Stefan Pasborg: Free Moby Dick

Read "Free Moby Dick" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Soffi e colpi d'ancia che rompono il silenzio con circospezione, vibrazioni di corde elettriche che rimandano a scenari post-atomici, frullii di metallo tesi come nervi scoperti, la sensazione che qualcosa di apocalittico debba succedere da un momento all'altro. Ed infatti eccolo - il lettore segna due minuti e cinquantadue secondi - il portentoso riff di “Black ...

Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out to Lynch

Read "Out to Lynch" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Berlin-based, Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima continues to project his aural impressions of the world of movies. This time he focuses on the eccentric characters and locations from the films of David Lynch, following his abstractions of director Stanley Kubrick on Some Kubricks of Blood (TUM, 2009). Kalima is not attempting to re-score or rearrange the original ...

Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out To Lynch

Read "Out To Lynch" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima uses the cinema as a platform for riding a wave of abstract impressionism. As this album title intimates, the premise is based on eccentric film director David Lynch's body of work. The band pulls quite a few punches on a per-track basis, spanning cantankerous minimalism, free jazz, and levitating sub-themes amid some ...

Anders Jormin: Ad Lucem

Read "Ad Lucem" reviewed by John Kelman


It may be frustrating when an artist releases albums infrequently, but when quality trumps quantity all is forgiven. Swedish bassist Anders Jormin's discography as a leader remains small--just eleven records as a leader since his auspicious 1988 Dragon debut, Eight Pieces. Still, with a high profile résumé sporting fellow ECM label mates such as pianist Bobo ...

Mikko Innanen & Innkvisitio: Clustrophy

Read "Clustrophy" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


This is modern European jazz at its finest. Bold and inventive, smart and informative, ironic, funny but also sad and melancholic, the highly engaging Clustrophy addresses the rich jazz legacy on both sides of the Atlantic, without being bound to any specific style or genre. Finnish reed player Mikko Innanen has gained experience ...

Mikko Innanen & Innkvisitio: Clustrophy

Read "Clustrophy" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


When a band parlays different styles and moods into one defining experience, as saxophonist Mikko Innanen and Innavista do on Clustrophy, it would be easy for some of the music to slip down the hatch of inconsequence. The band, however, keeps this at bay with an avid sense of observation and release, letting structure stamp the ...

Mikko Innanen and Innkvisitio - Clustrophy (2011)

Mikko Innanen and Innkvisitio - Clustrophy (2011)

I know of at least two things people from Finland excel in: cell phones and forward-thinking jazz. The mostly-Finnish Scorch Trio springs to mind when it comes to jazz with an edge, and for the last ten years or so, multi-saxophonist Mikko Innanen belongs squarely in that conversation, too. Innanen is a musician who is heavily ...
