Save the Date - Agosto 2014
by Luca Canini
L'agosto balneare dei festival italiani passa dalle isole e dalle spiagge. Mentre all'estero impazza il meglio del meglio (Lisbona, Saalfelden, Willisau, Mulhouse), nel Bel Paese tocca inseguire le orde di vacanzieri per intercettare i pochi eventi degni di segnalazione. Quelli che vanno a genio a noi di Save the Date, che nella lista dei consigli infiliamo ...
KonstruKt with Marshall Allen: Live At Sant’anna Aressi Jazz Festival
by Mark Corroto
I have seen the future of free jazz (to paraphrase rock critic Jon Landau) and it's name is KonstruKt. Born in Turkey, but cross-fertilized by a global phenomenon of visiting jazz bees: Peter Brotzmann, Joe McPhee, Evan Parker, and Marshall Allen who perform and pollinate the flowering creative music scene.

by Luca Canini
Maggio, tempo di festival. L'estate si avvicina e nel Bel Paese è tutto uno sbocciare di rassegne.

John Edwards Double Bass Man
by Sammy Stein
When John Edwards plays his double bass, he is extraordinarily engaging. He plucks, tweaks, bows, hits and hums aloud. So engrossed is he that it is difficult to look away. One memorable gig, I overheard a member of the audience say “ It's almost pornographic what he does with that bass." I ...
Free Nelson Mandoomjazz Debuts On Rarenoise With Double Ep, The Shape Of Doomjazz To Come / Saxophone Giganticus

konstruKt: Turkish Free Music
by Mark Corroto
When we think of the term “virus," we equate it with human disease or an infection, as in a computer virus. But consider the musical virus known as free jazz, or improvisation. Its origins can be traced back to a Louis Armstrong solo deviating from his brass band's arrangement. Quickly, his extemporizing blossomed into jazz music ...

by Eyal Hareuveni
This project is a labor of love. It began when guitarist Umut Çağlar, head of the Turkish avant-jazz label and musicians collective and band KonstruKt, found a new edition of a rare album documenting the musical meeting of American multi-instrumentalist Phil Musra with one of the forefathers of Turkish free jazz scene, drummer Hüseyin Ertunç (At ...
