Angles 9: Injuries
by Vincenzo Roggero
Provengono dalla Scandinavia--terra ostica, lande sconfinate, natura selvaggia, ghiaccio incombente (basta un'occhiata alle foto di copertina...)--ma scaldano anima e cuore come poche, pochissime, formazioni sono attualmente in grado di fare. Loro, ca va sans dire, sono gli Angles, qui alla prima documentazione in versione “nine" intitolata Injuries, fissata ancora su Clean Feed e disponibile nel doppio ...
Angles 9: Injuries
by John Ephland
What's to love about this CD is the musicality that's thrown into the maelstrom of styles and attitudes. You've got a hint of early, experimental jazz from the mid-60s with the opening number, “European Boogie" (think Bobby Hutcherson with Eric Dolphy or Archie Shepp, the vibes being paramount); that's until they all start into a kind ...

by Florence Wetzel
Portugal is one of the most free-jazz friendly countries on the planet, and the innovative Clean Feed label is one of the reasons why. With over two hundred releases thus far, Clean Feed has been documenting the next wave(s) of avant-free music. This includes the mighty Trespass Trio, a powerhouse group of improvisers consisting of Swedish ...
Trespass Trio + Joe McPhee: Human Encore
by Glenn Astarita
Sweden-based Trespass Trio aligns with American improvising legend Joe McPhee for a live set, recorded 2012 at Salao Brazil. The artists' camaraderie, gamesmanship, and intuitive synergy become quite evident from the onset.

All Included: Reincarnation of a Free Bird
by Eyal Hareuveni
The title of All Included's debut refers to one of immortal compositions of bassist Charles Mingus, “Reincarnation of a Lovebird." Following Mingus' legacy, this Swedish-Norwegian quintet's music is based on the American, politically committed, fiery free jazz that originated in the sixties; still, it is unmistakably contemporary. All compositions are well-crafted, wisely arranged and performed passionately. ...
Martin Küchen / Keith Rowe / Seymour Wright: (No title)
by John Eyles
Curiously, this untitled CD is released as part of Another Timbre's Guitar Series. True, Keith Rowe has a long and distinguished career as an improvising guitarist, dating back to the mid 60's and before. But over recent years he has steadily reduced the role of the actual guitar and correspondingly increased the role of electronics to ...

Angles: Every Woman Is A Tree
by Mark Corroto
Good can triumph over evil. It's just that evil is just so well organized by the political parties, oil corporations, and media conglomerates that the voice of dissent is often overshadowed. Like Woody Guthrie or Charles Mingus utilizing music to protest the sins of their time, today, bubbling in between the cracks of popular culture is ...
