Gilbert Holmstrom New Quintet: Tiden Ar Kort!
by Vincenzo Roggero
Gilbert Holmstrom è una vera e propria leggenda della scena jazz svedese, il suo stile e la sua figura hanno influenzato molti musicisti delle generazioni successive tra cui Mats Gustafsson che ha il merito di aver contribuito alla ristampa di Waves from Albert Ayler , gran disco del 1975 licenziato con il trio denominato Mount Everest. ...
Save the Date - Giugno 2014
by Luca Canini
È stato un maggio entusiasmante. Il quartetto di Michael Formanek e l'Arkestra a Vicenza, l'omaggio a “Butch" Morris confezionato da Wayne Horvitz passato da Novara e Bologna, gli Overseas IV di Evind Opsvik a Correggio e Foligno, Andy Moor e Yannis Kyriakides visti a Forlì e Venezia: una meraviglia appresso all'altra per un mese di grande ...
Mats Gustafsson/dieb13/Martin Siewert: Fake The Facts: Soundtrack
by Mark Corroto
Stripped to its core, music is communication. It is the accompaniment to life's movie. The first fabulists, our cavemen ancestors probably invented music by imitating the sounds of nature, such as bird calls, wolf howls, and the patter of rain on the cave's entrance. The pleasure delivered by that experience caused several members of the cavemen's ...
The Young Mothers: A Mothers Work Is Never Done
by Mark Corroto
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten reminds us that jazz is the musical equivalent of a dark star, a musical black hole, absorbing all musical energy and classifications. The Norwegian-born bassist-turned Austin, TX resident assembled a multi-genre sextet under the uncategorizable name The Young Mothers. Sure, let's not call this jazz, because it would alienate 99% of fans. But ...
Jon Rune Strøm: Jøa
by Eyal Hareuveni
Norwegian double bassist Jon Rune Strøm's energetic and highly rhythmic playing approach on the bull fiddle, sets him apart from other young fellow Norwegian double bass players who explore the solo medium or the sonic capabilities of this massive instrument in intimate settings as Christian Meaas Svendsen, Adrian Myhr, or Inga Margrete Aas. The 29 year ...
Barry Guy New Orchestra: Amphi - Radio Rondo
by John Sharpe
One of the most noteworthy releases of 2013 was the Barry Guy New Orchestra's Mad Dogs (Not Two), a five disc compendium which collected largely freeform meetings between various subsets of the 11-piece company during their 2010 residency in Krakow. However even that copious set offered only a partial view of the Orchestra's range, a deficiency ...
Peter Brötzmann / Peeter Uuskyla: Dead And Useless
by Mark Corroto
Nothing new, just better. Let me rephrase that, Dead And Useless is not a new recording by saxophonist Peter Brötzmann and drummer Peeter Uuskyla, it was taken from the 2006 Born Broke (Atavistic, 2008) session and was the second disc of a 2-CD set. It is, though, remastered here as a loving vinyl release (somewhere Mats ...
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 ...
Save the Date - Marzo
by Luca Canini
Sito nuovo, nuova rubrica. Inauguriamo oggi uno spazio segnalazioni che diventerà un appuntamento mensile. Una sorta di breve guida al meglio del meglio di quel che offrono i palchi italiani e non, i concerti e i festival che a nostro giudizio (a nostro insindacabile e inoppugnabile giudizio) meritano di essere raccomandati. Nulla di ragionato o di ...
Ich Bin N!ntendo: Look
by Eyal Hareuveni
A year has passed since Norwegian punk-jazz trio Ich Bin N!ntendo released its debut release with Swedish sax titan Mats Gustafsson and fortunately little has changed in its uncompromising, raw approach. The worries that the Nintendo corporation might sue the trio evaporated and its members gathered experience in less tougher and noisier outfits--guitarist Christian Skår Winther ...
