Paul F. Murphy: Playing Universally
by Dominic Fragman
Legendary drummer Paul F. Murphy has been involved with the high end of improvised music since the mid-1970s in San Francisco. He is most closely associated with the avant-garde of the '70s, '80s and '90s as a 12-year member of alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons' band and a leader of several of his own groups, including Trio ...
John Tchicai + Ice9: No Trespassing
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
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). For years the only other ...

Anche in questo caso la prima cosa ad apparire chiara è la grande professionalità, che Tchicai tiene stretta tra le mani come un ...
Jason Adasiewicz’s Rolldown: Varmint
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
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 ...
Joe McPhee at Cafe Oto, London

Joe McPhee Cafe Oto London, England December 11, 2009 When the eerie vocalized wail first manifested itself, the audience was left looking for the source.
