Verneri Pohjola: Pekka
by Karl Ackermann
Finnish multi-instrumentalist Pekka Pohjola was a classically trained pianist and violinist but known best as a bassist in his native country. The proponent of a unique fusion of jazz, progressive rock and classical music, his work had elements of Frank Zappa, King Crimson and Antonín Dvořák, sometimes all within a single composition. Pohjola died while only ...
The Politics of Dancing: Jazz and Protest, Part 2
by Karl Ackermann
Part 1 of Jazz and Protest took an in-depth look at two landmark artists and the songs that laid the groundwork for protest within the jazz community. Billie Holiday's “Strange Fruit" took a circuitous route from its origins as a poem to its successful recording on a small label that was not afraid to lend a ...

John Lindberg BC3: Born in an Urban Ruin
by Alberto Bazzurro
Trio di squisita fisionomia cameristica, qui registrato nel maggio 2016, il BC3 di John Lindberg riporta sotto i riflettori il bassista del Michigan con un lavoro degno dei suoi migliori trascorsi. Già la conformazione clarinetto-vibrafono-contrabbasso denota quanto ci si avvicini a un'idea--appunto-- cameristica del fare jazz, non senza rimandare qua e là a colui che fu ...
John Lindberg BC3: Born In An Urban Ruin
by John Sharpe
Acclaimed bassist John Lindberg's trio on Born In An Urban Ruin possesses a distinctive and deeply personal sound in keeping with the man himself. That's down to both the novel instrumentation with long time associate Kevin Norton mostly on vibes and Michigan native Wendell Harrison on clarinets, and the character of Lindberg's writing. The essential humanity ...

John Lindberg Raptor Trio: Western Edges
by Alberto Bazzurro
Bassista dai gloriosi trascorsi (da Braxton allo String Trio, in primis), John Lindberg ha poi intrapreso una carriera di preferenza alla testa di propri gruppi (non meno di venticinque gli album a suo nome), rendendosi protagonista di lavori quasi sempre tutt'altro che trascurabili. Questo suo ultimo CD, appena uscito ma risalente come incisione all'aprile 2012, occupa ...
Wadada Leo Smith: America's National Parks
by John Sharpe
While the title might conjure up a string of luminous tone poems, the reality of trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith's magisterial collection goes far beyond that. In fact Smith's notion of a national park encompasses not only the iconic landscapes, but also literary and cultural features. In any case as he explains, he draws his inspiration from ...
