Avvistamenti coltraniani
by Alberto Bazzurro
Se ci fosse bisogno di soppesare una volta di più quanto la memoria, le stimmate di John Coltrane siano ancora terribilmente di attualità ad ormai quasi mezzo secolo dalla sua comparsa, basterebbe mettere nel lettore questi cinque CD, incisi nel biennio che va dal giugno 2012 al giugno 2014 e messi sul mercato a seguire.
Strange Solo Sounds: SK Kakraba and Jonah Parzen-Johnson
by Jakob Baekgaard
Sounds are all around us. Some of them are so familiar that we barely recognize them. Music is a special kind of sound. It puts us in touch with the world or provides an escape from it. Sometimes, music is even able to conjure a world of sound that is hard to imagine. It can be ...
Three Shots from Siwula: Blaise Siwula & NoFrillsMusic
by Jakob Baekgaard
The emergence of free jazz in the 1950s and 1960s pioneered a new way of thinking about music that not only affected the way music sounded, but also the way it was shared and distributed. In many ways, free jazz was a movement away from mainstream and mass-distribution and the rediscovery of music as art, but ...
Another Timbre reaches its century in top form
by John Eyles
Another Timbre's three latest releases bring up a significant landmark in the label's brief history. Since the label released its first CD in the autumn of 2007, it has now put out over 100 discs—at a rate of more than one a month. Lest anyone wishes to point out that the latest release—the James Saunders disc, ...
Michael Gibbs and the NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Angelo Leonardi
Michael Gibbs è stato un protagonista del jazz britannico di fine anni sessanta/inizio settanta, ma il suo brillante esordio come orchestratore non ha avuto i riconoscimenti che meritava. Il suo primo disco Michael Gibbs e il successivo Tanglewood 63 sono opere ricche d'immaginazione, che seguono di poco le sperimentazioni elettriche di Don Ellis e anticipano di ...
Ruthie Foster: Singing The Blues
by James Nadal
Since releasing her first solo record less than a decade ago, Ruthie Foster has steadily gained momentum and respect within the music industry as a double threat singer/guitarist. With eight more albums in her discography, including the critically acclaimed The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster (Blue Corn Music, 2007), she has risen to prominence in the Blues community, ...
A New Danish Bassist on Top: Introducing Morten Haxholm
by Jakob Baekgaard
There is little doubt that Denmark has a proud tradition of fostering exceptional bassists -just think of names like Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Jesper Lundgaard, Bo Stief, Jesper Bodilsen and, more recently, Anders Christensen, Jonas Westergaard and Richard Andersson. Add Morten Haxholm to this ever growing list. Haxholm has been ambitious from the start. ...
Antonio Sanchez: Three Times Three & The Meridian Suite
by Doug Collette
With his two simultaneously released albums, Three Times Three and The Meridian Suite, Antonio Sanchez posits himself as the next great drummer who's a great bandleader. Alternately emphasizing his composing skills and his musicianship, as he did on his acclaimed score to the film Birdman, this native of Mexico City never overtly draws attention to himself, ...
Francesca Han: Dream Episodes, Blue Suns, Icarus
by Ian Patterson
A new Francesca Han recording is something to get excited about. The pianist's spirited trio/quartet outing Illusion (Audioguy Records, 2012) and the bewitching solo effort Ascetic (Audioguy Records, 2012)—one of the finest solo piano jazz albums of recent years—were outstanding examples of her skills as a composer, bandleader and improviser. Now, in a relatively short space ...
Sonorama: New Treasures from the Past
by Jakob Baekgaard
To find a forgotten record is often part of the pleasure and path of the dedicated record collector. Looking for the right record becomes a journey where flea markets and other strange places are examined, but it is also about having the right connections. Ekkehart Fleischhammer is not only an expert in finding the recorded treasures ...
