Per Gärdin/Pedro Lopes/Rodrigo Pinheiro: History Of The Lisbon Chaplaincy
by Mark Corroto
It's interesting just how much place influences a recording. Was the session captured in a hermetically sealed studio or a noisy jazz club? Is the sound engineered or merely captured? And how does the architecture of the recording space effect the sound? Sound experimentalist Pauline Oliveros often recorded in an empty water cistern, timing notes against ...
Things We Like: Ottobre 2016
by AAJ Staff
Finito il mese di ottobre, riprendiamo la vecchia rubrica “Things We Like," dove, un po' per passione e un po' per gioco, descriviamo le cose (musicali e non) che ci rimarranno impresse del mese appena trascorso. Alberto Bazzurro Ottobre, mese pre-referendario per eccellenza (non quel referendum...), si porta generalmente appresso una caterva ...
Jeremy Danneman: Lost Signals
by Mark Corroto
Lost Signals is the third Jeremy Danneman Ropeadope Records release from a series of sessions recorded in the fall of 2013 with bass icon William Parker, percussionist Tim Keiper, and guitarist Anders Nilsson. You might think that after culling tracks for Lady Boom Boom (2015) and Help (2015) from these sessions, that a third release might ...
Roy Nathanson: Nearness And You, Duets and Improvisations
by Mark Corroto
On saxophonist Roy Nathanson's 2009 disc Subway Moon (Yellowbird), he covers the R&B song “Love Train" a huge hit for The O'Jays in 1973. Nathanson's version was a relaxed take on the age old wish for world peace. By decelerating the music he accelerated the intimacy. He utilizes the same device on Nearness Of You, an ...
Livelove Radio Bremen series continues: Working Week and Jazz Passengers
by Mark Sullivan
The Livelove series issuing archival live Radio Bremen recordings began with Larry Coryell & The Eleventh House from January 1975 (Promising Music, 2015) and the Horace Silver Quintet from June 1977 (Promising Music, 2015). That seems like a pretty wide range: from jazz fusion to hard bop. But the third and fourth releases in the series ...

by Nenad Georgievski
Skopje Jazz Festival 2015 MOB Skopje, Macedonia October 15-18, 2015 Always in the news and perennially in either political or economic turmoil, Macedonia is not the easiest place to live. Conflicts, poverty, crisis. Even now in 2015 it was not spared from problems as it was on a ...
Sweet Defeat: Sweet Defeat
by Mark Corroto
If film director Jim Jarmusch had been born in Ghent, Belgium, instead of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, he probably would have used the trio Sweet Defeat to score his early movies instead of John Lurie. This Belgian trio of multi-reed player Tom Wouters (Flat Earth Society), guitarist Bert Dockx, and cellist Lode Vercampt create a sort of ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Blue
by Maurizio Comandini
Una domanda sorge spontanea: ma con questo Blue cosa volevano dimostrare? Il gruppo di Moppa Elliott si è scelto da subito un nome molto intrigante, Mostly Other People Do the Killing, che di sicuro non li fa passare inosservati. Poi, dal 2003, il quartetto ha cominciato un percorso artistico molto interessante che per certi versi fa ...
Jon Armstrong: Limitless Enthusiasm
by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton
Of those jazz men who are still left (of course today is a new day and jazz is dying again), the Jon Armstrong Jazz Orchestra's debut album Farewell, is something new to say hello to. The end is the beginning you know. Jon Armstrong has a (so-far) limitless enthusiasm for being in the thick of music, ...
