John Tchicai + Ice9: No Trespassing

Read "No Trespassing" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Heavy jazz? Free rock? Hard impro? Avantgarde Metal? In tempi di sperimentalismi e di crossover operazioni come questa non scandalizzano più nessuno. Il jazz, musica aperta allo scambio per antonomasia, cerca da tempo nuove soluzioni per rinnovarsi. E quando a un trio di giovani “metallari" con Joe Satriani nel cuore, straripante energia, si aggiungono tre sassofonisti ...

New York Art Quartet: Old Stuff

Read "Old Stuff" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

Despite their involvement in the seminal 1964 October Revolution in Jazz concert series and a few high profile gigs in Europe the following year, the short-lived New York Art Quartet remains under-sung but legendary, with only two official studio recordings to its name--the self-titled 1964 ESP debut and Mohawk (Fontana, 1965).

Jason Adasiewicz’s Rolldown: Varmint

Read "Varmint" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

Varmint is the second release from vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown, following its self-titled 2008 debut on 482 Music. It's clear, from this program, that Rolldown is not content to stay in one place; no mean feat, considering the extent to which this music pays homage to Blue Note's documentation of artists like Andrew Hill and Sam ...

Open Orchestra featuring John Tchicai: The Spiritual Man

Read "The Spiritual Man" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Le note di copertina non lo chiariscono, ma probabilmente è tutto merito di Pierpaolo Faggiano, direttore artistico del Ceglie Jazz Open Festival, se un maestro come il danese John Tchicai, purtroppo ben poco presente nel nostro Paese, è stato chiamato ad impreziosire una larga formazione di notevoli improvvisatori provenienti dall'Italia del Nord e del Sud. Dobbiamo ...
