All Together Now: Improv’s World Wide Web
by John Eyles
Since the turn of the millennium, improvised music has increasingly become a global phenomenon. Rather than improvising players forming inter-continental links as they have since the 1970s, they now make links across the globe, a process made easier by the advent of the world-wide web and social networking sites. If you were to draw onto a ...
Benoit Delbecq: The Sixth Jump / Circles and Calligrams
by Jerry D'Souza
Pianist Benoît Delbecq makes his debut trio recording with The Sixth Jump, released simultaneously with Circles and Calligrams, which Delbecq describes in a solo outing. The first disc amplifies his skills as an empathic leader whose inventive thematic explorations are woven in spontaneous interaction with his mates. The second lets him explore the dynamics of the ...
Two Aspects of Dave Liebman
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Records on which the prolific saxophonist David Liebman appears, not counting those under his own leadership, could constitute an entire jazz sub-genre on their own. So the two records reviewed here are part of a crowded field.And although Liebman's presence is the common denominator, it is more than a little unfair to the leaders ...
Jan Lundgren celebrates Andre Previn and Cole Porter
by Chris Mosey
What do Andre Previn and Cole Porter have in common? Well, with Saul Chaplin, Previn adapted Porter's greatest hit, the score for the 1953 MGM musical Kiss Me Kate. Apart from this, and with little apparent consequence until now, both men greatly influenced the life of Torgil Rosenberg, a Swedish dentist, amateur flier and jazz enthusiast. ...
Le gemme Original Jazz Classics
by AAJ Italy Staff
Continua a crescere rigogliosa nel jazz l'arte della ristampe, dove eccelle sommamente il catalogo della Original Jazz Classics del gruppo Concord. Ecco in rassegna alcuni capolavori consegnati al giudizio storico, su cui non c'è molto da argomentare. Per quei pochi che non li possiedono, sarà un illuminante percorso iniziatico nel jazz moderno. Chi ha già i ...
Altri/Ritmi Speciale regali di Natale 2010
by AAJ Italy Staff
Forse regalare un disco nel 2010 è un po' demodé. Probabilmente i settimanali più alla moda vi suggeriranno che il massimo per questo Natale è regalare o farsi regalare un i-pod pieno di brani che voi amate. Comunque la pensiate. Sia che vogliate acquistarli, sminuzzarli in mp3, suggerirli, impacchettarli, viverli sotto l'albero, questi sono i CD ...
1970s Incus: Old and New
by John Eyles
Coincidentally, two recent releases, one a reissue on Emanem, the second an album of previously unissued material on Incus, put the spotlight on the Incus label in the mid 1970s. This was a time when the so-called “second generation of free improvisers" was emerging. At the time, the first generation--including Incus proprietors guitarist Derek Bailey, saxophonist ...
Enrico Rava: The Complete Remastered Recordings on Black Saint & Soul Note
by AAJ Italy Staff
Arriva nei negozi la prima retrospettiva (sia pur parziale) dedicata a Enrico Rava. Gliela dedica la CAM Jazz (che come si sa ha rilevato lo storico catalogo Soul Note e Black Saint) con un box contenente le incisioni che il trombettista siglò a suo nome per l'etichetta milanese. Cinque dischi (riprodotti nel loro artwork originale) che ...
Hatology's Big Band Big Bang
by Mark Corroto
Creative large ensembles are precious commodities. In the modern era, maintaining both features (innovation and size) is a marvel. There are large repertory ensembles playing those “oldies" that are, maybe, goodies, and smaller, more economically efficient bands that have always been the flag bearers for originality. But to witness a large ensemble, big band or arkestra ...
Satoko Fujii: Desert Ship / Zephyros
by AAJ Italy Staff
È una casella centrale quella occupa Satoko Fujii nello scacchiere del jazz contemporaneo. Sono bastati meno di una decina d'anni alla pianista giapponese per imporsi all'attenzione (più della critica che del pubblico; ma questa è la solita storia, l'eterno cruccio per chi scrive di musiche “non allineate") con una serie di dischi tutti di altissimo profilo. ...
