Wayne Horvitz: The Snowghost Sessions & Those Who Remain
by Doug Collette
Since coming to some renown in New York City during the Eighties and Nineties, Wayne Horvitz has developed a career almost as eclectic as it is esoteric. Performer, composer, educator and entrepreneur comprise just a few of the roles he has assumed in near-fifty years of audacious enterprise and these dual releases vividly illustrates the range ...

Tutto Monk: l'omaggio di Miles Okazaki
by Giuseppe Segala
Monk con la chitarra? Perché no. Si era posto la stessa sferica domanda Elliott Sharp pochi anni fa, registrando in solo con l'acustica l'album Sharp? Monk? Sharp! Monk! per l'etichetta Clean Feed. Si trattava di una scelta di cinque brani, elaborati con il criterio della lunga divagazione e riflessione geniale. Inoltre, il discorso era stato affrontato ...

Cory Smythe: Circulate Susanna
by Karl Ackermann
Cory Smythe tells stories. About stories. Specifically, a father's tales in the rural heartland of America; ingredients that a listener might assume had shaped Smythe's imagination in ways that go far beyond music. But like the Stephen Foster discs spinning on the gramophone as a tornado approaches, Smythe's nostalgic and inspirational world is liner-note fantasy. Nevertheless, ...

by Luca Canini
John Zorn & Bill Laswell Teatro Dal Verme JazzMi Milano 6.11.2018 Il cielo è grigio sopra Milano; la serata appiccicosa e umida. Nel foyer e alle biglietterie una discreta calca. C'è aria di evento, di concerto dell'anno al JazzMi. Capita sempre meno spesso che John Zorn faccia scalo in ...
