Jason Roebke Octet: Cinema Spiral
by Mark Corroto
If entropy is a scientific theory that describes how all things in nature tend towards a gradual decline and disorder, then Jason Roebke's Octet is the anti-entropy. His second octet release Cinema Spiral and the previous High/Red/Center (Delmark, 2014) make order out of the impression of chaos. Such is the enticement of jazz.
Greg Ward & 10 Tongues: Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Vic Albani
Tanti ma tanti anni fa, di passaggio da quelle parti per un giro chicagoano, mi domandai cosa cavolo potesse lasciare ai posteri un posto come Peoria (capitale dell'omonima contea) a parte un celebre discorso di Abramo Lincoln del 1864 sulla schiavitù e i diritti del popolo nero, l'aver dato i natali a un paio di discreti ...
Greg Ward & 10 Tongues: Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Mark Corroto
To describe saxophonist Greg Ward's Touch My Beloved's Thought as his magnum opus is to impede his development as a composer. Let's just say for many a jazz artist, if this recording were included in their discography, it would be their signature piece. For Ward, it just represents the possibilities. The backstory to this ...
Keefe Jackson/Josh Berman/Jon Rune Strøm/Tollef Østvang: Southern Sun
by Mark Corroto
Americans have discovered Norwegian jazz artists through several sources. Manfred Eicher's ECM label has produced music by the now famous artists: Arild Andersen, Jan Garbarek, Tord Gustavsen, Terje Rypdal, Trygve Seim and Nils Petter Molvaer. Their success bled into the modern sounds of Bugge Wesseltoft, Per Zanussi, Håvard Wiik, and Hakon Kornstad. Perhaps the closest connection ...
James Falzone: The Room Is
by Mark Corroto
Legend has it that Jimmy Giuffre harbored a vehement distaste for the use of percussion in his ensembles. He found drummers distracting, irritating and clamorous. By the time he recorded the classic records 1961 (ECM, 1992) and Free Fall (Columbia, 1963) he had jettisoned drummers from his piano and bass trio. It must have driven marketing ...
James Falzone - The Renga Ensemble: The Room Is
by Glenn Astarita
Enterprising Chicago-based clarinetist James Falzone and a core band of fellow improvisers signal a modern day avant-jazz summit, inspired by the leader's affinity for Renga, which is a Japanese poetic tradition where 2 or more poets work in parallel to produce a new work. Falzone yields dividends by enlisting an ensemble, featuring prominent trailblazers of the ...

Jason Roebke Octet: High/Red/Center
by Giuseppe Segala
È un momento di fervida creazione per il contrabbassista Jason Roebke, quarantenne stabilito a Chicago da ormai una quindicina di anni, che in quella città condivide il proprio operato con un ventaglio di musicisti molto interessanti, tra cui elenchiamo gli stessi che prendono parte a questo splendido ottetto: il sassofonista alto Greg Ward, il tenorista Keefe ...
Erb/Lonberg-Holm/Jackson/Reid: Duope
by Giuseppe Segala
Fred Lonberg-Holm e Christoph Erb avevano già registrato in duo nel 2011 per l'interessante etichetta svizzera Veto Records/Exchange, gestita dallo stesso Erb, il CD Screw and Straw: ora la formula che abbinava violoncello e clarinetto basso (in quel caso anche sax tenore) viene semplicemente raddoppiata, con l'inserimento di Keefe Jackson ai clarinetti basso e contrabbasso, e ...
