Simon Rose, Stefan Schultze: The Ten Thousand Things
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il sassofonista londinese Simon Rose e il pianista tedesco (di Colonia) Stefan Schultze praticano un'improvvisazione ispida, anticonsolatoria per eccellenza, attraversata da un minimalismo qua e là fin troppo insistito, estenuato, con l'inevitabile conseguenza che il margine di comunicabilità con l'esterno (ascoltatore in primis) si stringe pericolosamente.

The African and African/American tradition of Jazz informed the experiments of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, John Coltrane, and Anthony Braxton, while the UK players ...
