Thomas Marriott: Urban Folklore

Read "Urban Folklore" reviewed by Stefano Merighi

by Stefano Merighi

Il quartetto di Thomas Marriott in questione rappresenta una bella sintesi del jazz americano: Marriott da Seattle, Eric Revis californiano, Orrin Evans erede della scuola di Philadelphia, infine Donald Edwards da New Orleans.

Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You've Been Watching Me

Read "You've Been Watching Me" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Snakeoil di Tim Berne è sicuramente formazione che farebbe fare l'en plein in un “Blindfold test," procedura ideata dal critico musicale Leonard Feather attraverso la quale il musicista in questione viene sottoposto all'ascolto di un disco, con lo scopo di individuarne il titolare ed esprimere una valutazione. Troppo riconoscibile l'impianto sonoro, troppo solide le coordinate stilistiche ...

La persistente attualità di Tim Berne

Read "La persistente attualità di Tim Berne" reviewed by Libero Farnè

by Libero Farnè

Negli ultimi tempi sembra che Tim Berne, sessant'anni compiuti il 16 ottobre 2014, stia vivendo una seconda giovinezza e una grande maturità creativa, che lo hanno portato anche a collaborare con vari gruppi di musicisti emergenti che si potrebbero idealmente considerare suoi allievi.

Cecil Taylor: Garden 1st Set

Read "Garden 1st Set" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

I dare you to put a Cecil Taylor record on the turntable (or press play on that download) and leave the room. You can't. His energy, mojo, or maybe voodoo is so strong, that your escape is impossible. It's as simple as that.Taylor is a force of nature. An irrepressible pianist, poet, philosopher jazzman. ...
