Stefano Leonardi / Stefano Pastor / Fridolin Blumer / Heinz Geisser: Conversations about Thomas Chapin
by Eyal Hareuveni
American saxophonist and flautist Thomas Chapin left the planet too soon, on February 13th, 1998 after a year-long battle with leukemia, when he was only forty years old. His inspiring spirit lives on, as the heartfelt tribute by Italian flautist Stefano Leonardi proves. Leonardi doesn't attempt to recreate the sorely missed Chapin's sound, or the unique, ...
Plasmic: Live At Chilli Jazz Festival 2013
by Glenn Astarita
This European outfit started as a trio in 2003, and extended its reach by integrating avant-vocalist Agnes Heginger into its rather pliant mode of operations amid some asymmetrical shenanigans, devious interactions and shifty dialogues. The live recording imparts an air of excitement into your listening space, as the artists' push and prod each other within the ...
Stefano Leonardi / Stefano Pastor / Fridolin Blumer / Heinz Geisser: Conversations About Thomas Chapin
by Glenn Astarita
This European quartet assembles to honor the late, New York City-based saxophonist Thomas Chapin who rose to prominence via numerous stints at the legendary Knitting Factory venue and a host of four and five star albums for Knitting Factory Records and other adventurous labels. Chapin's trio work with bassist Mario Pavone, drummer Michael Sarin and engagements ...
Goat's Notes: Wild Nature Executives
by Vincenzo Roggero
Goat's Notes è un sestetto proveniente da Mosca (in alcuni brani si allarga fino a tentetto), che pratica i sentieri della libera improvvisazione con l'approccio cui ci hanno spesso abituato le formazioni provenienti da quella scena musicale. Se quindi il free è l'ancoraggio principale all'idioma jazzistico altri ingredienti giocano un ruolo fondamentale nella fantasmagorica proposta musicale ...
Umberto Petrin: Traces and Ghosts
by Stefano Merighi
Dire che il lavoro di Umberto Petrin in Italia è un po' sottostimato, è dire poco. A parte un curriculum di grande sostanza, e una poetica non comune che relaziona la musica con altri linguaggi, è il suo puro pianismo a convincere una volta di più, a quattro anni dal precedente solo A ...
Billy Bottle & The Multiple: Unrecorded Beam
by Vincenzo Roggero
Uno scrittore/pensatore originale e decentrato come Henry David Toureau, un musicista altrettanto originale come Billy Bottle--multistrumentista alla corte di Mike Westbrook, sentimentalmente colluso con la Canterbury Scene -, un'etichetta d'avanguardia e intransigente come Leo Records, ed ecco servito Unrecorded Beam. Unrecorded Beam è il senso della vita visto attraverso la natura, i suoi ...
Ivo Perelman: Book of Sound
by Glenn Astarita
The mighty tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman leads a team of frequent collaborators and superior craftsmen, pianist Matthew Shipp and bassist William Parker. Drawing on past endeavors in various settings, the trio's remarkably intuitive powers are inherent throughout. With movements that are the cogs in the wheel of instantaneous forays in composition, they navigate through broad vistas ...
Stefano Pastor & Charlotte Hug: Paragon D'archi
by Eyal Hareuveni
The title of the debut duo album of Swiss viola player and vocalist Charlotte Hug and Italian violinist Stefano Pastor is symbolic and insightful. Archi in Italian means bows, as the ones used for the string instruments of Hug and Pastor, but also arches, as in architectural structures. Yet the spectacular, improvised duets of these two ...
