Zanussi 5: Live in Coimbra
by Vic Albani
Nato a Oslo nel 1977 ma con un papà che sicuramente norvegese non è (e che quasi sicuramente non ha nemmeno a che fare con il famoso marchio di costruttori di cucine italiche), l'energetico contrabbassista italo-norvegese ha avuto la buona idea di registrare i propri interventi live tenuti il 31 maggio e il 1° giugno 2013 ...
Merzbow/Mats Gustafsson/Balázs Pándi/Thurston Moore: Cuts of Guilt, Cuts Deeper
by Mark Corroto
The Cuts Quartet is a sort of assembled supergroup. But we are not talking Traveling Wilburys or Audioslave here. Groups where the sum is certainly less than the parts. No, the amalgam of Japanese noise artist Merzbow (aka Masami Akita), Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson (Fire! Orchestra, The Thing), American guitarist Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), and Hungarian ...
Merzbow / Pandi / Gustafsson Join Forces With Guitarist Thurston Moore For Mind-blowing Second Cuts Project On RareNoiseRecords
How did renowned Japanese noisemaker Merzbow (aka Masami Akita), Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi follow up their majorly intense statement made on their tumultuous debut album, Cuts, which was released in 2013? By adding another ingredient to the volatile mix, in the person of skronking guitar hero and Sonic Youth founder Thurston ...
Exhaustion / Kris Wanders: Exhaustion / Kris Wanders
by Mark Corroto
The marriage of punk rock to free jazz is a natural fit. Both art forms are DIY; punk a rejection of corporate rock-n-roll of the 1970s and free jazz, the stasis of jazz, some fifty years post-birth. Today, we find Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore playing with The Thing, Borbetomagus, The Ex and Ken Vandermark, John Zorn's ...
William Hooker & Liudas Mockūnas: Live at Vilnius Jazz Festival
by John Sharpe
Veteran drummer William Hooker continues to expand his varied discography on the No Business imprint, with the addition of Live At Vilnius Jazz Festival. Like Crossing Points (2011) with the late reedman Thomas Chapin, it's a meeting with a resourceful saxophonist -this time Liudas Mockūnas, a co-founder of the label. But unlike the former encounter, on ...
Dave Rempis: Zen Master
mc.jpg)
by Mark Corroto
The best application of philosophy to improvised music is the Chinese concept of “wu-wei." The best translation of this is “no trying." Many listeners have the false impression that it takes a sophisticated ear or at least years of listening to “get" improvised music. Actually, the opposite is true. The key is wu-wei or the art ...
Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit: Erta Ale
by Enrico Bettinello
Il batterista norvegese Paal Nilssen-Love è (giustamente) famoso per due cose. Per essere uno dei più straordinari strumentisti della sua generazione e per essere anche uno dei musicisti più attivi nel proporre -e documentare in modo quasi ossessivo-le tante facce della sua intensa attività di improvvisatore. Come molti colleghi, anche Nilssen-Love (che ...
