Ken Vandermark Resonance Ensemble: Double Arc
by Mark Corroto
For the most part, we only follow the trajectory of an artist's career many years after his work has been completed. Looking back at the career of Miles Davis, you can now play connect-the-dots from bebop to Gil Evans to modal jazz to electric Miles. Certainly, back in the day, many a listener knew not where ...
Atomic: Lucidity
by Troy Collins
Living up to their name in performance and on record, the all-star Norwegian quintet Atomic challenges preconceived notions regarding the stereotypically introspective nature of Nordic jazz.

Atomic al Carambolage, Bolzano
by Giuseppe Segala
Piccolo Teatro Carambolage Bolzano 14.04.2014 Quando si pensa alla scena scandinava, l'associazione mentale va subito a musicisti che percorrono le strade delle atmosfere soffici, levigate, spesso con melodie evocative, dalle tinte sfumate e leggere. Spesso poco stimolanti. Oppure ci si riferisce alla ricca scena degli esploratori elettronici, che specialmente in Norvegia annovera ...
