Carla Bley/Andy Sheppard/Steve Swallow: Andando el Tiempo
by Karl Ackermann
There are few figures in modern music that are truly more iconic than Carla Bley. Her list of accomplishments are impossible to chronicle in this limited space, but suffice to say that her influence traverses genres, styles and generations, in a way that perhaps no other artist has approached. Her early crowning jewel—the jazz opera Escalator ...
Arancio, nero e nostalgia: tempo di ristampe in casa Impulse!
by Luca Canini
Piovono ristampe in casa Impulse!. Un diluvio benedetto a tinte arancionere che riporta sugli scaffali dei negozi classicissimi e rarità a prezzi stracciati. Non il massimo l'operazione dal punto di vista filologico: grafica discutibile, copertine originali incrociate grossolanamente, rimasterizzazione discreta ma non eccelsa, note riprodotte in miniatura e in alcuni casi praticamente illeggibili; ma il rapporto ...

Various Artists: Creative Music Studio Archive Selections Vol. 1
by Giuseppe Segala
Ecco alcune gemme uscite dagli archivi del Creative Music Studio, l'istituzione fondata nel 1971 da Karl Berger, dalla moglie Ingrid e da Ornette Coleman con lo scopo di realizzare musica senza costrizioni di carattere stilistico o commerciale. Ricordiamo le interessanti considerazioni al riguardo di George Lewis, che nel suo testo A Power Stronger Than Itself. The ...
Emanuele Parrini: Viaggio al centro del violino
by Neri Pollastri
È molte cose a un tempo, questo lavoro per gran parte in solitudine di Emanuele Parrini, artista che ha riaffermato il violino nel jazz del nostro paese: come recita il titolo, è un'esplorazione delle possibiltà sonore del violino, strumento comunque poco usato e poco valorizzato nel mondo del jazz; al pari di tutti i lavori in ...
Steve Swell: Unlimited Musical Possibilities
by Victor L. Schermer
"Free Jazz" and “Avant-Garde Jazz" are catch phrases often associated with musical pioneers such as Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor but more broadly refer to music that goes outside of the mainstream of melody, harmony, rhythm, and structure. When that happens, opinions and emotions abound. Reactions vary from disgust to excitement and enthusiasm, and it is ...
Wadada Leo Smith: I'm A Dreamer
by John Sharpe
As dreamers go trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith lies at the more serious end of the spectrum. Not for him dreams that fade with the daylight, as evidenced by the realization of his epic Civil Rights inspired Ten Freedom Summers (Cuneiform, 2012). Smith actually composed the first piece of what developed into a 21 piece magnum opus ...
The New NEA Jazz Masters: Anthony Braxton
There has been disagreement for more than forty years about whether the saxophonist, composer and sometime pianist Anthony Braxton is a jazz musician. With many others, he long insisted that the music he wrote and played was not jazz, but in 1993 he told author Cole Gagne, “...even though I have been saying I’m not a ...
Paul Motian: Paul Motian (Old & New Masters Edition)
by John Kelman
In a time when leadership roles are being thrust increasingly upon young musicians who may have the chops, the technique and the theory, but not the experience, drummer Paul Motian could be considered a lesson in patience, in waiting for the right time, in holding off for the precise moment of readiness.It's not that ...
