Mats Gustafsson: MG50 Peace & Fire
by Mark Corroto
Mats Gustafsson at fifty. Name another artist who has had this significant and widespread effect on jazz, noise, free improvisation, alternative rock, electronica, and free jazz. Besides John Zorn, that pool is quite shallow. Gustafsson's music seems to attract innovative players into imaginative situations. If you are a fan, this 50th birthday celebration recorded in October, ...
Yelena Eckemoff Quartet: Leaving Everything Behind
by Dave Wayne
With all of the worldwide hue and cry concerning immigration, precious little is said about the lives of immigrants themselves, the sacrifices they've made and the risks they've taken in order to start their lives anew; free of whatever hardships and oppression they endured in their native country. In the news, entire lives are boiled down ...
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival 2016
by John Kelman
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival Ottawa, Canada June 22 -July 3, 2016 It's hard to believe, with seasons that move quickly from spring into summer, that it was time, once again, for the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival. Now in its 36th year, the festival has grown from a weekend event into a full-blown, ...
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 ...
