Two Great Composers From Decades Apart
by John Eyles
Although the Another Timbre label was originally set up in 2007 to release recordings of improvised music--its very first release was The Contest of Pleasures by John Butcher, Axel Dorner and Xavier Charles--it did not take long for it to be releasing recordings of modern compositions... The label's tenth release, Lost Daylight, was played by John ...

Collin Sherman: A Solitary Visionary in Jazz
by Robert Middleton
Collin Sherman is an outlier in the jazz world. He creates all his own music, plays every instrument, records everything himself, and rarely performs live.

Satoko Inoue: Presents Jo Kondo's Works For Piano 2015-2020
by Alberto Bazzurro
Inciso nei mesi di aprile e luglio 2022, questo album ci restituisce uno spaccato piuttosto significativo di una serie di recenti pagine per pianoforte, per lo più solitario, del compositore giapponese Jo Kondo, oggi settantasettenne, di cui è nota una sia pur fugace frequentazione di John Cage e Morton Feldman, pagine di cui è protagonista la ...
Joëlle Léandre: Lifetime Rebel
by Mark Corroto
Joëlle Léandre is the definition of a force of nature. She is unstoppable, unforgettable, and full of boundless energy. It is the nature of her force that recordings like Lifetime Rebel attempt to capture. These four CDs--plus an interview and solo performance DVD--capture a moment, but just a moment of her inexhaustible spirit, before she moves ...
Ill Considered: Precipice
by Chris May
The British pianist John Tilbury believes that some free-improv musicians play for too long without pausing for literal or metaphorical breath and, to make matters worse, do not listen hard enough to their bandmates. How right he is. Tilbury has not named names, but many AAJers could surely suggest some. Tilbury recommends that improvising musicians should ...
American Composers On Another Timbre
by John Eyles
When the batch of four Another Timbre releases came out in February 2024, one aspect was particularly noticeable; of the four, two albums featured composers who were born in the U.S.A. and still reside there, Nomi Epstein and Paul Paccione. Although the label honored deceased American composers John Cage and Morton Feldman with highly-praised box sets, ...
Satoko Inoue: Presents Jo Kondo's Works For Piano 2015-2020
by Chris May
Jo Kondo is a composer unto himself, but for ready reference he can be filed in the proximity of John Cage and Morton Feldman, both of whom he got to know in 1978 in New York while in the city on a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Satoko Inoue is a concert pianist specializing in modern ...
Morton Feldman: Violin and String Quartet
by John Eyles
With a running time of just over two hours, Morton Feldman's 1985 composition “Violin and String Quartet" is one of his longer ones, even though it falls far short of such pieces as 1984's “For Philip Guston" at four hours or 1983's “String Quartet (II)" at over six hours without a break. Their durations have made ...
