Steve Argüelles, Francesco Bigoni, Benoit Delbecq, Francesco Diodati: Weave4

Read "Weave4" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


È piuttosto singolare la musica di questo Weave4 (Parco della Musica Records): aperta fino ad apparir sfrangiata, eppure con un andamento narrativo; astratta e d'ispirazione contemporanea, ma al tempo stesso con un suo palese gusto melodico; con un cuore acustico, avvolto però in un alone elettronico; dubbiosa ed esitante nelle direzioni da prendere, ma ciononostante coerente ...

IzangoMa: Ngo Ma

Read "Ngo Ma" reviewed by Chris May


The first thing that needs to be said is: this is not a jazz album. Jazz is only one of many musical traditions, most of them South African, that coalesce to form IzangoMa's debut. The percussion-rich, horn-embellished, multi-layered blend weaves together kwaito, mbaqanga, township jazz, marabi, pantsula, mbube, Jamaican nyabhingi drumming, electronica and a whole lot ...

Wadada Leo Smith: The Emerald Duets

Read "The Emerald Duets" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


The pioneering British photographer/author Val Wilmer said of Wadada Leo Smith, “he no longer relates to the restrictions of scales and chords. To him, music is about two things only: sound and rhythm." Her assessment, from the essential book As Serious As Your Life (Allison & Busby Ltd, 1977), was published in 1977. But in the ...

The Blue Notes: Refugees From Race Hate

Read "The Blue Notes: Refugees From Race Hate" reviewed by Chris May


In late May 2022, three months into the war in Ukraine, the plight of refugees is at the front of our minds. Around five million Ukrainians have become refugees and another seven million are displaced persons inside their own country. The apartheid-era South African refugee crisis was not on this scale. The number of internally displaced ...

Welcome To Adventure

Read "Welcome To Adventure" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


There are indeed some adventuresome artists in this edition of One Man's Jazz, although I pilfered the title for the show from the title of the Welcome To Adventure Vol. 2 by Daniel Carter, Matthew Shipp, William Parker & Gérald Cleaver. So far, their first volume has been the best-selling album in the history of 577 ...
