Ivo Perelman, leone ipertrofico
by Alberto Bazzurro
Ormai da qualche anno l'andazzo è questo: due uscite all'anno, tre album alla volta, e via andare. Ci riferiamo ovviamente alle infornate discografiche di cui si rende protagonista Ivo Perelman su etichetta Leo. Inflazione produttiva? A dir poco. Anche perché, di fatto, i dischi sono più o meno tutti uguali. Né potrebbe essere altrimenti, al di ...
The Core Trio with Matthew Shipp: The Core Trio With Matthew Shipp
by Dan Bilawsky
One trio. One guest. A single, forty-two minute, freely improvised piece. That's what you basically have here, but such a bare description doesn't do it justice. The Core Trio--a group that has yet to actually record as a stand-alone trio--has an interesting history that seems to always revolve around personnel twists. The group ...
Jeff Cosgrove: Alternating Current
by Budd Kopman
Alternating Current is a completely entrancing recording that captures three master players listening and responding in real time. Both Matthew Shipp and William Parker thrive in the completely improvised arena, which is why drummer Jeff Cosgrove wanted them for this project. A second reason might have been that neither musician had ever played a ...
Your Shipp Has Come In
by Mark Corroto
These two guest appearances demonstrate that pianist Matthew Shipp has become an elder statesman in the jazz world. How that happened can be boiled down to two simple elements. One: he has created a unique sound and language for improvised music and two: Shipp has become a doyen of cutting edge music making and opinion.
Jeff Cosgrove: Alternating Current
by John Sharpe
Drummer Jeff Cosgrove certainly knows how to draw attention to himself. For his third album the DC area-based drummer enlists the services of two avant jazz icons in pianist Matthew Shipp and bassist William Parker. Just what a coup this is can be gauged from the fact that Shipp's previous sideman dates have included the legendary ...
Practice, Do You? Part 1-3
by Dom Minasi
I began studying the guitar when I was seven years old. I hated my teacher and I didn't practice much, but when I changed teachers' and I went to Joe Geneli, I regained a love for the guitar that I first had when I was four years old when I first saw Roy Rogers sing and ...
Jeff Cosgrove: Alternating Current
by Ian Patterson
"Playing music is like doing heart surgery," bassist William Parker told interviewer Radhika Philiip in Being Here: Conversations on Creating Music (Radio.org, 2013). “Every time you hit a note, someone's life is on the line, and so you can't fool around." Serious intent and intense focus are the cornerstones of these playful dialogues between ...
Vision Festival 19 Has The Matthew Shipp Trio In The Thick Of It
In many ways, Saturday is a miniature of the entire guiding outlook and purpose of this annual love labor from Arts For Art. All elements, discussion, youth support, poetry and a well sequenced array of distinct and personal performance statements are present and the stalwart Matthew Shipp Trio speaks to the element of continuity. A FUTURE ...
Jeff Cosgrove: Alternating Current
by Harry S. Pariser
Drummer Jeff Cosgrove's new CD “Alternating Current" is an endeavor built around the composition “Victoria," by the late drummer Paul Motian. Motian first came to prominence in the mid-1950s in the piano trio of Bill Evans, and later led several groups. Motian played an important role in freeing jazz drummers from strict time-keeping duties. For this ...
Jeff Cosgrove: Alternating Current
by Angelo Leonardi
Questo splendido lavoro vede due protagonisti dell'avanguardia attuale (il pianista Matthew Shipp e il batterista Jeff Cosgrove) in libero confronto collettivo assieme al contrabbassista William Parker, concreta connessione con le rivoluzioni musicali degli anni sessanta. In particolare due eminenti figure di quella stagione si pongono come ideali riferenti per questa musica e sono i ...
