Platform 1: Takes Off
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ecco un CD bello e significativo che dimostra quanto nel documentare l'attualità jazzistica internazionale il catalogo Clean Feed conosca pochi rivali. Esso dimostra anche come alcune delle esperienze più rappresentative di oggi siano saldamente radicate nel free jazz storico.

Platform 1: Takes Off
by Glenn Astarita
The debut recording by Platform 1 comprises a multinational cast of progressive jazz musicians who easily knock it out of the park with blazing free-bop motifs, introspective sojourns, shuffling jazz-boogie vamps and celebratory interactions.

Nordic Connect: Spirals
by Troy Collins
Scandinavian jazz has enjoyed quite a renaissance over the past few decades, ranging from the cool Norwegian austerity of Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal's seminal 1970's recordings to the fiery Swedish expressionism of Magnus Broo and Mats Gustafsson's recent avant-garde excursions. Spirals, the sophomore effort of Nordic Connect, embraces both aesthetic dualities, serving as a pertinent ...
