Il meglio del 2016 secondo Claudio Bonomi
by Claudio Bonomi
Una top ten ecumenica quella del 2016 che prende un po' da tutti i generi e da tutti i Paesi. Si decolla da casa nostra, dalle Marche per la precisione, con gli Agorà che tornano alla ribalta con un live avvincente e non scontato che vede l'Area Patrizio Fariselli alle tastiere elettriche, per atterrare in Indonesia ...

London Jazz Festival 2016
by Duncan Heining
The London Jazz Festival, now in its 24th year, straddles the capital--its noble aim, as ever, is the provision of musical succour for the diverse tastes that make up the larger British jazz audience. You want mainstream, you'll find it. Looking for fusion, then look no further. Free jazz, bebop, blues? Step this way. Postjazz? Postjazz? ...
Mike Westbrook: Paris
by Duncan Heining
Listen to any number of Mike Westbrook records and you might want to ask, “Why doesn't he take a solo?" Aside from the occasional piano cadenza, Westbrook seems to prefer to let his compositions do the talking, ably aided by trustworthy musical confederates. Westbrook celebrated his 80th birthday in March 2016 and Paris is ...

Savoldelli - Casarano - Bardoscia: The Great Jazz Gig In The Sky
by Roger Farbey
There have been many tribute albums to great rock records but perhaps fewer in a jazz idiom. Two notable ones were Mike Westbrook's Off Abbey Road and Sandy Brown's Hair At It's Hairiest. So this paean to one of the best selling albums of all time, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon is a welcome ...
Mike Westbrook & Company: A Bigger Show - Live
by Claudio Bonomi
Lo scorso marzo Mike Westbrook ha compiuto 80 anni, un traguardo festeggiato degnamente con un nuovo doppio album realizzato con la Uncommon Orchestra, ensemble di 21 elementi che include tre vocalist dell'eccezione: l'inseparabile moglie Kate, autrice anche dei testi dell'opera, e due vecchie conoscenze e collaboratori dei Westbrook, Billy Bottle e Martine Waltier. Era ...
John Surman: Morning Glory
by Roger Farbey
This is the first John Surman-authorised reissue of his seminal album released on the Island Records label in 1973 (ILPS9237) that acted as a signal delineation between what preceded it (a relatively conventional approach with an emphasis on blistering baritone saxophone outings) and what was to follow (the far more pastoral ECM years, albeit with the ...
Bob Downes Open Music: Blowin' With Bass
by Claudio Bonomi
Bob Downes, compositore e polistrumentista britannico, estrae dal proprio magic box un'altra chicca che farà fellce gli appassionati di jazz, o meglio, di British Jazz. Il movimento che, a partire della fine degli anni Sessanta, produsse un pimpante manipolo di musicisti-pionieri che ancora oggi calcano le scene internazionali come Evan Parker, John Surman, Keith Tippett, John ...
