The Core: Office Essentials / Meditations On Coltrane / The Indian Core
by Eyal Hareuveni
The Core is one the most exciting jazz bands in Norway today. The group takes the legacy of saxophonist John Coltrane's classic quartet plus the 1960s' “new thing" innovations of fellow saxophonists Pharaoh Sanders and Archie Shepp, along with closer to home influences such as pianist Keith Jarrett's Scandinavian quartet of the 1970s--which featured Norwegians saxophonist ...
Elvin Jones: Youngblood / Tommy Flanagan: Thelonica / Attila Zoller: Common Cause
by AAJ Italy Staff
Elvin Jones YoungBlood Enja Records (rist. 2007 - distr. Egea) Valutazione: 2 stelle In questo disco del mitico batterista statunitense, tutto appare eccessivamente di maniera, all’insegna di un hardbop godibile ma senz’anima. Dispiace quindi constatare un impari e tutto sommato imbarazzante rapporto di forze tra il pulsare pungente del batterista e il compiaciuto ma esangue, informe ...
Jazz Engine Records
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nata come allegato alla rivista bimestrale Jazzit, la serie Jazz Engine Records si può dire rifletta di luce propria grazie alla qualità delle incisioni, alla freschezza delle proposte e ad un passaparola tra appassionati che l'ha trasformato in un apprezzato e atteso appuntamento discografico. Copertine dai colori vivaci e dalla grafica poco convenzionale, musica che abbraccia ...
Steve Swell: Swimming In A Galaxy Of Goodwill And Sorrow and Live @ The Vision Festival
by John Sharpe
Trombonist Steve Swell was on a roll in midsummer 2006, as evidenced on the two discs at hand. June 15 found him in the studio with his Fire Into Music agglomeration, featuring saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc, drummer Hamid Drake and bassist William Parker.

Fresh Danish: People Are Machines, Vogel, Solar Plexus
by Anthony Shaw
Calibrated are a subsidiary of Cope Records, based in the Danish capital of Copenhagen. The smaller label concentrates on young, local jazz and fusion musicians beginning to make name for themselves in their own country and neighboring Nordic states. The exception to this specialization is Calibrated's inclusion of veteran local saxophonist Karsten Vogel. But Vogel has ...
Cultural Fusion: KCP 5, Billy Fox, Joachim Kuhn
by Ivana Ng
As composer/multi-instrumentalist Kali Z. Fasteau wrote in last months's issue of All About Jazz / New York, jazz can “embrace aspects of music from anywhere and everywhere, as can no other music on the planet, in a profound and high-quality synthesis." These three albums combine jazz with the musical traditions, musicians and instruments of ...
Evan Parker Octet: Crossing the River / Rudi Mahall: Solo / Peter Evans: More is More
by AAJ Italy Staff
Evan Paker Octet Crossing the River Psi (2006 - distr. JTD) Valutazione: 3,5 stelle Evan Parker continua infaticabilmente a documentare, con la sua etichetta, sia l’attività in proprio, sia quella delle nuove “leve" operanti nel campo dell’improvvisazione. In Crossing the River, il sassofonista guida l’ottetto a cui è attribuito il disco in questione soltanto in due ...
Samo Salamon: Fall Memories and Nano
by Jerry D'Souza
Guitarist Samo Salamon has found some interesting and distinctive ways to present his music. These include forming groups with different musicians and instrumentations, so as to give his compositions the particular flavours they require. Among these line-ups sit his European quartets, and true to his vision, both have different line-ups which allow Salamon to pursue different ...
Vai dove ti portano i bit…
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non è facile seguire l’elettronica per chi non lo faccia già da anni e non abbia già profonda dimestichezza con suoni e nomi che circolano. Ancor meno facile è dar conto di quanto succede in un’ambito che se ribolle, senza dubbio, di fermento e novità, vuoi artistiche e tecnologiche, purtroppo non sempre fa il pari con ...
