Orrin Evans: Hot Irons In The Fire
by R.J. DeLuke
A pianist with great chops, great touch and an attack that fancies many influences from fierce swing to gospel, Orrin Evans is one of the outstanding creative musicians on the New York City scene. His work, no matter what the context--and he loves different contexts--is downright riveting at times. But for the 38-year-old who ...
The Bureau of Atomic Tourism: Spinning Jenny
by Karl Ackermann
The Bureau of Atomic Tourism (also known as BOAT) fittingly represents the image of Rat Records, given that the name is an acronym for “rare and treacherous." Spinning Jenny--the second outing for the group--is a challenge to both players and listeners with its mix of free improvisation, electronics, and avant-garde. Founded by drummer Teun Verbruggen, BOAT ...
I 10 Cd nel CD-Player di... Mary Halvorson
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Bill Orcutt--A History of Every One (Editions Mego--2013). Lo stile chitarristico di Bill Orcutt è folle, bluesy e assolutamente unico. Questo nuovo disco è sorprendente. 02. Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog--Your Turn (Northern Spy--2013). Ho atteso questo disco a lungo. Costruito perfettamente cattura l'energia e la temerarietà della band.
Principato di Monaco: i trent'anni del Festival Printemps des Arts
by Libero Farnè
Una grafica d'impronta pop-postmodern caratterizzava la copertina del catalogo del Festival Printemps des Arts: un logo dalla comunicativa perentoria e la sfrontata aggressività di colori contrastanti costituivano un'efficace traduzione visiva della sua filosofia. Nell'edizione del trentennale il direttore artistico Marc Monnet ha dato vita a un festival curioso e tentacolare, sempre alla caccia di nuove collaborazioni ...
