Ray Anderson
by Martin Longley
The trombonist Ray Anderson inhabits two simultaneous worlds. He's dedicated to exploring new vocabularies at the furthest reaches of what folks call jazz music, making his initial mark with fellow Chicagoan Anthony Braxton in the late '70s. He's also deeply attuned to the New Orleans roots of the music, reveling in the very vocal nature of ...
Mark Dresser / Ed Harkins / Steven Schick: House of Mirrors
by Stuart Broomer

Eventually what began long-distance between the Brooklyn-based Dresser and the Californian Harkins became a regular interaction in 2004 when ...

Tiziano Tononi & Geo(metric)s: Strange Mathematics
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il Geo(metric)s di Tiziano Tononi è una formazione a geometria (leggermente) variabile: ha debuttato nel marzo 2000 come duo tra il batterista/percussionista milanese e il pianista Alberto Tacchini per le musiche del progetto audiovisivo (poi registrato su disco) La magia della luce. Negli anni seguenti s'è ampliato alla contrabbassista Silvia Bolognesi, in un ruolo che viene ...
Mark Dresser - Ed Harkins - Steven Schick: House of Mirrors
by AAJ Italy Staff
Pensato inizialmente come un duo tra Mark Dresser e Ed Harkins, il progetto House of Mirrors è stato poi realizzato in trio con l’aggiunta del percussionista Steven Schick. Scelta quanto mai vincente perché il frullare delle percussioni, le macchie timbriche, il pulviscolo ritmico di Schick tolgono la registrazione dalle secche di un jazz eccessivamente cameristico. Pur ...
Mark Dresser: Telematics
by AAJ Staff
By Mark Dresser My sense of 'community' radically changed in 1998 while I was on tour in Europe. During a break after a soundcheck, I checked my email to read the devastating communication that beloved saxophonist Thomas Chapin was being taken off of life support. At that moment I was mentally transported from the ...

Billy Fox: The Uncle Wiggly Suite
by AAJ Italy Staff
«It began with a dream» racconta il percussionista-compositore Billy Fox nelle note che accompagnano questo sorprendente esordio targato, ancora una volta, Clean Feed. Un sogno intravisto e catturato in quegli attimi senza tempo che separano il sonno dalla veglia, la coscienza dall’incoscienza. È in una zona non meglio precisata di quel confine assai labile che sono ...
