Keefe Jackson, Jason Adasiewicz: Rows and Rows

Read "Rows and Rows" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Nella ricca cartografia musicale che alimenta la scena odierna di Chicago, quella successiva alla topica esperienza della AACM e ben descritta da James Falzone nelle note a questo CD, Keefe Jackson e Jason Adasiewicz rappresentano due personalità di rilievo, riscontrabili in molte realizzazioni e collaborazioni. Il sassofonista e clarinettista si è trasferito nella città ...

Jason Roebke Octet: Cinema Spiral

Read "Cinema Spiral" reviewed by Mark Corroto


If entropy is a scientific theory that describes how all things in nature tend towards a gradual decline and disorder, then Jason Roebke's Octet is the anti-entropy. His second octet release Cinema Spiral and the previous High/Red/Center (Delmark, 2014) make order out of the impression of chaos. Such is the enticement of jazz.

Greg Ward & 10 Tongues: Touch My Beloved's Thought

Read "Touch My Beloved's Thought" reviewed by Vic Albani


Tanti ma tanti anni fa, di passaggio da quelle parti per un giro chicagoano, mi domandai cosa cavolo potesse lasciare ai posteri un posto come Peoria (capitale dell'omonima contea) a parte un celebre discorso di Abramo Lincoln del 1864 sulla schiavitù e i diritti del popolo nero, l'aver dato i natali a un paio di discreti ...

Greg Ward & 10 Tongues: Touch My Beloved's Thought

Read "Touch My Beloved's Thought" reviewed by Mark Corroto


To describe saxophonist Greg Ward's Touch My Beloved's Thought as his magnum opus is to impede his development as a composer. Let's just say for many a jazz artist, if this recording were included in their discography, it would be their signature piece. For Ward, it just represents the possibilities. The backstory to this ...

Silvia Bolognesi: Chicago Sessions

Read "Chicago Sessions" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Quello di Silvia Bolognesi con Chicago è un rapporto privilegiato, fatto di viaggi, di storia e di miti musicali, di stimolanti frequentazioni concretizzatesi discograficamente nel trio tutto al femminile completato dalla violinista Mazz Swift e dalla violoncellista Tomeka Reid per l'ottimo Hear in Now edito nel 2012. Ritroviamo la violoncellista in questo Chicago Sessions insieme a ...

Mike Reed's People, Places and Things: A New Kind of Dance

Read "A New Kind of Dance" reviewed by Vic Albani


Il signor Mike Reed di Chicago continua a piacerci un sacco. Quello che ha in testa è “buono e bello." Forse la giusta componente genetica, forse l'aria chicagoana e il suo creativo carico di storia, forse la vera necessità di cercare e trovare innovazione, forse l'immaginifica predisposizione all'esplorazione. Mettetela come volete, fatto sta che l'intelligenza di ...

Mike Reed's People, Places and Things: A New Kind of Dance

Read "A New Kind of Dance" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


You can always count on drummer, bandleader Mike Reed to jar your neural network on a per-album basis. Indeed, he's a propulsive force; an acute progressive jazz visionary, and a luminary in Chicago's forward-moving improvisational dynamic, while also hosting and promoting jazz/improvisation festivals in the Windy City. Otherwise, his People Places & Things unit strikes again ...

Jeff Dayton-Johnson's 2015 Mixtape

Read "Jeff Dayton-Johnson's 2015 Mixtape" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


The narrator of Jean-Jacques Schuhl's 2002 novel Ingrid Caven muses, “I like the connection, the splice, not the things themselves; what's between them, their rapport. Two ideas, images, the bridge between two harmonies for the jazz musician..." It's an interesting esthetic statement regarding jazz: that part of the music's appeal lies not in its components, but ...

Rob Mazurek and Black Cube Sp al Torrione di Ferrara

Read "Rob Mazurek and Black Cube Sp al Torrione di Ferrara" reviewed by Luca Canini


Bologna Jazz Festival Torrione Jazz Club Ferrara 20.11.2015 Fissiamo una data: gennaio 2007. Non che Rob Mazurek fino ad allora si fosse risparmiato in quanto a dischi e collaborazioni (soprattutto sul fronte Chicago Underground), ma è innegabile che il debutto su Thrill Jockey dell'Exploding Star Orchestra, We Are ...
