza sera dopo sera in concerti spesi senza risparmio, con un'incoscienza psicofisica che garantisce sincerità artistica e spesso vette espressive sublimi. Qui siamo a ...
