Richard Carr/Mike Nord/Georg Hofmann/Art Maddox: Biosphere
by AAJ Italy Staff
È spuntata dal niente la musica di Biosphere, con i quattro musicisti riunitisi in una sala della Oregon`s Williamette University, senza spartiti, senza idee precostituite, a farsi sorprendere da quello che dai loro strumenti avrebbe potuto materializzarsi. L'improvvisazione collettiva è qualcosa di difficile, i cui risultati non sono per niente sicuri, in cui la scintilla dell'inventiva ...
Mark O'Leary: Awakening
by John Eyles
By turns, Mark O'Leary continues to be impressive, baffling, infuriating and intriguing. At his best, he is without parallel as a guitarist--impressively inventive and sounding unlike anyone else. Here, a track such as “First Light is a prime example; unhurried, reflective and mesmerising, full of gently bent notes, it creates its own beguiling soundworld. Likewise, the ...

Gebhard Ullmann / Chris Dahlgren / Jay Rosen: Cut It Out
by Dan McClenaghan
German multi-woodwind player Gebhard Ullmann found the cover art for Cut It Out in the hallway of his Berlin apartment building, and he and bandmates “found the music"--these spontaneous compositions--in bassist Chris Dahlgren's Brooklyn living room, where they recorded the disc, creating a set of sounds that have an spontaneous feeling all the way through.
Caroline Kraabel / Phil Hargreaves: Where We Were
by Marc Medwin
As part of the London Improvisers Orchestra, American-born and London-based instrumentalist Caroline Kraabel is no stranger to electro-acoustic incorporations of all varieties, but Where We Were takes such concerns to the next level. While the playing is outstanding, it is the world invoked between each utterance that makes the disc one of the most fascinating soundscape ...

And regardless of format, group size or style within the jazz idiom, his penchant for bravado and humor is unswerving. The band's in-your-face line of attack heralds a multifaceted approach to jazz-rock ...

Sun Ra & His Space Arkestra: What Planet Is This?
by AAJ Italy Staff
Beh, si sa com'è l'astronomia! La scoperta di satelliti, pianeti, pianetini, galassie lontane, supernovae è un'attività continua, un aggiornamento progressivo di una mappa cosmica che più si va a dettagliare più ci si accorge che è l'immagine stessa dello spazio infinito. Capita così che l'interrogativo What Planet Is This? sia quello che apre ancora una volta ...
