Mark O'Leary / Uri Caine / Ben Perowsky: Closure

Read "Closure" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Irish modern jazz guitarist Mark O'Leary is on a veritable roll. With several comparatively recent releases for this distinguished UK-based jazz/improvisation record label, he has caught the attention of the global jazz community in rather expeditious fashion. On that note, O'Leary is a slick-picking instrumentalist, but unlike many of his peers, he makes every note count. ...

Anthony Braxton with the Creative Jazz Orchestra: Composition No. 175 & Composition No. 126: Trillium-Dialogues M

Read "Composition No. 175 & Composition No. 126: Trillium-Dialogues M" reviewed by John Eyles


If you have been impressed by recent excellent but very different Braxton releases like 20 Standards, Ninetet (Yoshi's) 1997 Vol. 3 or Quintet (London) 2004: Live at the Royal Festival Hall (all on Leo, 2005), there is no way any of them will have prepared you for this latest Braxton release. The music here was recorded ...

Enrico Fazio 7tet: Live in Milano - Villa Litta

Read "Live in Milano - Villa Litta" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Enrico Fazio è sempre stato un musicista discreto e non presenzialista (sul piano della produzione personale, intendiamo). Un musicista “progettuale" si direbbe, che ha sempre centellinato con cura i suoi dischi. Sorprende un po, dunque, l'ascolto di questo compact, registrato dal vivo a Villa Litta in una serata d'agosto di due anni fa. Soprende perché non ...

Evan Parker / September Winds: Short Stories

Read "Short Stories" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk


For British saxophonist Evan Parker, as well as for the horn quintet September Winds, Short Stories is an unexpected record. Parker has excelled in long-form explorations for decades and with September Winds he has focused on site-specific journeys. The band plays in museums, industrial buildings, exposition halls and even a thermal bath in Switzerland. Their first ...

Ivo Perelman: Introspection

Read "Introspection" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Diciamolo pure senza mezzi termini: il brasiliano Ivo Perelman con questa notevole incisione si conferma come uno dei più importanti sassofonisti tenori della scena free odierna. Perelman ha prediletto la formula del trio, una formazione che gli permette di agire con la necessaria libertà di espressione e con cui ha registrato il suo ultimo lavoro Black ...

Phil Minton & Roger Turner: Ammo

Read "Ammo" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Upon its initial LP release, this 1984 improvising session turned more than a few heads. And it would take a fertile imagination for one to reconcile the duo's rendition of Monk's “'Round About Midnight with the original, for example. Armed with boyish enthusiasm, the artists pursue a wanton spirit through their surrealistic game plan. Of course, ...

Mark O'Leary - Uri Caine - Ben Perowsky: Closure

Read "Closure" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Rispetto alla penultima esperienza discografica, Levitation (con Thomasz Stanko e Billy Hart), il nuovo CD del chitarrista Mark O'Leary annovera partner diversi: Uri Caine al pianoforte e Ben Perowsky alla batteria. Immutati rimangono il clima espressivo nonche' il livello di creativita' di questa incisione, anch'essa pervasa dalle medesime strategie organizzative. L'essenzialita' di un linguaggio aforistico, tutto ...

Fredrik Soegard - Hasse Poulsen: ...And We Also Caught a Fish

Read "...And We Also Caught a Fish" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Proseguendo la propria lodevole politica, volta a documentare vari aspetti dell'improvvisazione europea, la Leo Records ha rivolto l'attenzione alla nuova e prolifica scena scandinava. …And We Also Caught A Fish presenta un insolito confronto sperimentale tra i chitarristi danesi Fredrik Soegaard (alla sua terza incisione per l'etichetta di Leo Feigin) e Hasse Poulsen. I due si ...

Szilard Mezei International Ensemble: Draught

Read "Draught" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Sorprendente e appassionante. La musica che il trentunenne violinista e leader Szilard Mezei ha presentato il 10 settembre 2004 al decimo festival “Jazz, improvised music" di Magyarkanisza in Vojvodina (riproposta in questo compact della Leo Records) merita la massima attenzione. A capo del suo Szilard Ensemble in formato internazionale, l'artista ungherese riesce come pochi a coniugare ...

Mark O'Leary: Levitation

Read "Levitation" reviewed by Paul Olson


Mark O'Leary may not be the best-known guitarist around--it's perhaps a little harder to get attention when you're based in Cork, Ireland. But what O'Leary lacks in public profile is more than made up for by his immense talent and originality. Levitation is one of four sessions recorded on his own dime over the course of ...
