Michel Wintsch, Christian Weber, Christian Wolfarth: Thieves Left That Behind

by Neri Pollastri
May 10, 2016

Arriva al quarto album, questo trio svizzero dedito alla musica improvvisata, il primo per l'etichetta Veto dopo passaggi su Leo, Monotype e Hatology.

by Alberto Bazzurro
March 24, 2016

Teniamo d'occhio da un po' di anni lo svizzero (di Basilea, per l'esattezza) Marco von Orelli, e dobbiamo dire che ogni volta che incrociamo qualche sua nuova incisione (di ascoltarlo dalle nostre parti, malgrado la sostanziale vicinanza, non se ne parla) la conferma del suo talento è pronta e convincente. Quest'ultimo lavoro in ...

Michel Wintsch - Christian Weber - Christian Wolfarth: Willisau

by Glenn Astarita
January 14, 2014

Willisau follows up the Swiss trio's The Holistic Worlds Of (Monotype, 2012) and once again the artists are seemingly intent on routing one's imagination through multiple locations, while not embarking upon a utilitarian approach to the core jazz or avant- jazz piano trio concepts. In fact, the band proffers an antidote to the norm, which can ...
