Ye Olde 2: Ye Olde 2: At the End of Time
by Glenn Astarita
Ten years after the first Ye Olde (Yestereve Records, 2015) was framed around a fantasy quest into a riotous Brooklyn guitar summit, trombonist extraordinaire Jacob Garchik returns with Ye Olde 2: At the End of Time, a 48-minute sci-fi prog jazz odyssey stretching from the heat death of the universe to the resurrection of consciousness itself. ...
Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far
by John Sharpe
Vibraphonist Patricia Brennan continues to redefine her creative horizons on Of The Near And Far, a fourth leadership date that expands her sonic blueprint without tempering the imagination that has marked her rise. Each of its predecessors has been completely different, from the horn-rich Breaking Stretch (Pyroclastic, 2024), to the percussion-centered More Touch (Pyroclastic, 2022), to ...
Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far
by Angelo Leonardi
In un paio d'anni, Patricia Brennan è balzata ai vertici del jazz più innovativo. Se già il magistrale e pluripremiato Breaking Stretch (Pyroclastic Records, 2024) era un salto avanti rispetto ai precedenti More Touch (Pyroclastic Records, 2022) e Maquishti, stavolta la vibrafonista d'origine messicana presenta un'opera ancor più sorprendente, cambiando organico in un'esplorazione ambiziosa e audace. ...
Henry Threadgill: Listen Ship
by Giuseppe Segala
As in other recent works, on Listen Ship Henry Threadgill appears solely as composer and conductor. No surprise there: his works vividly showcase a quest for a personal compositional dimension, one that reflects his drive for authenticity while engaging in dialogue, proposing a possible intersection between Black American musical traditions and other musical realms. This is ...
Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far
by Mike Jurkovic
Peerless, vibe-savvy vibraphonist Patricia Brennan minces no fools from the get go, launching Of The Near And Far with the kick-ass lead single (singles? They still make singles? In this day? In this age?) “Antilla." A new jazz standard by any stretch of the imagination, “Antilla" is a sleek, hypnotic beauty that gears you into the ...
Gregg Belisle-Chi: Slow Crawl: Performing the Music of Tim Berne
by Mark Corroto
Guitarist Gregg Belisle-Chi's story mirrors that of saxophonist Tim Berne, which makes Slow Crawl all the more compelling. Berne's own musical journey began when he was so moved by Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. (Mbari, 1972) that he relocated to New York to study directly with the master. Decades later, Belisle-Chi had a similar experience in Seattle ...
Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far
by Troy Dostert
Not one to rest on her laurels, vibraphonist/marimbist Patricia Brennan has continued to challenge herself and her listeners with each stop in the studio. Her tireless dedication to her craft is undoubtedly one of the reasons for her meteoric rise in the creative jazz community, which could be charted particularly after 2021 when she released her ...
Henry Threadgill: Listen Ship
by Giuseppe Segala
Come in altri suoi lavori recenti, anche su Listen Ship Henry Threadgill compare unicamente in qualità di compositore e conduttore. Nessuna meraviglia: sappiamo che il musicista di Chicago è tra i grandi compositori della contemporaneità. È evidente e ricchissima, nelle sue opere, la ricerca di una dimensione compositiva personale, che ne rispecchi l'impulso di autenticità e ...
Dan Weiss Quartet: Unclassified Affections
by Vincenzo Roggero
Quartetto di grande pregio quello assemblato dal batterista e compositore Dan Weiss, con alcuni dei musicisti più in vista della scena newyorchese quali il trombettista Peter Evans, la vibrafonista Patricia Brennan e il chitarrista Miles Okazaki, già frequentati per anni in diversi contesti. Le otto composizioni, tutte a firma del leader, sono state scritte con questa ...
Sylvie Courvoisier, Mary Halvorson: Bone Bells
by Vincenzo Roggero
Tra i massimi interpreti dei rispettivi strumenti, Sylvie Courvoisier e Mary Halvorson sono le punte di diamante di due generazioni che si incontrano sul terreno comune dell'improvvisazione, del minimalismo sonoro, del prevalere delle idee sulle esibizionismo celebrativo. A partire dalla confezione dell'album, privo di note di copertina, ma arricchito da una grafica (opera ...
