Jon Madof: Blivet
by Luca Muchetti
Può ferire, può far sanguinare se maneggiato da mani incaute questo Blivet di Jon Madof, chitarrista abituato a frequentare la corte di John Zorn e Marc Ribot. Catchy fin dal primo brano: “Dime a Dozen," fantasmagoria funk che trasuda anni Settanta, è la luccicante apertura che, chiusa l'ubriacatura di chitarre in wha, si allontana senza farlo ...
Nate Wooley: Seven Storey Mountain V
by Karl Ackermann
Nate Wooley has a fairly traditional early background having played trumpet in his father's big band as a teenager. His departure from convention was quite radical as he went on to work with the likes of John Zorn, Anthony Braxton, Ken Vandermark and Evan Parker. Wooley is one of an innovative strain of trumpeters who view ...
John Zorn: Flaga Plays Masada Book Two
by Luca Canini
Da un pezzo ormai ho rinunciato a seguire da vicino i passi di John Zorn. Troppa fatica stare appresso con puntualità e dedizione alla logorrea discografica del signor Tzadik. Maestro dell'elusione e dell'evanescenza che ha trasformato il catalogo della propria etichetta in una dedalica sala degli specchi (In the Hall of Mirrors forse non a caso ...
Guillaume Grenard e il Questionario di Proust
by AAJ Staff
All About Jazz Italia: Il tratto principale della mia musica. Guillaume Grenard: Codificata. AAJI: La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me. G.G.: Che in un attimo sappiano dimenticarsi, scomparire dietro la musica. Questi tipi si trovano più facilmente nei collettivi di musicisti, piuttosto che tra i ...
Naftule's Dream: Blood
by Dan McClenaghan
Emerging from the ranks of the Boston area's Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, Naftule's Dream began with John Zorn's Tzadik Records when the label was young, offering up on the imprint Search for the Golden Dreydl (1997), Smash, Clap! (1998) and Job (2001). One thing about a large scale klezemer band--it offers up plenty of opportunity for madcap ...
Stu Brown: Twisted Toons Vol. 2 (The Music of Carl Stalling, Scott Bradley and more...)
by Roger Farbey
Cue the opening titles and the all-too familiar theme of “The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down"; a blast of which at just 23 seconds is enough to place the listener in the mood for the ensuing fifty five minutes of mayhem-inspired melodies. This is Stu Brown's second paean to the great cartoon score composers. His first ...
Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville 2016, Part 2
by Mike Chamberlain
Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville Various Venues Victoriaville, Quebec May 21-22, 2016 Part 1 | Part 2 Following a memorable--in a good way--first two days of FIMAV, Saturday's program promised more highlights, anchored by three consecutive sets of musicians performing John Zorn's Bagatelles at ...
Tyshawn Sorey: The Inner Spectrum of Variables
by Karl Ackermann
Tyshawn Sorey has realized a career's worth of accomplishments, accolades and appointments despite a professional resume that--with the exception of Vijay Iyer's Blood Sutra (Artist House, 2003)--is not quite ten years in the making. On the verge of his doctoral degree in composition at Columbia University, he has composed almost two-hundred works, and received the 2015 ...
On Kaa Davis: X-Ray Search Light Project: Djuke Music
by Dave Wayne
Though he's logged considerable time in Sun Ra's Arkestra, Kenny Wolleson's Himalayas Collective, and groups led by Donald Ayler, Charles 'Bobo' Shaw, and Luther Thomas, On Kaa Davis is not just another avant-garde jazz dude. As a teenager, the Cleveland, Ohio native journeyed to Vienna, Austria, where he studied classical guitar at the Hochschule for Music ...
Die Hochstapler: Plays The Music Of Alvin P. Buckley
by Mark Corroto
Back in high school, my physics instructor explained to us how there is a mathematical equation for everything in the universe. We started with the parabola equation of a baseball's flight after being struck by a bat. We were amazed to learn that one (not I) could also calculate the various waves on a lake. A ...
