Silvia Bolognesi: Chicago Sessions

Read "Chicago Sessions" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

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

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

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

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 ...

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

Read "A New Kind of Dance" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

As a drummer, promoter and composer Mike Reed is a standard bearer for Chicago's creative music scene. His club Constellation is a hot bed for improvisation and innovation that often defy narrow genre-isms. His unique musicianship, meanwhile, is on display on his many recordings particularly ones with his groups; People, Places and Things and Loose Assembly. ...

William Parker: For Those Who Are, Still

Read "For Those Who Are, Still" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

William Parker non cessa di produrre in modo copioso, travolgente, straripante. Spinto da energia creativa e da onnivora attenzione agli stimoli musicali provenienti da culture e approcci diversi. I tre CD che compongono questo denso cofanetto presentano alcuni lavori registrati dal 2000 al 2013. La sfida è soprattutto sul piano compositivo: “For Fannie Lou Hamer," per ...
