Han-earl Park: Anomic Aphasia

Read "Anomic Aphasia" reviewed by John Eyles

by John Eyles

The music on Han-earl Park's third CD for Slam, Anomic Aphasia, derives from two similar but significantly different Park projects. The first is Eris 136199, an improvising trio consisting of guitarists Park and Nick Didkovsky (leader of Doctor Nerve) plus saxophonist Catherine Sikora. Described by Park as “the noisy, unruly complexity of the ensemble Eris 136199" ...

Miguel Zenon: Identities Are Changeable

Read "Identities Are Changeable" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

Il progetto di Miguel Zenon Identities Are Changeable è ambizioso nel voler coniugare in un unicum espressivo musica ed interviste ad immigrati portoricani a New York. L'obiettivo era quello di aggiungere un nuovo tassello alla più che decennale esplorazione dei legami tra jazz e la musica del suo paese d'origine. Ma l'originalità dell'idea non ha un ...

Brandon Seabrook: Sylphid Vitalizers

Read "Sylphid Vitalizers" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Guitarist Brandon Seabrook (Andrew Drury, Anthony Braxton) is justifiably garnering considerable press as a burgeoning firebrand who terrorizes or perhaps, atomizes the banjo and guitar with punk metal, free jazz and anarchistic rock proclivities. With his third solo release he conjures otherworldly and brain-bending propositions via an array of highly disciplined supercharged performances on banjo and ...

Trio (Mit)Marlene: The Surface of an Object

Read "The Surface of an Object" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

"La superficie di un oggetto" è, nella sua apparente ovvietà, il primo contatto con l'oggetto stesso, sia dal punto di vista visivo che tattile. Ed è anche il primo passo di un viaggio che sensi solerti e curiosi possono intraprendere verso la scoperta della realtà nascosta. Giacomo Merega, Michael Attias e Satoshi Takeishi sanno bene come ...

To Roy is dedicated to the late trumpeter Roy Campbell Jr., who had risen among the ranks as a first-call session artist amid a fruitful career as a leader.
