Larry Ochs, Nels Cline, Gerald Cleaver: What Is To Be Done
by Giuseppe Segala
"Siamo arrivati. Abbiamo improvvisato. Siamo partiti. Ogni serata è piuttosto diversa." Così Nels Cline, parlando di questo trio. Due lunghi brani con prevalenza di episodi abrasivi, arroventati, della durata di più di venti minuti ciascuno, e un terzo più disteso, seppure ricco di tensioni interne, molto più breve, a fare da cuscinetto, da valvola di relax, ...
Anthony Braxton: Quartet (New Haven) 2014
by Mark Corroto
If, as an Anthony Braxton listener, you are confounded by his numeric compositional titles and and hieroglyphic scores, finding this music dedicated to rock, blues, funk and country music legends may give you some relief, albeit temporary. Quartet (New Haven) 2014 is a one-off meeting of the avant-garde's avant-gardist and today's heroes of both rock and ...
Ben Goldberg: Good Day For Cloud Fishing
by Mark Corroto
Poetry and jazz, jazz and poetry, which came first? Ben Goldberg poses that same question with Good Day For Cloud Fishing. His answer to the philosophical 'chicken or the egg' riddle is well, both. Sure, Homer wrote the Iliad centuries before King Oliver put cornet to lips, but damn if there wasn't some gutbucket rhyming to ...
Bobby Previte: Rhapsody
by Stefano Merighi
Rhapsody è la seconda parte della trilogia che Bobby Previte ha dedicato al tema del viaggio e dello sradicamento, intitolata Terminals. Si tratta di un lavoro ardito e complesso che testimonia della sensibilità che il batterista e compositore americano ha maturato in questi anni e che lo colloca in una dimensione assai diversa rispetto al jazz ...

Derek Bailey / Han Bennink / Evan Parker: Topographie Parisienne
by Mark Corroto
This analogy between free improvisation and human nature seems appropriate. Some people, seeing a burning building, will flee for their lives, while others run straight into the building. Mention the names of any member of this trio—Derek Bailey, Han Bennink or Evan Parker—to listeners and they either give a big hoorah or make a break for ...
Larry Ochs / Nels Cline / Gerald Cleaver: What Is To Be Done
by Mark Corroto
Sandwiched between two epic novels of improvisation--each a track of over twenty minutes of sound--is the respite piece “A Pause, A Rose" by the trio of saxophonist Larry Ochs, guitarist Nels Cline and drummer Gerald Cleaver. Cline, who some may know from his work with the alternative rock band Wilco, opens with a few simple notes ...
Ava Mendoza, Nels Cline & Ralph Towner
by Martin Longley
Ava Mendoza & Nels Cline National Sawdust March 27, 2019 Since its old space closed its doors, John Zorn has been spreading The Stone out into other locations, besides its current main home at The New School. One of these alternative platforms is at National Sawdust, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where ...
Tom Rainey Trio: Combobulated
by Stefano Merighi
Tom Rainey è da anni batterista tra i più versatili. A suo agio nella lingua della tradizione (Fred Hersch, Joe Lovano, Carmen McRae, il suo gruppo Obbligato..) ma anche nelle forme aperte della postmodernità (Tim Berne, David Torn, Nels Cline...), raggiunge con il suo trio risultati anomali, di volta in volta più sorprendenti. Sempre affiancato da ...
