Ben Monder: Amorphae
by John Kelman
Having made his first--and, up to now, only--appearance on Munich's lauded ECM Records on the late drummer Paul Motian's Garden of Eden (2006), it's certainly taken a long time for the virtuosically talented guitarist to get a date of his own. Monder's résumé--while filled with significant associations including, in addition to Motian, composer/bandleader Maria Schneider, double ...
John Abercrombie: The First Quartet
by Mark Sullivan
In many ways guitarist John Abercrombie's recordings with his first quartet represent his real coming of age, as a jazz guitarist, composer, and bandleader. He already had a substantial ECM discography behind him, including his fusion debut Timeless (1975); the overdubbed solo record Characters (1977); the first trio with Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette, the self-titled ...
Adam Rudolph - Go: Organic Guitar Orchestra: Turning Towards The Light
by Glenn Astarita
This acoustic-electric guitar summit by an upper-echelon congregation of modernists yields a polychromatic listening experience, conducted and organized by composer, percussionist, Adam Rudolph. And it should come as no surprise that the musicians' distinct styles and vernaculars create added value here. Rudolph's proven track record of thinking outside the box and expanding jazz and world-beat music ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day IV
by Vincenzo Roggero
Giunto al quarto capitolo della serie, il quintetto del batterista /compositore Harris Eisenstadt denominato Canada Day si conferma formazione di assoluto valore, forte di un sound personale e ben definito, dotato di grande pulizia e precisione, dalla chiara progettualità. Ci tornano alla memoria certi combo degli anni cinquanta orbitanti nella galassia del cosiddetto “Cool Jazz," da ...
Joshua Breakstone: 2nd Avenue
by Maurizio Zerbo
Come rinverdire il mainstream contemporaneo? Secondo Joshua Breakstone, la risposta a tale quesito risiede nella varietà della disposizione timbrica. Gli arrangiamenti sono stati allestiti per arricchire la tavolozza armonica del canonico trio con chitarra-basso-batteria. Al felice esito del CD in esame contribuisce anche la dimensione melodica del violoncello, impiegato in ben cinque brani. È una piacevole ...
John Scofield: Past Present
by Angelo Leonardi
John Scofield alterna ciclicamente immersioni nel rock e dintorni con altre jazzisticamente vivaci e ricche di blues feeling. Dopo la recente pubblicazione di un live del '99 con la rock band statunitense Gov't Mule (Sco-Mule, Evil Teen 2015) oggi rinnova una lontana collaborazione con il sassofonista Joe Lovano: era con lui nel quartetto che agli inizi ...
Heads of State: Search for Peace
by Maurizio Zerbo
Un'ennesima proposta accattivante ci viene dalla label indipendente Smoke Records, grazie a questo splendido gruppo di “all stars." L'interplay è perfetto, forte di una più che quarantennale collaborazione che a vario titolo accomuna i quattro musicisti. Tutti ultrassantenni, Gary Bartz e compagni affrontano questa cavalcata tra gli standard con disinvolta naturalezza, che consente di infondere nell'ascoltatore ...

Ben Monder: Amorphae
by Mark Sullivan
Veteran guitarist Ben Monder is at his most experimental and atmospheric in this collection of largely improvised performances, his sixth album as a leader, and his first for ECM. The genesis of the album came from Monder's 2010 duet sessions with Paul Motian, sadly abbreviated by the legendary drummer's passing. Motian fans can surely be forgiven ...
