Three New Releases from Peter Kuhn

Read "Three New Releases from Peter Kuhn" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

Clarinetist Peter Kuhn came up in the 1970s. In those days, one could count the number of modern jazz clarinet specialists on one hand: John Carter, Perry Robinson, Theo Jorgensmann, Alvin Batiste and—if you include the bass clarinet—Michel Pilz. So, one hand and a finger. Still associated with Benny Goodman, Dixieland and Swing, the clarinet was ...

U.S. Jazz From Denmark: Six Recent SteepleChase Releases

Read "U.S. Jazz From Denmark: Six Recent SteepleChase Releases" reviewed by David A. Orthmann

by David A. Orthmann

The opportunity to listen to six recently released discs on the venerable SteepleChase label (and the SteepleChase LookOut branch) is a little like reading an anthology of short stories by distinguished authors from a particular year or period. You get a hearty helping of vital, mature voices, most of whom operate somewhere in the jazz mainstream, ...

Innovatori della fisarmonica alle prese con la tradizione

Read "Innovatori della fisarmonica alle prese con la tradizione" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

Un nuovo disco a testa per due dei nostri migliori fisarmonicisti -Simone Zanchini e Luciano Biondini -entrambi noti per non attardarsi sulla tradizione, né dello strumento, né del repertorio nazionale. Sorprende perciò trovarli in questo caso entrambi impegnati su materiali che, in prima approssimazione, verrebbe da considerare (in senso non nobile) “da esportazione": il liscio di ...

Poetry & Jazz: Heroes Are Gangleaders / Clark Coolidge-Thurston Moore-Anne Waldman

Read "Poetry & Jazz: Heroes Are Gangleaders / Clark Coolidge-Thurston Moore-Anne Waldman" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

La relazione tra jazz e poesia ha avuto il suo apice negli anni cinquanta, quando gli scrittori beat legarono i loro testi all'estetica be-bop, s'è rinnovata nel decennio successivo e da allora non ha smesso di manifestarsi, anche se in forme sotterranee. Questi due album sono l'ultimo esempio di ciò che accade negli Sati ...

Read "Insalata d'ance dal duo al quartetto: Gebhard Ullmann e dintorni" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

La partenza di questa nostra odierna circumnavigazione, che di primo acchito potrà anche apparire stravagante ma le cui motivazioni confidiamo appariranno poi piuttosto chiare, ha un nome e un cognome: Gebhard Ullmann, notevole sassofonista e clarinettista tedesco di cui ci occupiamo sempre volentieri. Nella fattispecie, lo troviamo coinvolto in tre recenti album (in un caso come ...
