Fabian Dudek, Dan Weiss, Jasper Hoiby & Mazam

Read "Fabian Dudek, Dan Weiss, Jasper Hoiby & Mazam" reviewed by Maurice Hogue

by Maurice Hogue

German alto player Fabian Dudek's new This Every Place is an indication that Dudek's forming his own improvisational language, and his album is graced with the presence of Ingrid Laubrock. A definite must listen. There's a similar path followed by the Portuguese quartet, Mazam, on their new Pilgrimage Vol. 2. Drummer Dan Weiss' latest features a ...

Jon Irabagon: Server Farm

Read "Server Farm" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Artificial Intelligence would have a hard job pinning down saxophonist Jon Irabagon's defining characteristics. When a player is as talented as Irabagon, who can turn his hand to almost any style, sometimes the challenge is to find a focus that stimulates. On Server Farm, Irabagon has taken the notion of AI and the ever increasing prevalence ...

Jon Irabagon: Server Farm

Read "Server Farm" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Warning! Warning! Heads up! Spoiler alert! Server Farm has the potential to take your head to some random places. Some alarming (as all artists should be these days), Some cacophonous. Some claustrophobic. Others freeing, fleeting, fervent. Server Farm, saxophonist/composer Jon Irabagon's heatedly precise and prescient head-on clash with the threat of AI blisters the ...

I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

Read "I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu

Spesso molti articoli sulle “migliori uscite dell'anno" iniziano con una premessa quasi apologetica ("questi non sono necessariamente 'i migliori album dell'anno,' ma 'i miei preferiti';" “è tutto soggettivo;" “domani avrei scelto titoli diversi;" “ho potuto selezionare solo dieci album," ecc.)? Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...

Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024

Read "Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu

Have you noticed how many “best of the year" listicles start with an apologetic preamble ("these are not necessarily 'the best albums of the year' but 'my favorites';" “it's all subjective;" “tomorrow I might have chosen different titles;" “I could only select ten albums" etc.)? Those disclaimers channel the writer's discomfort of having to summarize a ...
