Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You've Been Watching Me

Read "You've Been Watching Me" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Snakeoil di Tim Berne è sicuramente formazione che farebbe fare l'en plein in un “Blindfold test," procedura ideata dal critico musicale Leonard Feather attraverso la quale il musicista in questione viene sottoposto all'ascolto di un disco, con lo scopo di individuarne il titolare ed esprimere una valutazione. Troppo riconoscibile l'impianto sonoro, troppo solide le coordinate stilistiche ...

La persistente attualità di Tim Berne

Read "La persistente attualità di Tim Berne" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Negli ultimi tempi sembra che Tim Berne, sessant'anni compiuti il 16 ottobre 2014, stia vivendo una seconda giovinezza e una grande maturità creativa, che lo hanno portato anche a collaborare con vari gruppi di musicisti emergenti che si potrebbero idealmente considerare suoi allievi.

Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You’ve Been Watching Me

Read "You’ve Been Watching Me" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

Berne's tenure with ECM, however, has been marked by a more pronounced move toward balancing ...

Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You've Been Watching Me

Read "You've Been Watching Me" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The music of saxophonist Tim Berne has invariably raised the question: where have you been? His early self-released sessions (collected in the Empire Box (Screwgun, 1999)) from the late-1970s and early 80s gave no quarter to the neo-conservative jazz movement. Signed by Columbia Records (what were they thinking?) he forged ahead with his incendiary vision, only ...

Rudresh Mahanthappa: Bird Calls

Read "Bird Calls" reviewed by Dave Wayne


On Bird Calls, alto saxophonist and composer Rudresh Mahanthappa takes on the music of Charlie Parker in a personal and profound way, accompanied by his whip-smart, uber-hip and youthful backing band. Let's face it, folks; this is the sort of thing a jazz fan's daydreams are made of. The result doesn't disappoint; Bird Calls is a ...
