by Angelo Leonardi
A distanza di un anno da City of Broken Dreams, l'ECM pubblica in questi giorni il nuovo capitolo del trio di Giovanni Guidi con Thomas Morgan e João Lobo, This Is the Day. Un lavoro particolarmente raffinato e maturo, con nuove splendide composizioni e una ricca empatia. Il pianista umbro ce ne parla in quest'intervista.
Louis Sclavis Quartet: Silk and Salt Melodies
by Glenn Astarita
Iranian zarb (diagonally positioned drum)performer Kevyan Chemirani adds a worldly and exotic aspect to prominent French clarinetist, composer Louis Scalvis' band, featuring guitarist Gilles Coronado and keyboardist Benjamin Moussay who have performed with the leader on his Atlas Trio album, Sources (ECM Records, 2011). Sclavis' highly praised and disparate body of work for ECM Records is ...

Phil Barnes' Favourite Albums of 2014
by Phil Barnes
The sheer volume of great records that I have managed to hear, and the knowledge that there are many more that I haven't, means that I make no pretence of presenting a list of the definitive albums of the year. Instead, this is a snapshot list of the ten records that I have enjoyed the most ...
Fabio Delvò: Rastplatz
by Dave Wayne
I became aware of Fabio Delvo's music via his recordings with guitarist Jeff Platz. Platz has an ear for first-rate musicianship, and his recordings with lesser-known European musicians such as Delvo, Jan Klare, and Meinrad Kneer have been nothing short of revelatory. The title of Delvo's second album as a leader, Rastplatz, isn't a tribute to ...
Louis Sclavis Quartet: Silk and Salt Melodies
by John Kelman
After reinventing himself with a completely revamped ensemble on Sources (ECM, 2012), reed multi-instrumentalist Louis Sclavis expands the purviews and possibilities of his Atlas Trio by adding percussionist Keyvan Chemirani to the mix for Silk and Salt Melodies. Sclavis has, in his 33-year career as a leader--and since coming to ECM Records in 1991 with the ...
Louis Sclavis Quartet: Silk and Salt Melodies
by Karl Ackermann
With its ancient roots and latter-day association with New Orleans, Dixieland and swing, the clarinet isn't often a frontline instrument in modern jazz let alone avant-garde. A handful of players such as Don Byron and Marty Ehrlich have aided in its prominence but not many. In the hands of Louis Sclavis the bass clarinet is not ...
Ivo Perelman - 5 CD in un anno
by Vincenzo Roggero
Nella carriera del sassofonista e artista visuale brasiliano Ivo Perelman (il suo sito è significativamente dedicato ai due differenti ambiti artistici), iniziata discograficamente nel 1989 con l'album Ivo, possiamo individuare due punti fermi, due caratteristiche rimaste per lo più immutate nel corso degli anni. La prima è la presenza all'interno di un free spesso privo di ...
Jean-Louis Matinier / Marco Ambrosini: Inventio
by John Kelman
By this point heading for longstanding status with ECM Records, it's always intriguing to follow an artist through the label's discography, as one relationship seems to lead, inevitably, to another. While French accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier made his first appearance with the label on fellow Frenchman Louis Sclavis' Dans La Nuit (2000), it was his tenure with ...
Principato di Monaco: i trent'anni del Festival Printemps des Arts
by Libero Farnè
Una grafica d'impronta pop-postmodern caratterizzava la copertina del catalogo del Festival Printemps des Arts: un logo dalla comunicativa perentoria e la sfrontata aggressività di colori contrastanti costituivano un'efficace traduzione visiva della sua filosofia. Nell'edizione del trentennale il direttore artistico Marc Monnet ha dato vita a un festival curioso e tentacolare, sempre alla caccia di nuove collaborazioni ...
