Spin Marvel: Infolding
by Luca Muchetti
Nuove eruzioni dal vulcanico batterista britannico Martin France, alla guida degli Spin Marvel. Il musicista già ascoltato al fianco di Django Bates, Evan Parker, Kenny Wheeler, Lee Konitz, Dave Holland, Arild Andersen, e Ralph Towner firma quest'anno un nuovo capitolo della sua storia musicale lanciando per RareNoiseRecords Infolding, affascinante e acido sbocco musicale che al jazz ...
Matt Pavolka: The Horns Band
by Dave Wayne
I played Matt Pavolka's The Horns Band for a friend who immediately noticed that the very impressive list of acknowledgements contained more nods to literary and intellectual heavyweights such as Jose Saramago, Cormac McCarthy and Soren Kierkegaard than to musicians (the band members and Guillermo Klein). Perhaps Pavolka's intent was to show that he's interested in ...
John Stowell/Michael Zilber Quartet: Live Beauty
by Dan McClenaghan
Part of the appeal of the teaming of guitarist John Stowell with various “post Coltrane" saxophonists is the cool/hot dynamic. Stowell is the guy with a Zen restraint, the cool guy, his chords sometimes sounding as if they are ringing from frozen stalactite filaments in ice caves. Saxophonists? Some blow cool-- those of the Lester Young/Stan ...
Jakob Bro: Gefion
by Henning Bolte
Gefion, Danish guitarist Jakob Bro's ECM-debut as leader, is a fascinating reinvention of melodicism. His music leads listeners deep into the rich resonances emerging from brilliantly simple melodic motifs imbued with seductive atmospheres. Like Möbius strips his music's lines wind seemingly endlessly. Its evocative melodic nuclei very often reach the lower limits of dynamics, thereby opening ...
Matt Pavolka: The Horns Band
by Vincenzo Roggero
A dispetto della sua ventennale presenza sulla scena musicale newyorchese, apprezzato e trasversale collaboratore di musicisti quali Lee Konitz, Paul Motian, Ben Monder, Tony Malaby, per citarne alcuni, Matt Pavolka è solamente al suo secondo album da leader. Inspiegabilmente aggiungiamo noi, perché questo The Horns Band è album con i fiocchi e rivela le eccellenti doti ...
7Dreams: The Story of a Country, a Friendship and a Sound
by Jakob Baekgaard
One of the things that is great about the digital age is how easy it is to get access to music from different parts of the world. Pluralism is the keyword. Jazz is not just one thing and each country has its specific take on the jazz tradition. However, sometimes jazz musicians of a ...
Martin Speake: The Unquiet Mind
by Duncan Heining
We have here three very fine CDs from British alto saxophonist, Martin Speake. Speake is classically trained and when I first heard him in the late 90s, he brought to jazz a tone that emphasised the clarity of each note and the purity of the melodic line that was quite unusual in a music more used ...
A dialogo con Alessandro Lanzoni
by Neri Pollastri
Classe 1992, Alessandro Lanzoni ha già alle spalle un percorso artistico di tutto rispetto, collaborazioni con artisti di primo piano (giovanissimo, aveva già registrato con Lee Konitz) e riconoscimenti importanti (lo scorso anno ha vinto il referendum di Musica Jazz come miglior nuovo talento italiano). Dopo averlo seguito in varie occasioni fin da quando ...

Family and friends, including many jazz greats, will come together to celebrate the life of CHARLIE HADEN (1937-2014), one of the most innovative and influential bassists in the history of jazz. A three-time Grammy winner, Haden has received many awards and accolades throughout his five-decade career including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, the NEA Jazz Master ...
Tommy Halferty Trio: Burkina
by Ian Patterson
Veteran Irish guitarist Tommy Halferty has played in numerous settings over the past four decades, from duos with Stephane Grappelli, John Abercrombie and John Etheridge to small ensemble forays with the likes of George Mraz, Lee Konitz and Benny Golson. Perhaps it's in a trio format, however, where Halferty feels most at home, crafting notable collaborations ...
