Bill Dixon: An In-depth Look into the Accomplishments, Philosophies, and Convictions of the Man
by Frank Rubolino
When one reflects on the innovators who were fundamental in propelling the second wave of the new music movement in the 1960s, Bill Dixon's name always appears near the top of the list. His accomplishments as a musician and educator are vast, a small sampling of which includes his work as architect of the Jazz Composers' ...
Zebrina: Hamidbar Medaher
by Glenn Astarita
Eminent American clarinetist Ben Goldberg is an integral component of this Canadian ensemble's buoyant and cleverly articulated blend of traditional Jewish music, rock and modern jazz for John Zorn's enterprising New York-based Tzadik record label. In effect, the band traverses through luxuriant musical terrain, comprised of popping grooves, hummable melodic hooks and crisp, keys-based jazz fusion ...
Microscopic Septet: Manhattan Moonrise
by Vic Albani
Solo pochi anni orsono, quando mi trovai a scrivere di History of the Micros, i due straordinari capitoli summa summarum di questa band originariamente attiva dal 1980 al 1992 e tornata alle incisioni dopo più di un decennio di pausa creativa e produttiva agli inizi del nuovo millennio, mi trovai a raccontare delle classiche situazioni underground ...
Bimhuis at 40: Older, Better, Business as Usual
by Joan Gannij
The Bimhuis is turning 40 and is still very much in its prime. Beginning October 1, Amsterdam's venerable jazz club will celebrate this milestone with a variety of concerts, activities and special events. The Bimhuis opened in 1974 after a lengthy search for a suitable venue for improvising musicians. Over the next decades it would become ...
Tyshawn Sorey: Alloy
by Karl Ackermann
From an early age composer/drummer/educator Tyshawn Sorey has found creative outlets in not just music but in painting and literature as well. Never one to compartmentalize his own imagination, he has enthusiastically explored blues, gospel, classical and music for dance so it seems quite natural that his current music defies categories. Whether listening or writing, he ...
Paul Shapiro: Shofarot Verses
by Eyal Hareuveni
Saxophonist Paul Shapiro is one of the few who succeeded in blending organic soul and R&B with the Jewish tradition--the musical one and the liturgical texts--in a highly original, convincing manner. His fourth album for John Zorn's Tzadik label Radical Jewish Culture series enriches his unique and personal art. Shofarot Verses is ...
Save the Date - Settembre 2014
by Luca Canini
Settembre è il mese del ripensamento. In questo caso doveroso perché si chiude un agosto strano e complicato per il jazz italiano. Un agosto che ha perso per strada il festival di Sant'Anna Arresi, posticipato in blocco a data da destinarsi, e gran parte di quello di Rocella, prima rinviato a dicembre (notizia diffusa attraverso un ...
Joel Harrison: Mother Stump
by Dave Wayne
Given his proclivity for wildly eclectic, big-concept musical projects featuring improbable combinations of multi-ethnic instrumentalists, Joel Harrison is about the last guitarist I'd expect to record a funky slab of power-trio jazz-rock-funk fusion. Across the board, his guitaristic skills have taken a back seat to compositional concerns and rich, detailed arrangements. Yet, here is Mother Stump, ...
Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Double Windsor
by Henning Bolte
The piano trio is the supreme discipline in jazz. Through rich possibilities, it functions as a strong filter sifting out those few who were and are able to set new standards. What matters is how the three instrumental vertices relate to each other dynamically, harmonically and soundwise to build something coherent, in close dependency. Eventually, each ...
