Giovanni Guidi: This Is the Day
by Libero Farnè
Dopo City of Broken Dreams, edito sempre dalla ECM all'inizio del 2013, ecco il secondo disco del trio di Giovanni Guidi. All'ascolto di This Is the Day, registrato nell'aprile 2014 da Stefano Amerio, uno dei tecnici oggi prediletti da Manfred Eicher e non solo, si ha la precisa sensazione di trovarsi di fronte ad un'operazione tipicamente ...
Secondo capitolo per il trio di Giovanni Guidi
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.
Eberhard Weber: Encore
by John Kelman
In a time when too many things that seem unfair create victims rather than heroes, the world needs more people like Eberhard Weber. Struck down with a major stroke in 2007, the renowned German bassist found himself without the strength required in his left hand to be able to play the custom-built, electric five-string double bass ...
Kenny Wheeler: Songs for Quintet
by Alberto Bazzurro
A pochi mesi dalla sua morte (18 settembre 2014), ecco l'ultima fatica discografica di Kenny Wheeler per l'etichetta di Manfred Eicher (il quale produce il CD, inciso agli Abbey Road Studios nel dicembre 2013, in coppia con Steve Lake) che ne ha accompagnato molte delle tappe discografiche più salienti. I brani recano tutti ...
David Virelles: Mbókò
by Luca Canini
Certo che ne ha di talento David Virelles. A quintali, a vagonate. Da affittare, vendere e persino subappaltare. Nell'ottobre del 2012, quando la Pi Recordings mise il timbro su Continuum, secondo disco del pianista di origini cubane, non furono in molti ad accorgersi che era nata una stella. Oggi, a due anni abbondanti ...
Vijay Iyer Trio: Break Stuff
by John Kelman
When it comes to jazz/improvised music, there are those who, like pianist Keith Jarrett, prefer to approach it with a blank slate, clearing their minds of everything in order to find a way to pull form from the ether. Then there are those who spend considerable time formulating their approach, and coming up with a philosophy, ...
Kenny Wheeler: Songs for Quintet
by John Kelman
With the passing of Kenneth Vincent John Wheeler--Kenny Wheeler to his legion of friends and fans--the world lost yet another significant figure in the history of jazz from the mid-'60s through to the second decade of the new millennium, the artist that Norma Winstone (more often than not his singer of choice) called “the Duke Ellington ...
Gallery: Gallery
by John Kelman
GalleyGalleryECM Records1982 Today's discovery is in my top 10 list of albums screaming for first-time issue on CD by Munich's venerable ECM Records. Gallery was a one-off, teaming vibraphonist Dave Samuels and Oregon's Paul McCandless with cellist David Darling, bassist Ratzo Harris and Michael Di Pasqua--a drummer who, with a resume ...
Terje Rypdal: If Mountains Could Sing
by John Kelman
Terje RypdalIf Mountains Could Sing ECM Records1995 Today's Rediscovery is If Mountains Could Sing, an album that stands out in Terje Rypdal's career for its marriage of his two seemingly (but clearly not necessarily) divergent paths: one, the rock-edged improvising guitarist; the other, the classical composer of contemporary music first inspired ...
Masqualero: Masqualero
by John Kelman
MasqualeroMasqualeroOdin1983 Despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, there are still those who think that Norwegian musicians can't play “real jazz" (whatever that is), and that what they do play is something consistently (and erroneously) categorized as “Nordic Cool." Submitted for your approval is today's Rediscovery: the self-titled debut from Masqualero, ...
