Hatology's Big Band Big Bang

Read "Hatology's Big Band Big Bang" reviewed by Mark Corroto

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

Read "Satoko Fujii: Desert Ship / Zephyros" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

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. ...

by AAJ Italy Staff

Ecco in rassegna alcuni recenti titoli di casa Amirani Records, l'etichetta ideata e realizzata da Gianni Mimmo con l'intento, tra gli altri, di provocare una frattura ricca di humus e di fertilità, in un mercato discografico ingessato, in mano a poche, monolitiche realtà produttive. Rigore intellettuale, piena libertà artistica, cura dei dettagli, interazione tra linguaggi, curiosità ...

Organ duo releases from St. Peter’s, Whitstable

Read "Organ duo releases from St. Peter’s, Whitstable" reviewed by John Eyles

by John Eyles

St. Peter's church in the English seaside town of Whitstable, Kent, has become one of the favourite recording locations for saxophonist Evan Parker's Psi label. Reasons for this center around the acoustics of the church plus the presence in Whitstable of ace recording engineer Adam Skeating, who repeatedly demonstrates his ability to perfectly capture the church's ...

Wes Montgomery, Soulive and the Beatles: Bending Time

Read "Wes Montgomery, Soulive and the Beatles: Bending Time" reviewed by Chris May

by Chris May

Two albums by guitar/organ trios would seem, on the face of it, to be prosaic enough propositions. And musically, guitarist Wes Montgomery's Boss Guitar, newly remastered, and Soulive's Rubber Soulive, recorded in 2010, are indeed straightforward affairs. But consider them together, and a cluster of time warps emerge, as 47 years of age difference shrink and ...

Guitarist Gabor Gado: Two Views from Budapest

Read "Guitarist Gabor Gado: Two Views from Budapest" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

Herewith two records released at about the same time, on the same label (Hungary's Budapest Music Center), both prominently featuring Hungarian guitarist Gábor Gadó. If, however, it's pleasing to play the discs side by side--and it really is--it's as much because of the two records' differences as their similarities.Budapest Concerts is a concert recording ...

Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM): The Manticore Years

Read "Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM): The Manticore Years" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

While other important Italian bands emerged in the heyday of the 1970s, such as Le Orme and Banco, when it comes to progressive rock, none can hold a candle to Premiata Forneri Marconi, commonly known in the English language world as PFM. Whether PFM is better or worse than any of these other groups is fodder ...
