Matthias Ziegler: La Rusna - Music for Flutes

Read "La Rusna  - Music for Flutes" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La Rusna è disco soggetto a due forze centrifughe. Da una parte vi è il marchio Leo Records, etichetta storicamente votata alla sperimentazione spesso radicale, garanzia di originalità e di integrità artistica. Dall'altra vi sono il sottotitolo, “musica per flauti," e le immagini di copertina (un paesaggio idilliaco con cascate e verdi dirupi mozzafiato) che sanno ...

Lapslap: Granita

Read "Granita" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Si può ragionare di improvvisazione in modo niente affatto dissimile da quello in cui si ragiona di composizione. Non esiste e non deve esistere una verità assoluta, un unico modus operandi, un dogma da seguire alla lettera. Così vi è chi approccia all'improvvisazione come ad una composizione estemporanea, che a questa deve assomigliare per forma e ...

Berthet, Vonlanthen, Bondi: Silo

Read "Silo" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Experimental guitarist Vinz Vonlanthen shares equal billing with a motivated team on Silo, set upon asymmetrical pulses, bustling movements, and passages shaded with inquisitive-like thematic constructions all enhanced by a superb audio engineering process. Essentially, the trio goes on a journey to seek those often-elusive answers via enthusiastic interplay amid a few torrential downpours.Vonlanthen's ...

Ivo Perelman - Joe Morris - Gerald Cleaver: Family Ties

Read "Family Ties" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ivo Perelman è un sassofonista brasiliano che dal suo album di debutto nel 1989 ha inciso una serie infinita di dischi a proprio nome. Fin qui niente di strano se non fosse per il piccolo particolare che il nostro non è nome di fama planetaria e suona free jazz, spesso addentrandosi nei territori e nelle forme ...

Ivo Perelman with Sirius String Quartet: The Passion According to G.H.

Read "The Passion According to G.H." reviewed by Glenn Astarita


At times, it seems difficult to fathom that Brazilian saxophone titan Ivo Perelman's collaboration with the Sirius String Quartet is totally improvised. And while improvisation is a principle component of the saxophonist's extensive and variegated discography, an unusually high synergistic force amid the artists' underlying tenacity offers a template for success. As the album comprises intense, ...

Read "Evocations" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, led by pianist, trumpeter, composer and music director Mark Harvey, celebrates its sixth album for Leo Records. Recorded at various venues in the Boston, MA, area, the orchestra's empirical gait surges forward, as no two compositions are distinctly alike.

MMM Quartet: Live at the Metz' Arsenal

Read "Live at the Metz' Arsenal" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


World-renowned improvisers align for a meeting of the minds on this live date, spawning a multidimensional stance, where on-the-fly invention rules the roost. The breadth of each artists' scope and stylization yields a scrappy game plan, containing a succession of abstracts which move forward at a brisk pace. Electronics pioneer Alvin Curran supplies bizarre background treatments, ...

Jon Corbett Dangerous Musics: Kongens Gade

Read "Kongens Gade" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ecco un disco impeccabile nel suo genere, ma scontato e inutile in quanto non sollecita alcuna nuova riflessione rispetto a quanto è già stato scritto infinite volte su certa improvvisazione radicale di derivazione free e su buona parte dei CD della Leo. Il fluire continuo di questa performance, registrata dal vivo a Londra nel maggio 2009, ...
