Pago Libre: John Wolf Brennan - Tscho Theissing - Daniele Patumi - Arkady Shilkloper: Pago Libre
by Glenn Astarita
Pago Libre is one of the finest bands in the biz. This is a reissue of their original 1995 recording for the Germany-based "Bellaphon" label. Essentially, little or nothing is out of this band’s overall scope of capabilities. They commence the festivities with a toe-tapping groove, via bassist Daniele Patumi’s expressive walking bass lines during the ...
Brennan/Denzler/Weber/Wolfarth: Momentum 3
by Glenn Astarita
With its third release, this European band surges onward as a floating collective that explores atonal sounds amid throaty whispers, split tones and much more. Here, Christian Weber employs close-handed bass techniques atop Christian Wolfarth’s free-jazz drumming approach. But the group’s methodology rings more like a transformation in progress. The musicians provide downright eerie undercurrents amid ...
Dempa: Aki Takase - Aleksander Kolkowski - Tony Buck: Nine Fragments
by Glenn Astarita
Pianist Aki Takase (Japan), violinist Aleksander Kolkowski (England) and drummer Tony Buck (Australia) embark upon a series of abstracts that often elicits notions of the avant-garde cinema. Hence, the music is visual, yet undeniably ethereal in scope. As the trio’s moniker, “Dempa” signifies the Japanese word for “electrical wave.” With this release, the ...
Evan Parker-Phil Wachsmann-Teppo Hauta-aho: The Needles

The first disc represents the trio’s collaboration during a performance at “The 9th International Kerava Jazz Festival” at “Keuda House,” “Kerava Hall, Finland. While disc two was recorded at London’s infamous “Gateway Studios.” Ultimately, these improvising masters spread their wings in exuberant fashion! Many of these pieces feature the artists’ ability to mimic and counterbalance one ...
Carlos "Zingaro" - Joelle Leandre - Sebi Tramontana: The Chicken Check In Complex
by Glenn Astarita
Bassist Joelle Leandre and trombonist Sebi Tramontana extend concepts witnessed on their duet CD for “Leo Records,” E’Vero. Hence, a very colorful engagement, despite the intimations of what could have been a brooding effort – due to the inherent tonalities of the twosome’s respective instruments. Here violinist Carlos “Zingaro” provides some additional pleasure and inventiveness!
Clarinet Trio Two (Ullmann-Kupke-Nabicht): Translucent Tones
by Glenn Astarita
Led by bass clarinetist Gebhard Ullmann, the trio follows up its inaugural release by extending its scope - largely due to the clarinetists’ cunning arrangements and their discerning improvisational exercises. Moreover, the musicians’ applied synergy has hit a zenith of excellence here. While they still inject chamber-like characteristics into a good portion of these seventeen pieces, ...
The Remote Viewers: The Minimum Programme Of Humanity
by Glenn Astarita
This is one of those bands that is hard to categorize. At times, this British trio can come off sounding like a futuristic pop outfit with a Gothic twist. Or a modern jazz group that melds programmatic sax parts with free spirited improv. Whereas the musicians enhance their palate with streaming synths, electronic percussion and subtly ...
John Wolf Brennan - Daniele Patumi: Time Jumps - Space Cracks
by Glenn Astarita
Recorded at an arts museum in Switzerland, the duo infuses easy to grasp, melodious pronouncements with chamber and avant-garde jazz sensibilities. However, pianist John Wolf Brennan (Ireland) and bassist Daniele Patumi (Italy) also intermix non-Western modalities into this beautifully constructed program. Known for their work with the multinational quartet, “Pago Libre,” the artists render interesting variations ...
Mat Maneri - Pandelis Karayorgis: Disambiguation
by Glenn Astarita
This recently released outing might serve as a landmark for the new age of jazz! First off, we get to hear violinist Matt Maneri’s notorious microtonal excursions integrated into abstractly concocted Bop-style frameworks along with a few scant nods to Ornette Coleman. The co-leader of this date, pianist Pandelis Karayorgis, is no stranger to the realm ...
