Jorrit Dijkstra: Pillow Circles
by AAJ Italy Staff
Rotterdam, Lisbona, New York, Chicago. Come nella settimana enigmistica, unite i puntini e comparirà la scritta Pillow Circles. Il percorso immaginario lungo il quale si muove il disco inizia da Rotterdam, la città del North Sea Jazz Festival, che nel 2009 ha commissionato il qui presente lavoro al sassofonista Jorrit Dijkstra. Olandese lui, olandesi altri tre ...
Frank Rosaly: Milkwork
by Mark Corroto
The very in-demand Chicago drummer Frank Rosaly takes time out from his duties in over twenty bands--ranging from experimental sound, jazz, rock, and improvised music--to make a solo recording of drumming and electronics.

Jorrit Dijkstra: Pillow Circles
by Troy Collins
An international summit meeting, Pillow Circles joins four American jazz musicians with four Dutch improvisers. Similar in feel to his Flatlands Collective, this effort finds Dutch expatriate and multi-instrumentalist Jorrit Dijkstra paying homage to a handful of artists who have inspired him, with each piece dedicated to an individual. Bringing an empathetic familiarity to ...

James Falzone / Klang: Tea Music
by Mark Corroto
The much-admired 1950s work of clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre is the inspiration for James Falzone's quartet, known as Klang. But like most things emanating from the insular world of Chicago jazz, the signature is never forged. Falzone, a clarinetist, has explored many musical forms, from classical and chamber music to French folk and jazz. He ...
Flatlands Collective: Maatjes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Fissare su disco le complicità, le dinamiche, le fluidità, che emergono durante un tour, è pratica che spesso risulta utile alle band - specialmente a quelle che non hanno la possibilità di suonare e provare con continuità - che così possono documentare con la massima attenzione espressiva tutte le sfumature della propria musica. Accade anche al ...
James Falzone / Jason Adasiewicz / Jason Roebke: Klang
by Mark Corroto
Dudley Bayne's fledgling Luminescence label was formed to capture moments in time that may never repeat again. The pianist found the Chicago scene a whirlwind of activity, with soon-to-be famous musicians forming multiple groups, and he began recording their shows. His Luminescence Live releases are a series of limited edition discs documenting some very creative music ...
Flatlands Collective: Maatjes
by Wilbur MacKenzie
Maatjes, the second recording by the Flatlands Collective, captures the ensemble at the end of a European tour, with the group dynamic very well-tuned to alto saxophonist/composer Jorrit Dijkstra's compelling charts. Chicagoans Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello), Jeb Bishop (trombone), James Falzone (clarinet), Jason Roebke (bass) and Frank Rosaly (drums) all work together to celebrate the various micro-dialogues ...
The Flatlands Collective: Maatjes
by Troy Collins
Named for the geographic similarity between the American Mid-West and the Netherlands, the Flatlands Collective is a mid-sized ensemble of Chicago-based musicians operating under the leadership of Dutch saxophonist and electronics manipulator Jorrit Dijkstra. A seamless integration of nostalgic European melodies, futuristic minimalism, and spontaneous free jazz, Dijkstra's cantilevered compositions unveil layers of detailed nuance on ...
