Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out to Lynch

Read "Out to Lynch" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Poche suggestioni tipicamente “nordiche" nel nuovo lavoro di Kalle Kalima, fulgido rappresentante di una sorta di new-age finnica, chitarrista vagamente visionario ormai da tempo residente nella sempre più attiva Berlino e innamorato quanto basta del mondo del cinema. Dopo il precedente lavoro ispirato ai film di Stanley Kubrik (Some Kubricks of Blood, divertendosi a storpiare il ...

Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out to Lynch

Read "Out to Lynch" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Berlin-based, Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima continues to project his aural impressions of the world of movies. This time he focuses on the eccentric characters and locations from the films of David Lynch, following his abstractions of director Stanley Kubrick on Some Kubricks of Blood (TUM, 2009). Kalima is not attempting to re-score or rearrange the original ...

Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out To Lynch

Read "Out To Lynch" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima uses the cinema as a platform for riding a wave of abstract impressionism. As this album title intimates, the premise is based on eccentric film director David Lynch's body of work. The band pulls quite a few punches on a per-track basis, spanning cantankerous minimalism, free jazz, and levitating sub-themes amid some ...

Olavi Trio & Friends: Triologia

Read "Triologia" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


The most famous Olavi in history of modern Finnish music may be Olavi Virta, the godfather of the Finnish Tango. The Olavi Trio has little in common with the famous Olavi; it just happens that everyone in this trio carries the middle name Olavi--two, as their official names despite being rarely known by it. These three ...

Kalle Kalima: Some Kubricks of Blood

Read "Some Kubricks of Blood" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il chitarrista finlandese Kalle Kalima risiede da alcuni anni a Berlino ma è rimasto in stretto contatto con molti musicisti finlandesi coi quali è cresciuto, sotto l'ala protettiva del chitarrista Raoul Bjorkenheim. Questo progetto in quartetto dedicato alla follia visionaria del regista Stanley Kubrick gli consente di richiamare al suo fianco vecchi amici-rivali come il saxofonista ...

Kalle Kalima: Some Kubricks of Blood

Read "Some Kubricks of Blood" reviewed by Anthony Shaw


From the opening flurry of discordant semitones, the following percussive entrance of saxophone and then guitar, it becomes clear that there is something rather weird and threatening about Some Kubricks of Blood. Much is surely due to the disharmonies and clashes of timbre--grating guitar over accordion gushes--and the abrupt rhythmic collisions, in addition to intentional off-mike ...

Kalle Kalima / Ed Schuller / Ernst Bier: Jazz Parasites: Very Early

Read "Jazz Parasites: Very Early" reviewed by Marc Medwin


Parasites is an international trio that has been in existence for over five years. Drummer Ernst Bier and bassist Ed Schuller's long-fostered musical partnership is evident throughout, resulting in an airtight but loosely swinging rhythmic feel, no matter what the context. Similarly, guitarist Kalle Kalima demonstrates his diverse influences while never falling victim to them. He'll ...
