I 10 CD nel Cd-player di... Maurizio Brunod

Ananda Gari: T-Duality
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il trentenne batterista pugliese Ananda Gari (nome di origine indù) riunisce un quartetto coi controfiocchi e confeziona un album senz'altro degno di attenzione. Con un Tim Berne e lo stesso Michael Formanek, si dirà, è più o meno un gioco da ragazzi. Probabilmente sì, e tuttavia intanto bisogna convincere gente di questo calibro--oltretutto avvezza a suonare ...

Mary Halvorson, Michael Formanek, Tomas Fujiwara: Thumbscrew
by Enrico Bettinello
È un trio intrigante, quello composto da Mary Halvorson alla chitarra, Michael Formanek al contrabbasso e Tomas Fujiwara alla batteria. Organismo collettivo, mette in contatto musicalità molto forti già individualmente e in grado di condividere processi di improvvisazione sempre mobili. Forme aperte che però mantengono sempre una forte coerenza interna, inerpicandosi a volte ...
Anthony Pirog: Palo Colorado Dream
by Jeffrey Uhrich
Guitarist Anthony Pirog fearlessly pushes boundaries with his provocative debut album, Palo Colorado Dream. Pirog's unabashed and inventive use of effects and loops, in combination with his dazzling knowledge of the various sounds his guitar is capable of creating, draws the listener into his own unique and expressive musical world. Palo Colorado Dream is not for ...

Save the Date - Maggio 2014
by Luca Canini
Maggio, tempo di festival. L'estate si avvicina e nel Bel Paese è tutto uno sbocciare di rassegne. I mega eventi da piazza piena e sudata, i soliti programmi fotocopiati, le inutili poltiglie che tanto piacciono agli assessori e le proposte che invece piacciono a noi di All About Jazz. Non tantissime, a dire il vero. Siamo ...
Jazz Appreciation Month 2014 in Philadelphia: A Recap
by Jason Fifield
This April was a month of truly spectacular music on all fronts in Philadelphia. I know I missed a whole lot (see Philadelphia Jazz Project and Ars Nova Workshop) but here's my take. I kicked off the month with my trio Mischa Machez at our monthly First Friday Happy Hour at the Dog and ...

Elias Stemeseder / Devin Gray / Anna Webber: Jagged Spheres
by Mark Corroto
The collective trio of Elias Stemeseder, Devin Gray, and Anna Webber ask you to separate the composed elements from the improvised on their debut release Jagged Spheres. The three soon-to-breakout players opt for a musical salmagundi here, filling their plates with minimalist improvisation, noisy thrashings, and organically grown interactions in this chamber jazz presentation.
