Wadada Leo Smith, The Red Microphone & Clean Feed Releases

There are two new releases from the Finnish Tum label to show Smith's creativity: Sacred Ceremonies with Bill Laswell and Milford Graves and the other a solo set. Some of Clean ...

Lina Allemano: gli album che sto ascoltando
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Ways + Toldam, Fortunes (LORNA Records, 2020). Album accattivante, fresco di stampa. I Ways sono un duo formato da Brodie West (sax alto) e Evan Cartwright (batteria) provenienti da Toronto. Mi mancano molto le loro esibizioni dal vivo che ogni volta mi trasportano in mondi lontani. Musica minimalista, riflessiva, elegante, magica, intrigante, semplicemente ...

See Through 4: Permanent Moving Parts
by Troy Dostert
Canadian bassist Pete Johnston is something of a jack-of-all-trades composer, working in contexts ranging from abstract chamber music to the headier fringes of prog-rock. His various See Through groupings allow him to pursue his muse wherever it leads: See Through Two's Slow Bend (All- Set!, 2016) has him teamed up with fellow bassist Rob Clutton for ...
Lina Allemano Four: Vegetables
by Troy Dostert
Trumpeter Lina Allemano is one of those artists whose boundless creativity requires numerous outlets for its adequate expression. Her Ohrenschmaus trio is a hard-driving unit that possesses a tenacious energy but somehow leaves room for adventitious excursions. The group's Rats and Mice (Lumo Records) was one of 2020's most intriguing releases. She's also an intrepid innovator ...
See Through 4: Permanent Moving Parts
by Chris May
Composer and bassist Pete Johnston, leader of Toronto's See Through 4, cites Lennie Tristano and Eric Dolphy as primary reference points for the quartet's music. As a listener, you may feel such connections are tenuous. Whatever his strengths, Tristano was not known for playfulness, a quality which runs through Permament Moving Parts. Plus, the contrapuntalism to ...
