Ivo Perelman - Brian Willson: The Stream of Life
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il secondo disco che Ivo Perelman ha pubbicato con la Leo Records per celebrare il ventennio di carriera è un altro duo con un batterista, dopo The Apple in the Dark con Gerry Hemingway. Su The Stream of Life è Brian Willson a sedere dietro i tamburi. Si tratta di un'altra storia, sia perché qui Perelman ...
Francois Carrier / Alexey Lapin / Michel Lambert: Inner Spire
by John Eyles
For Inner Spire, his fourth release on Leo records, Montreal-based alto saxophonist François Carrier performs with a new trio, retaining his long-standing collaborator Michel Lambert on drums and replacing double-bass with piano, played by Alexey Lapin. Recorded at the DOM Cultural Centre in Moscow in December 2010, the album's five tracks were entirely improvised. That is ...
Ivo Perelman Quartet: The Hour of the Star
by Glenn Astarita
With his newly formed quartet, Brazilian tenor sax titan and visual artist Ivo Perelman effectively synchronizes the freer aspects of improvisation with bop, and harmonious patterns. And the musicians' synergy offers an underlying constant within the copious slants and contrasts presented throughout. The musicians kick off the festivities with “A Tearful Tale, where pianist ...
Scoolptures: White Sickness
by Glenn Astarita
White Sickness is an extension of Scoolpture's 2009 outing for Leo Records, Materiale Umano. Again, the unorthodox lineup intimates the man and machine lineup via the quartet's heavy use of electronics. However, the program is designed with equilibrium, where the live electronics, drums, and sax elements attains equal footing with the effects playing a vital role. ...
Joëlle Léandre: Live at the Ulrichsberg Kaleidophon
by Glenn Astarita
Few modern era instrumentalists sojourn into uncharted regions of the musical cosmos with the ingenuity of bassist extraordinaire Joëlle Léandre. Supported by her vast discography as a leader and co-conspirator, Léandre's serious intentions are differentiated by a sincere vision and jubilant demeanor. These attributes repeatedly surface on her recordings. This release is a two-CD gala that ...
Joelle Leandre Tentet & Trio: Can You Hear Me?
by Eyal Hareuveni
It is quite rare to find recordings of composed works by French double-bassist Joëlle Léandre. Léandre has gained a justified reputation as an innovative virtuoso of the double-bass, a masterful free improviser, and as an imaginative collaborator, mostly in small, intimate outfits. This double-disc set, with its first half featuring Léandre's composed work for a tentet, ...
Umberto Petrin: A Dawn Will Come
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo disco, registrato in completa solitudine presso la Casa della Musica di Genova, riflette il Petrin-pensiero. Forse è quando si è soli con il proprio strumento che si riesce ad essere più diretti, incisivi, chiari. Il linguaggio improvvisativo è per il pianista pavese la risultante di un pensiero estetico, di una serie di prospettive che risiedono ...
Katja Cruz y Los Aires: Mi corazòn
by AAJ Italy Staff
Katja Cruz, nata nel 1968 a Graz (quindi austriaca: vero cognome Krusche), è al terzo album per la Leo, il meno prossimo alla filosofia estetica della casa russo-londinese (che peraltro non disdegna episodiche puntate in ambiti più “leggeri"), visto che vi si respira un'aria di chiara marca sudamericana, o comunque latina (la Cruz ha del resto ...
Atipico Trio: Eqqueqqua' !!!
by Jerry D'Souza
Imagination is the key to the door of communication for baritone saxophonist Carlo Actis Dato. He opens it to reveal a wide panorama of music, that he shapes through several groups. Over the years, he has had a nonet with Actis Furioso, a quintet with Actis Band, the Brasserie Trio and duets with Baldo Martinez. No ...
Heinz Geisser - Eiichi Hayashi - Takayuki Kato - Yuki Saga: On Bashamichi Avenue
by AAJ Italy Staff
Chitarra classica e percussioni classiche hanno caratterizzato il percorso formativo dello svizzero Heinz Geisser che, dopo una prima incisione in veste di chitarrista con il sassofonista Urs Blochlinger, ha spostato sempre di più il proprio interesse verso le percussioni e la musica improvvisata. Durante una visita a New York forma il Collective 4tet, l'ensemble che l'ha ...
