John Turville Trio: Midas
by Chris May
If the carefully composed, monochrome cover art of the John Turville Trio's debut album suggests the ECM label's house style, the coincidence is appropriate. Midas is high-end piano trio jazz, beautifully recorded (in Italy). It consists in the main of tunes written by pianist Turville, is shot through with muscular lyricism, and resonates with the work ...

Disassembler: What Is
by Chris May
It's a broad church, but British guitarist Trevor Warren's Disassembler comes out of the same genre mashing movement as bands like Acoustic Ladyland, Polar Bear, Led Bib and trioVD. Each has crafted an individual spin on jazz/rock/dance collision, from Acoustic Ladyland's seminal three-minute punk thrashes, extended by Led Bib and trioVD to include more collective and ...
Mark Lockheart: In Deep
by AAJ Italy Staff
Eccola ancora la Edition Records. con il suo carico di preziose registrazioni che stanno offrendo un significativo spaccato della scena improvvisativa inglese. Dopo i talenti giovanili (ne sentiremo parlare a lungo) a nome Dave Stapleton e Mattew Bourne celebrati con gli album Dismantling the Waterfall e Lost Something, tocca ad un veterano come il sassofonista Mark ...
Mark Lockheart: In Deep
by John Kelman
It's been four years since saxophonist Mark Lockheart's best-of-year Moving Air (Basho, 2005). Contrasting Moving Air's organic multi-tracking, In Deep goes for purer in-the-moment territory, with a traditional trumpet/sax/piano/bass/drums quintet that's anything but conventional. Lockheart's ability to evoke a multiplicity of images with his music has been a marker with groups including ...
Kairos 4tet: Kairos Moment
by Chris May
A luminous debut album from four young London musicians which, unexpectedly, affirms the eternal verities of acoustic jazz. Supple rhythms, strong melodies, inventive harmonies, flowing improvisation...it's all here and it bucks the trend. Since the adoption of Acoustic Ladyland by the mainstream media round about the release of the band's album Last Chance Disco (Babel, 2005), ...
Julian Arguelles: Momenta
by Chris May
Following fast on the delicately wrought solo album Inner Voices (Tone Of A Pitch, 2008), on which Julian Arguelles played a panoply of overdubbed saxophones, clarinets and flutes, here's a more extrovert outing from the lyrical and emotionally engaged British reed player. Momenta was made with the 16-piece Frankfurt Radio Bigband, and has the added bonus ...
Indie Label Beat
by Nick Catalano
I have a European colleague who writes about jazz and possesses a knowledge of labels and their history that is astounding. When we talk about past artists and their various contributions during different periods of their lives, I'm always surprised how often these discussions include considerable time spent on the labels involved. It is amazing how ...
