Michael Attias: Spun Tree

by Glenn Astarita
Saxophonist Michael Attias seldom rests on his laurels. Always aligning with a superlative support structure, each of his solo outings offer a fluctuating refresher course on routes previously navigated. With nouveau ideologies in place, Attias' expansive cache of weaponry once again comes to the forefront. The band skirts between introspection, aggression, and fiercely driven free bop ...
Sean Conly / Michael Attias: Think Shadow

by Eyal Hareuveni
This is an intimate meeting between old friends. Bassist Sean Conlyand Michäel Attias who collaborated before on Conly's Re: Action (Clean Feed, 2012) and on Attias' recent Spun Tree (Clean Feed, 2012).

Positive Catastrophe: Dibrujo, Dibrujo, Dibrujo...

by Glenn Astarita
Creative juices must have been bouncing off the studio walls during the recording process of this band's sophomore album. The ten-piece unit includes several progressive-jazz notables, such as cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and saxophonists Matt Bauder and Michael Attias. The perspicacious group-centric focus enlivens a wild Latin Jazz jamboree, where rules are most certainly meant to ...

Michaël Attias: Twines of Colesion

by AAJ Italy Staff
Appena tornato dal festival di Saalfelden mi è capitato di riascoltare su Radio 3 un paio di brani da Saxophone Colossus di Sonny Rollins (1956) e poi di dover recensire per AAJ Staying on the Watch di Sonny Simmons (1966). L'imbattermi involontariamente nella rivoluzionaria vitalità di quei dischi mi ha fornito la riprova di alcune considerazioni ...
Edward Ratliff: Those Moments Before

by Troy Collins
The cover of Those Moments Before features a poster of Marlene Dietrich advertising Josef von Sternberg's 1931 film Dishonored. While this album--New York-based multi-instrumentalist Edward Ratliff's third as a leader--isn't a soundtrack like the earlier Barcelona in 48 Hours (Strudelmedia, 2004) was, this date unfolds with the same degree of wild eclecticism and globe-trotting impetuousness as ...
Michael Attias - Renku in Coimbra (Clean Feed)

New York-based saxophonist Michael Attias has a sound steeped in a somewhat unexpected amalgam of sources. He's obviously enamored of the free jazz canon and players like Jimmy Lyons and John Tchicai, but there's also a feathery, aerated inflection to his phrasing that obliquely recalls the Cool and West Coast schools of 50s jazz and specifically ...
