konstruKt and Joe McPhee: Babylon: The First Meeting of Istanbul
by Dave Wayne
Taken at face value, konstruKt's catchphrase, “Free Jazz from Turkey," seems a tad pedestrian. But, if one considers Turkey's place in the world-literally the crossing point between Asia and Europe-its crazy-quilt ethnic diversity, and its continued religious and political unrest, it's a fitting metaphor. Oddly, most of the band's recorded output features invited guest artists from ...

Alexander Hawkins: Song Singular

Konstruct rules the world
by Mark Corroto
KonstruKt with Marshall Allen, Barlas Tan Özemek, and Hüseyin Ertunç Vibrations Of The Day Holidays Records 2014 If you are old enough, you might remember when four lads from Liverpool conquered America with rock-and-roll, or how the Rolling Stones redefined the blues tradition. The American blues tradition, that is. Add ...
Sun Ra And His Arkestra: In The Orbit Of Ra
by AAJ Staff
Nell'anno del centenario della nascita di Sun Ra le iniziative sono state innumerevoli, ma mancava un vero e proprio “Greatest Hits," concetto che in sé sembra certamente piuttosto inadatto (e per certi versi anche antitetico) all'idea musicale dell'indimenticabile pianista e band leader di Saturno, Alabama, ma che risponde comunque a un'esigenza comprensibile. Il ...
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.

This quartet of saxophonist ...

Save the Date - Maggio 2014
by Luca Canini
Maggio, tempo di festival. L'estate si avvicina e nel Bel Paese è tutto uno sbocciare di rassegne. I mega eventi da piazza piena e sudata, i soliti programmi fotocopiati, le inutili poltiglie che tanto piacciono agli assessori e le proposte che invece piacciono a noi di All About Jazz. Non tantissime, a dire il vero. Siamo ...
