Edward Ratliff: Those Moments Before
by Jerry D'Souza
Multi-instrumentalist Edward Ratliff brings a wide tapestry of sounds to Those Moments Before. His inspiration comes from Henry Threadgill, a funeral march, the tango, and Hong Kong movies, and he has assembled a stellar cast of musicians to help realize his ambitious canvas. The portrait he presents is a dynamic, moving one. Ratliff is ...
Michael Attias: Renku in Coimbra
by AAJ Italy Staff
La presenza di due brani targati Lee Konitz e Jimmy Lyons non è casuale. Del primo Michael Attias possiede l'eloquio dai toni astratti del secondo l'esuberanza controllata. Volendo completare il quadro dei riferimenti potremmo dire che nel contralto di Attias si ritrovano pure la morbidezza e la nonchalance di Wayne Marsh e la logica matematica di ...

Michael Attias: Renku In Coimbra
by Martin Longley
Within the realms of his Renku trio, the reed specialist Michaël Attias deliberately glides towards a contemplative space. His partners in sensitivity are bassist John Hébert and drummer Satoshi Takeishi. In this setting, Attias deliberately confines himself to the alto saxophone, although his sonic results are anything but self-shackled. Often, when Attias is playing around the ...
Paul Motian: On Broadway Vol. 5
by Mark F. Turner
An unorthodox timekeeper and masterful drummer, Paul Motian's momentum has not waned since working with Bill Evans in the 1950s, Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra and Keith Jarrett's American Quartet in the 1960s, and, more recently, younger artists including Jacob Sacks, Eivind Opsvik and Mat Maneri in Two Miles a Day (Loyal Label, 2007). Among Motian's ...
John Hebert: Byzantine Monkey
by AAJ Italy Staff
Si apre con il canto di una vecchia canzone tradizionale Cajun questo sorprendente disco a nome del bassista John Hebert [prezioso accompagnatore dell'ultimo Andrew Hill e perno del trio di Mary Halvorson] ed è al tempo stesso un atto propiziatorio - il musicista è originario della Louisiana - e una struggente dichiarazione di appartenenza poetica a ...

01. Jascha Horenstein conducting Das Lied Von der Erde (BBC). Mahler e Debussy sono stati compositori della mia adolescenza ma suonano tuttora attuali. Horenstein è un assoluto maestro del tempo, del respiro, del suono delle proporzioni. Un'esecuzione assai dinamica dall'inizio alla fine. Il tempo si ferma. La fine è un inizio, per sempre sospeso. 02. Bunky ...

by Jack Bowers
Bob Florence Limited Edition Legendary MAMA 2009 “Legendary" is a word that is often misused and shamelessly over-used, and in this case entirely appropriate. Even though composer / arranger / pianist Bob Florence is no longer with us, and wasn't in the studio when his Limited Edition recorded ...
