Harriet Tubman: Araminta
by Vic Albani
Se il buon giorno si vede dal mattino, il 2017 già dai suoi primi passi potrebbe evidenziarsi come la classica annata da ricordare. La musica in giro in questo periodo (specialmente laddove non si grida alla crisi ad ogni piè sospinto) sembra davvero valere più che la semplice menzione cronachistica. Dopo l'ultimo lavoro dei Kneebody (Anti-Hero), ...
Harriet Tubman and Wadada Leo Smith: Araminta
by Mark Corroto
Things are urgent now. Actually, they have been critical for some time, but you might have chosen to ignore them.

It was for many, a perfect storm of free-metal-jazz music. If ...

Elliott Sharp: Momentum Anomaly
by Vic Albani
Elliott Sharp. Uno dei nomi su cui, davvero, ci si sarebbe da scrivere parole su parole. Amato e odiato. Compreso e incompreso. In breve, un fiume inarrestabile di musica; una discografia monumentale. Torrenziale come i miliardi di note che diffonde nell'universo musicale d'avanguardia da metà degli anni Settanta. Decine e decine di progetti: ordine e disordine, ...

by Kurt Gottschalk
Henry Threadgill Harlem Stage Gate House Very Very Threadgill New York, NY September 27-28, 2014 Henry Threadgill isn't one to repeat himself.
