Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You've Been Watching Me
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
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. Dopo essere giunto a incidere per la ECM ha raggiunto un riconoscimento ancora ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You’ve Been Watching Me
by Karl Ackermann
In the course of his long and prolific career, alto saxophonist/composer Tim Berne has been more of a musical agitator than a mediator. While that's a positive characteristic of Berne's creative process, it is also a demanding one for all concerned. 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
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 ...

Che quintetto! Perché se è vero che la front-line affianca uno dei sassofonisti più influenti degli ultimi decenni -Greg Osby -ad uno dei suoi discepoli più interessanti -la contraltista olandese Tineke Postma -il trio ritmico che completa la formazione fa meraviglie. La complessa struttura delle composizioni -equamente divise tra i due leader -le linee intricate, la ...

Rudresh Mahanthappa: Bird Calls
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 ...
Anna Webber: Simple
by Dave Wayne
If things aren't just right, listening to complicated music can be like doing your taxes. There has to be chemistry, there has to be a narrative, and--even though you don't know what's coming next--the music's got to be on. The players have to be free to speak in a new language; often one divorced from the ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa: Bird Calls
by Dan Bilawsky
Charlie Parker has been deified, his methods have been codified, and his recordings have been analyzed ad infinitum. Six decades have passed since he left this realm, yet he remains the lodestar for a significant portion of the jazz community, from the aspiring to the elite, and his influence hasn't waned one bit. Given all of ...
