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 ...

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 ...
Jorrit Dijkstra + John Hollenbeck: Sequence
_Francesca_Patella.jpg)
by AAJ Italy Staff
Cosa spinge due musicisti come Jorrit Dijkstra, esponente significativo della scena improvvisativa olandese e John Hollenbeck, versatile batterista e arguto compositore, a licenziare un disco squinternato come Sequence? Un disco cioè, nel quale sono banditi i concetti di ritmo, melodia, armonia (ma questo potrebbe essere altamente stimolante) in favore di una esplorazione sonora che lascia perlomeno ...
