Dom Minasi & Jack DeSalvo: Soldani Dieci Anni
by Mark Sullivan
Guitarist Dom Minasi is known as an experimentalist and free player, so there is much in this set of acoustic duets with fellow guitarist Jack DeSalvo that will confound expectations. Opener The Indelible Delible" is a free improvisation with the expected outside playing and flurries of notes--but there is also some delicate textural playing. Then Minasi's ...
Erik Friedlander: Rings
by Jakob Baekgaard
Repetition is sometimes seen as a bad thing. The mundane cycle of everyday life involving the same actions. However, it is only through repetition that differences can occur. A weekend is only special because it stands out as a difference from the ordinary week. But repetition is not only useful as a way of appreciating difference, ...

The record is dedicated to Pellitteri's daughter Veronica, who died at a young age nearly two years ago. The pain of loss can be keenly felt on several tracks on ...
Gordon Beeferman: Four Parts Five
by Alberto Bazzurro
Disco assolutamente futile, persino fastidioso, nel suo incessante, inesorabile, impietoso rimuginare attorno a pochi patterns che vengono ripetuti per qualche decina di secondi (o più) ciascuno, per passare poi al successivo, e così via. Questo, lungo i quattro brani che compongono l'album (appena mezzoretta di musica, ma che fatica arrivare ciò nonostante alla fine!), senza soluzioni ...

Può ferire, può far sanguinare se maneggiato da mani incaute questo Blivet di Jon Madof, chitarrista abituato a frequentare la corte di John Zorn e Marc Ribot. Catchy fin dal primo brano: Dime a Dozen," fantasmagoria funk che trasuda anni Settanta, è la luccicante apertura che, chiusa l'ubriacatura di chitarre in wha, si allontana senza farlo ...
