Latest Releases of Aural Terrains Label
by Eyal Hareuveni
The British label Aural Terrains continues to explore the extreme sonic terrains of electro-acoustic spontaneous improvisations, each different in its vivid atmosphere and suggestive sounds. The label's recent pair of releases feature two distinct outfits that present the arresting results of a careful, balanced mix of acoustics and electronics. Thanos Chrysakis / Ken ...
Christian McBride: People Music - Out Here
by Luigi Sforza
Di Christian McBride colpisce l'energia, la presa di coscienza dei propri mezzi espressivi e il modo in cui riesce a plasmare la scoppiettante materia sonora che suona, ovvero un miscuglio proficuo di post-bop e cantabile modern jazz. A due anni di distanza da The Good Feeling il contrabbassista afroamericano torna con due dischi, uno, ...
I cubi di Alban Darche
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il sassofonista e compositore di Nantes (dove ha fondato la Yolk, editrice di due dei tre CD qui sotto trattati) Alban Darche è certamente musicista vorace e--diremmo--sorretto da non poca autostima. I suoi progetti ruotano attorno a un concetto “cubico" che è generosamente illustrato dalla sua più recente produzione. Le Cube ...
Four From The Posi-Tone Pile
by Dan Bilawsky
Some labels release a few records a year; some put out a record every month or two; and then there are those, like the Los Angeles-based Posi-Tone Records, that prefer to push even more music through the pipeline. As 2014 came into being, Posi-Tone began an ambitious release schedule, putting out a new ...

by John Eyles
The Intonema label released its first CDs in 2011 and has maintained a steady stream of noteworthy releases since, the current pair bringing the total to ten. One of the more remarkable features of Intonema is that it is a Russian label, based in St Petersburg--surely a measure of how far the world has evolved since ...
Criss Cross Jazz Roundup
by C. Andrew Hovan
In the past several years there has been a marked change in the jazz landscape that has somehow managed to further spread the demarcation lines between those musicians who practice mainstream leanings and those with a hyper vigilance towards the new avant-garde. Oddly enough, leave it to Criss Cross Jazz, a label that has historically been ...
Jonas Kullhammar Old and New Ways
by Eyal Hareuveni
Swedish great saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar always knew to position his musical activities in a rich historical, musical and artistic context, often with a sharp sense of humor. His tenor playing owes much to such great American post-bop sax players as John Coltrane (and his quartet covered recently Coltrane seminal A Love Supreme), but also to iconic ...
Ulysses Owens Jr.: Of Odysseys And Evolution
by Dan Bilawsky
The back panel of drummer Ulysses Owens Jr.'s Onward & Upward is adorned with a telling quote from spiritual teacher/writer Ernest Holmes. His statement, that “evolution is proof of an irresistible urge which pushes everything onward and upward," could be applied to myriad topics, but it truly captures the essence of jazz drumming through time; it ...
The Founder Effect Signals That Treader Is Alive And Well!
by John Eyles
The Treader label released its first CDs in late 2004. The label's distinctive Frauke Stegmann-designed sleeves, featuring embossed gold pictures of animals on plain backgrounds, made them instantly recognisable and collectable design classics. Rather than singly, the label always put out releases in series of three, the animals of each series sometimes being connected--mammals or birds, ...
