Butch Lacy / Jesper Løvdal / Kresten Osgood / Mark Dresser: Being Playing

Read "Being Playing" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard


The reason why it is so important to musicians and listeners alike that records are released is that they are artistic statements, but also because they document the development of the musicians. Sometimes, when a musician releases very few records, the release of an album becomes an event and a rare chance to catch up with ...

2015: The Year in Jazz

Read "2015: The Year in Jazz" reviewed by Ken Franckling


The year 2015 was a curious blend of ups and downs, with glimmers of optimism offset by its losses. Venues opened to great fanfare, but others closed for a variety of reasons. UNESCO's International Jazz Day became firmly entrenched as the exclamation point on Jazz Appreciation Month activities in April. Daily arts journalism took a hit ...

Simon Nabatov / Mark Dresser: Projections

Read "Projections" reviewed by John Sharpe


Projections captures an improvised duo encounter between émigré Russian pianist Simon Nabatov and Californian bassist Mark Dresser. Although they first played together as part of German composer Klaus Konig's Orchestra in 1992, it's taken until now for their first head to head. Both are masters of their respective instruments, articulate, persuasive and responsive. They come together ...

Simon Nabatov, Mark Dresser: Projections

Read "Projections" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Ascoltare musicisti creativi come Simon Nabatov e Mark Dresser costituisce sempre un'esperienza foriera di sorprese. Nel concerto documentato in questo CD si intravede un intelligente gioco di contrappunti, con un libero respiro ritmico che svincola il duo da schemi rigidamente canonizzati. Nell'aperto intreccio a due voci, i colti arpeggi del pianoforte ben si combinano con le ...

Satoko Fujii Tobira: Yamiyo Ni Karasu

Read "Yamiyo Ni Karasu" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


If ever there were a restless musical spirit, it would be pianist, composer (and occasional accordionist) Satoko Fujii. The Japanese artist has issued more than sixty recordings in settings from solo to full orchestra and most everything in between. While she demonstrates virtuosic straight-ahead balladry on occasion, her preference has long leaned toward unorthodox improvisation. Fujii ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Golden State II

Read "Golden State II" reviewed by Stefano Merighi


Harris Eisenstadt si è inserito da tempo in quel significativo drappello di batteristi-compositori in grado di dire una parola nuova nel jazz acustico di oggi. Lo fa in diversi contesti e, accanto a gruppi quali Canada Day e September Trio, svetta ora questo Golden State, originalissimo organico che affianca alle percussioni del leader il fagotto di ...

Anthony Braxton Quartet: (Santa Cruz) 1991 1st Set

Read "(Santa Cruz) 1991 1st Set" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Decoding the music of Anthony Braxton might be a lifetime's mission. With his symbol system compositions and grand unification theories, even the trained ear admits to perplexity and a certain ignorance. Braxton has never stopped, nor slowed to explain himself to listeners. There are moments of insights though, in his performances. One can glean his approach ...
