Henry Butler, Steven Bernstein and the Hot 9: Viper's Drag
by Angelo Leonardi
Cosa unisce la dissacrante verve di Steven Bernstein -estroverso leader dei Sex Mob e animatore di vari progetti con la Tzadik di John Zorn-col virtuosistico pianismo di Henry Butler, fortemente intriso di blues? Questa rilettura sul primo jazz di New Orleans è una delle risposte. La passione per la tradizione ha accomunato i due ...
Bret Higgins' Atlas Revolt: Bret Higgins' Atlas Revolt
by Vic Albani
Non ce ne eravamo dimenticati. Chiediamo scusa per il ritardo poiché di questo disco si sarebbe dovuto parlare già diverso tempo fa ma... i pompieri, le cavallette e via di conserva.

Craig Taborn: Flaga: Book of Angels, Volume 27
by Dan McClenaghan
There was always a sense that pianist Craig Taborn was more successful as a “super sideman" than as a leader of his own recordings. His contributions to CD offerings by saxophonist Tim Berne, reedman Roscoe Mitchell, saxophonists David Binney and James Carter, and many more, have been critical in crafting dozens of excellent music sets. Then ...
Torben Snekkestad: Winds Of Mouth
by Mark Corroto
The Homo sapien caveman picked up a goat's horn and blew some notes through it to entertain the Neanderthals, who had somehow, not paid the cover charge for the spring solstice show. No worries he thought, they'll soon be extinct, and I've just invented music. What the Neanderthals were fascinated with, was, just how ...
