Orrin Keepnews' Riverside Joins The Remaster Party
by Chris May
Everyone's doing it--producing 24 bit remasters of landmark albums from the 1950s and 1960s and repackaging them with newly written background essays, archive photos and, where they exist, alternate takes--most notably Blue Note and Prestige, with remasters by the albums' original studio engineer Rudy Van Gelder. And now, not before time, the era's third great independent ...
Clean Feed Records: Radical Revelations Continue
by Mark Corroto
It was a revelation when Portugal's Clean Feed label began producing new and exciting music at the turn of this century. There seems to be no let up to their activities and recent additions to the catalog are to be celebrated. Ethan Winogrand Tangled Tango Clean Feed ...
Tra il buio e la luce
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un recente viaggio a Salvador de Bahia è stato illuminante più di mille trattati di filosofia per comprendere come tutto succede fra il bianco e il nero. Fra il bianco del giorno e il nero della notte. Tra il buio della ragione e la luce della passione, o viceversa. E allora ascoltiamo queste musiche che lottano ...
L'arte dei suoni del Sonic Arts Network - Junko Wada: Music Dances itself / Stewart Lee: The Topography of Chance
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sonic Arts Network è un network inglese che ha come scopo principale quello di esplorare l’indefinibile mondo che fonde arte e suono che è la “sound art”, o arte del suono. Sonic Arts Network è ormai una realtà riconosciuta a livello internazionale grazie ai suoi numerosi progetti e alle commissioni promosse a partire dagli anni Novanta ...
Play Tchaikoskhy / Play Bach / Christmas
by AAJ Italy Staff
Gli elementi c'erano tutti: due icone del jazz moderno (il pianista Kenny Barron e il contrabbassista Ron Carter), affiancati da due giovani ma affermati protagonisti della scena contemporanea (il vibrafonista Stefon Harris e il batterista Lewis Nash); l'esempio autorevole di una storica, analoga formazione (il Modern Jazz Quartet); la musica straordinaria da cui prendere spunto (Tchaikoskhy ...
Le sublimi frequenze di Radio Mondo
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ovvero come scoprire le musiche di tante culture senza la maschera ipocrita della world music. Uno dei gruppi più originali e straordinari sulla scena contemporanea è certamente stato quello dei Sun City Girls, trio [è da poco mancato il batterista Charles Gocher e questo ha posto la parola fine alle avventure della band] guidato dai fratelli ...
Rudy Van Genius: New Blue Note RVG Reissues
by C. Andrew Hovan
Blue Note's series of reissues remastered by the legendary recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder continues to come hot and heavy, although how they choose which titles to include is something of a puzzle. Some of the albums have been done to death already, while on rarer occasions we get something that has until now evaded rediscovery ...
Billie Holiday: God Bless The Child: The Very Best Of Billie Holiday & Masters of Jazz
by Suzanne Lorge
Billie Holiday began singing professionally in the early 1930s and toured and recorded until her death in 1959. Her only hiatus from performing came during a 10-month stay at the Federal Woman's Reformatory in Alederton, West Virginia for drug possession in 1947. Her story reveals the symbiosis between personal pain and early jazz, and that story ...
Joe McPhee: Collaborator
by Robert Iannapollo
From the beginning, multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee has had a tendency to go against the grain and more often than not, has recorded in non-standard jazz group formations. It's clear that he must view this as one essential way of continually reinvigorating his art. Additionally, he has always seemed game for new and unexpected musical partnerships. These ...
Trombone Duos: Jiggs Whigham/Wolfgang Kohler & Roswell Rudd/Mark Dresser
by Ken Dryden
The trombone has entered a new era where it no longer has to be featured exclusively in a big band or a small group with a complete rhythm section. Virtuoso trombonists are perfectly happy with a single musical partner, as heard on these two outstanding, but very contrasting CDs. Jiggs Whigham & Wolfgang ...
