Lukas Ligeti, Thollem McDonas: Imaginary Images

Read "Imaginary Images" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Entrambi prossimi alla cinquantina (Ligeti, figlio di György, la varcherà a giugno), i due performer qui riuniti si confrontano sul terreno della libera improvvisazione, pratica di cui d'altro canto il catalogo Leo pullula. Lo fanno attraverso pezzi tutto sommato brevi (dai tre ai nove minuti), il che--specificatamente in presenza di questa economia di mezzi--non può che ...

Hypercolor: Hypercolor

Read "Hypercolor" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

The past few months have seen a stream of truly--and in some cases mind-bogglingly--wonderful guitar-centric power trio albums. Yet, the eponymous debut of the Brooklyn-based avant-jazz-rock band Hypercolor stands out, but not for the reasons you'd think. Sure, the trio consists of musical brainiacs James Ilgenfritz and Lukas Ligeti; genre omnivores whose own work and collaborations ...

Thollem McDonas: The Beauty of Never Going Back Home

Read "Thollem McDonas: The Beauty of Never Going Back Home" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

What is often forgotten about improvised music is that it can come from anywhere. Though its history is inextricably intertwined with jazz, improvisation is part and parcel of a myriad of musical cultures. Pianist and composer Thollem McDonas is not just aware of this fact, it is part of his daily existence. About 10 years ago, ...

Lukas Ligeti: Pattern Time

Read "Pattern Time" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Secondo una filosofia estetica assai tipica dei batteristi-leader, la musica di questo lavoro rivela immediatamente uno scheletro fortemente ancorato all'elemento ritmico, sia nell'iniziale, rotondo “Without Prior Warning," che nel più iterativo, a tratti vagamente ipnotico “On Patterned Time" (in tale tessuto s'inserisce ottimamente il balafon). Il batterista e leader cui ci riferiamo è il viennese Lukas ...

Yo Miles! Revisited: Lightning and Shinjuku

Read "Yo Miles! Revisited: Lightning and Shinjuku" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Amongst the plethora of tributes to trumpet icon Miles Davis' electric period on Columbia, beginning with 1969's In a Silent Way and ending with 1975's Agharta and Pangaea, only a few stand out as being truly reverential--not just to the electrified energy and jungle funk of the music, but to its undeniably avant leanings as well. ...
