I tesori Afro-Tropicali della Soundway Records
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'autorevole web-magazine Pitchfork le ha incollato il bollino di qualità senza pensarci su nemmeno un istante, definendo la selezione delle sue antologie niente di meno che “stupefacente". È l'etichetta Soundway (distribuita in Italia dalla Family Affair), specializzata in antologie e ristampe che fanno rivivere il cuore nero di Africa e America Latina nel periodo cruciale che ...
Amirani Records
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
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
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
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
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 ...
A Beautiful Friendship: Benjamin Koppel and Kenny Werner
by Jakob Baekgaard
A good friendship is all about communication--two people being able to understand and correspond with each other, creating a sense of togetherness which leaves room for the kind of conversation that goes beyond the mere chitchat of everyday life. Pianist Kenny Werner and saxophonist Benjamin Koppel have developed a unique musical friendship. Strong ...
Tatsuya Nakatani: Essences and Abiogenesis
by Clifford Allen
What is improvised music without visuality? While the music of improvising composers can be felt and picked apart aurally, the physical act of making music in an un- preconceived setting is something rather extraordinary and easily lost through the audible distance of a recording. It's not just the dynamic, theatrical high jinks of a player like ...
Michael Dease, Mike Fahie: Attack of the Killer Trombones!
by J Hunter
The trombone: long locked into a stereotypical role formed by Dixieland, and only occasionally broken since. Fortunately, the last few years have seen more and more trombonists following J.J. Johnson's lead and bringing the instrument out front. Four discs with trombones at their center have stood out so far in 2010; two are reviewed here, two ...
