Fred Lonberg-Holm's Fast Citizens: Gather
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il cinquantenne violoncellista (ma nello specifico anche chitarrista e cornettista) chicagoano Fred Lonberg-Holm è qui alla testa di un sestetto pieno di sostanza, nel cui operato una palpabile spina dorsale compositiva non prevarica mai lo slancio del singolo. I percorsi sono in effetti piuttosto articolati, strutturalmente ricchi, cangianti, con una vivacità soprattutto timbrica che sgorga spontanea ...
Fred Lonberg-Holm's Fast Citizens: Gather
by Jerry D'Souza
When a band gathers some very imaginative musicians into its fold, it can only lead to one thing: an amazing listening experience. Fast Citizens has proved that over the years from the time saxophonist Keefe Jackson formed the band in 2003 and released Ready Everyday (Delmark Records, 2006), through to to Two Cities (Delmark Records, 2009), ...
Josh Berman & His Gang: There Now
by AAJ Italy Staff
Cinque dei brani presenti in There Now portano direttamente ai Roaring Twenties, i ruggenti Anni Venti nei quali impazzavano le prime formazioni jazz e si affermavano personaggi come Eddie Condon, figura leggendaria che animava con i suoi gruppi le roventi notti di Chicago. Proprio da Chicago arriva la Gang di Josh Berman, cornettista, già membro della ...
Aram Shelton: Everything For Somebody
by Mark Corroto
Alto saxophonist Aram Shelton cannot break his Chicago habit. We're not talking that monkey woman Joe Williams used to sing about, back in the day. Shelton, who left Chicago a few years back for the Bay area of California, returns to the windy city often, both physically and for its sound.His second quartet recording, ...
Josh Berman & His Gang: There Now
by Mark Corroto
Josh Berman is a gambler. There Now initially gives the impression that the cornetist's reversion to the music of Eddie Condon and Pee Wee Russell is only a bluff. His gang of young Chicago improvisers weaves in and out of the 1920s, inserting free jazz passages and improvised duos that could not be anticipated in the ...
Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Clean on the Corner
by Troy Collins
Originally founded in 2008 to commemorate the lesser known “people, places & things" that have historically supported Chicago's progressive jazz scene, Mike Reed's ensemble of the same name continues to ply its bold interpretations of lesser known covers and swinging originals on Clean on the Corner, their fourth recording for 482 Music. Although this session breaks ...
KLANG: Other Doors
by Troy Collins
Though he has long admired the small combo recordings of legendary clarinetist Benny Goodman, Chicago-based clarinetist James Falzone never intended to record a tribute to the revered King of Swing. As a former student of modern composition at the New England Conservatory with a strong presence in Chicago's fertile free-improvisation scene, Falzone assumed his youthful gigs ...
