Manu Katche: Touchstone for Manu
by John Kelman
With only four records released as a leader on ECM, it may seem a little early to release a “best of" disc for drummer Manu Katché. But having since moved on to fellow German label ACT for Live in Concert, while Touchstone for Manu is only being released in North America in the summer of 2015, ...
Hu Vibrational: The Epic Botanical Beat Suite
by John Ephland
Uniquely atmospheric, this music evokes both the mysterious jungle as well as what it might be like to listen in space, outer space. Hu Vibrational Presents The Epic Botanical Beat Suite points to both the inner as well as outer journey. All of it exquisitely tethered by the Beat, or beats, beats that float in and ...
La via dei suoni di Luca Aquino
by Luigi Sforza
Poliedrico esploratore di esperienze musicali, adogmatico ascoltatore di musiche, trombettista molto ricercato per la sua tendenza a conciliare in forma sempre originale istanze sonore provenienti da ambiti musicali diversi e spesso lontani tra loro, Luca Aquino incarna l'immagine esemplare dell'esploratore sonoro contemporaneo, che pur rivolgendo lo sguardo ad un ampio panorama musicale -alla storia del jazz ...
Mathias Eick: Midwest
by John Kelman
Having first emerged on ECM Records, garnering significant attention for his work with fellow Norwegian, guitarist Jacob Young (2004's Evening Falls), and Finish pianist/harpist Iro Haarla (2006's Northbound), it seemed only a matter of time before trumpeter Mathias Eick would get the opportunity to start releasing albums of his own for the label. But if the ...

Guitarist and composer Eivind Aarset is one of the most imaginative exponents of the spirit of open diversity that defines and differentiates the Nordic Jazz soundscape. Coming along a progressive-rock line of influence enriched by a world music heritage and refined by electronics, his music emanates the radiant energy of an unfolding white lotus flower that ...
Bill Laswell: No Boundaries
by Nenad Georgievski
For some people music is a mere entertainment product, a pastime amusement. For others music is a powerful force and the act of its creation carries within itself a sense of discovery. Bill Laswell's music, production and remixes have always carried that sense of discovery and riskiness. Multifariously creative and independent, he has always been revered ...
Spin Marvel: Infolding
by John Ephland
A cross somewhere between Jon Hassell and Brian Eno, there's a funky brilliance here that keeps me coming back for more. There are jams packed into all six pieces, a bunch of running around in and outside of meters, serious soloing without being serious (or at least, showing off). The Hassell and Eno references, of course, ...
Veslefrekk: Veslefrekk
by John Kelman
VeslefrekkVeslefrekkNORCD1994 Before there was Supersilent--the renowned Norwegian noise improv group that was a seminal part of the flurry of creative Norwegian activity that, between 1997 and 1998, literally shook the world of improvised music and brought a number of artists, including Nils Petter Molvaer, Bugge Wesseltoft and Eivind Aarset, to far ...
Jon Hassell: Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Musics
by Nenad Georgievski
Some records can be easily identified and defined by the time and the place of their creation, but Jon Hassell's records appear to have a different and opposite effect. His record Possible Musics doesn't give the impression of coming from a certain place, but rather from many places. And this collage approach where he mixed and ...
