Erik Friedlander: A Little Cello?
by Ian Patterson
Normally lumped into the 'miscellaneous instruments' category of jazz awards, the cello has been something of a bit player in the colorful history of jazz. That said, today there are arguably more cellists in jazz and contemporary improvised music--and some extraordinary ones at that--than ever before. One of the best known cellists is undoubtedly Erik Friedlander, ...
Leslie Pintchik: True North
by Luigi Sforza
Nella musica della pianista Leslie Pintchik non vi è alcuna traccia di rottura con la tradizione classica del jazz, tutt'altro. La presenza marcata di paradigmi noti privilegia l'interesse per un modello espressivo che nelle forme chiuse, siano esse blues o A-A-B-A ("Falling in Love Again"), trova il principio originario, la cornice all'interno della quale prendono corpo--sotto ...

Thomas Chapin: Never Let Me Go
by Giuseppe Segala
L'ascolto di questo cofanetto fa rinascere aspra l'amarezza per la scomparsa prematura, nel 1998 a soli quarant'anni, di Thomas Chapin. Una raccolta che contrasta l'oblio e aggiunge qualche motivo di stupore e riflessione all'esperienza di chi ha apprezzato la fulminea, ricchissima eppure troppo breve vicenda artistica di quel grande musicista, straripante di vitalità e umanità.
Brad Shepik / Ron Samworth: Quartet 1991
by Dan Bilawsky
Tony Reif is calling a mulligan here. Some twenty-five years ago, shortly before he founded and launched the Songlines imprint and long before he was known the world over for his work in the production and promotion of creative music, Reif went into a Seattle studio to produce a recording for a quartet fronted by guitarists ...
Krakauer's Ancestral Groove: Checkpoint
by Dan Bilawsky
Clarinetist David Krakauer has been exploring his Eastern European Jewish background through music for the past quarter century. He's managed to touch on his roots in varied ways during that time, tapping into Jewish history with some help from the Kronos Quartet on The Dreams And Prayers Of Isaac The Blind (Nonesuch, 1997), finding common ground ...
Leslie Pintchik: True North
by Dan Bilawsky
Leslie Pintchik's music has a magical draw to it. Perhaps it has to do with her pearly and softly pronounced piano work, at once circuitous and direct in the way it shapes and navigates expressive pathways. Or maybe it has to do with her compositional acumen. Her pieces, after all, have a way of registering and ...
Erik Friedlander: Oscalypso
by Troy Collins
As a veteran of the fertile 1990s Downtown NYC scene, cellist Erik Friedlander has been involved in myriad creative endeavors, including innovative sideman work with Dave Douglas and John Zorn, while leading his own unique ensembles, such as Chimera and Topaz. More recently, Friedlander has been performing solo and developing projects inspired by rural Americana, but ...
Erik Friedlander: Oscalypso
by Vincenzo Roggero
Quattro rappresentanti della storica scena downtown newyorchese si riuniscono negli studi East Side Sound di quella città e registrano un disco tributo all'Oscar Pettiford violoncellista. Nove brani mostrano senza veli l'eleganza, lo swing, il senso melodico, la precisione della scrittura di Pettiford, con il quartetto di Erik Friedlander che asseconda pienamente queste caratteristiche esaltandole e personalizzandole ...
