Mary Halvorson: Paimon: Book of Angels Volume 32
by Don Phipps
Paimon: Book of Angels Volume 32 offers up the final installment in prolific composer John Zorn's 32-album sojourn (titled Book of Angels). It is an exciting and fitting capstone. From the start, the music dances its way through contrasts of exciting, mysterious, probing, exotic, and shifting musical folk-jazz idioms, improvisations and compositions. The Mary ...

by Troy Collins
Considering the quantity of recordings released in a year's time, attempting to compile a comprehensive end of the year list mentioning every first-rate session would be difficult at best. The ten titles listed below represent a fertile cross-section of some of the most compelling modern jazz heard in 2017. William Parker Quartets
The Out Louds: The Out Louds
by Don Phipps
The Out Louds want you to know -it's not about compositions -it's about collective improvisation based on evolving musical themes. Go where the feeling takes you. Listen and add your voice. Branch out and come back. Go under water. Crawl through dark tunnels. Run along city boulevards. Crash in one's own room, quiet in the darkness ...

by Don Phipps
Is this music from another world? Dense, complex, innovative, and chock full of improvisation, Elliott Sharp's Err Guitar seeks to establish a whole new vocabulary for the instrument.

Brian Charette: Kurrent
by Friedrich Kunzmann
The density of new releases and their voluminous level of innovation and experimentation in the current New York jazz scene is somewhat remarkable.

Leading ...

Luciano Linzi - Direttore artistico di JazzMI
by Paolo Peviani
Milano ha sempre ospitato numerose iniziative e rassegne in ambito jazzistico. Più o meno strutturate, più o meno significative. Per molti anni, tuttavia, alla città è mancato un vero e proprio festival. Una lacuna non da poco per una città di grandi ambizioni, che ama confrontarsi e competere con le principali capitali europee. ...
Mauro Bardusco - Direttore Artistico di Jazz & Wine Of Peace Festival
by Neri Pollastri
Il festival Jazz & Wine of Peace di Cormòns, in provincia di Gorizia, è una delle rassegne nazionali di maggior successo, cresciuto negli ultimi anni a dismisura certo anche grazie all'unione degli spettacoli con il vino -Cormòns si trova nel Collio Friulano, ove si producono alcuni dei migliori bianchi d'Italia -ma in primo luogo in virtù ...
