Doek Festival 2018 - This Is Our Music Live at BIMHUIS Amsterdam
by BIMHUIS
"This Is Our Music": many sides of the flourishing Amsterdam improv scene were revealed at the 2018 Doek Festival, with well-known musicians and international guests. This event signalled the return of the Amsterdam-based collective Doek to its roots: personal projects by its individual core members. The result is a richly varied program including two nights at ...

Chamber 4: City Of Light
by John Sharpe
City of Light is the follow up to the excellent eponymous debut by Chamber 4 (FMR, 2015) and presents an unchanged line up. It's also a close relative of For Sale (Clean Feed, 2015), which features three of the same players. Given those connections it shouldn't be a surprise that this live recording from a concert ...
Troy Dostert's Best Releases of 2017
by Troy Dostert
Looking over the vast quantity of fine music released in 2017, it is reassuring to know that even in these troubled times, the spirit of creativity and endurance that jazz has always embodied continues to hold strong, especially as the music continually finds new forms of expression that move beyond stylistic boundaries. It was a particularly ...
John Dikeman / Luis Vicente / Hugo Antunes / Gabriel Ferrandini: Salão Brazil
by John Sharpe
Amsterdam-domiciled American saxophonist John Dikeman and Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente have become regular collaborators, although the only prior evidence on disc is their first meeting in Twenty One 4tet's Live At Zaal 100 (Not Two, 2016). For the limited edition LP Salão Brazil they have enlisted two of the brassman's countrymen in Belgian-based bassist Hugo Antunes ...

WAS? What About Sam: Happy Meal
by Neri Pollastri
Un quintetto italo-portoghese di giovani musicisti, dalla composizione tradizionale -ritmica più sax tenore e tromba -ma dalla musica invece tutt'altro che ordinaria: questo è WAS -What About Sam, formazione al primo album con questo Happy Meal, metà delle tracce del quale sono infatti scherzosamente intitolate a fantasiose e improbabili ricette culinarie. La cifra del ...
Fail Better!: OWT
by John Sharpe
Taking Samuel Beckett's exhortation from Worstward Ho as a moniker--and a highly appropriate credo for improvisers to aspire to--Portuguese co-operative ensemble Fail Better! proffer their second release, following Zero Sum (JACC, 2014), as a limited edition LP on the Lithuanian NoBusiness label. Of the five proponents, likely the most familiar will be trumpeter Luis Vicente and ...
Twenty One 4tet: Live At Zaal 100
by John Sharpe
The moniker Twenty One 4tet represents a summit of cosmopolitan international improvisers gathering in Amsterdam . On the face of it there's not a lot of connection between peripatetic American saxophonist John Dikeman's Ayler-inspired tirades and Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente's thoughtful chamber explorations, but the outcome suggests much more of a meeting of minds than might ...
Twenty One 4Tet: Live At Zaal 100
by Mark Corroto
I'm assuming that the Twenty One 4Tet recording Live At Zaal was conceived as a one-off deal, with Portuguese trumpeter Luís Vicente visiting Amsterdam-based players John Dikeman, Wilbert De Joode and Onno Govaert. This concert, from September 2015, finds Vicente combining his impressive craftsmanship with three like-minded players. Then again, it might be just ...
