New York City Based Serbian-Japanese Instrumental Duo Yagull Greatly Expands Their Post Rock Chamber Soundtrack Concept On Second Album Kai

New York, NY - Yagull's official debut for MoonJune Records, 'Kai', finds the band expanding its post-rock chamber soundtrack concept to great effect. The result is a simmering sonic bouillabaisse, chocked full of choice ingredients which delectably merge to blur the lines drawn by traditional genres - delightfully teasing the palette, while appealing to an expansive ...

Material Hallucination EngineAxiom1994 Some albums come along without any real intention other than to be what the are yet, without any fanfare, completely change the possible ways music can be perceived, felt and created by those lucky enough to hear them. Today's Rediscovery is one such album, a record that wasn't ...

Vijay Iyer Trio: Break Stuff

Read "Break Stuff" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Dopo l'escursione nel terreno minato del quartetto d'archi e delle ambientazioni cameristiche del precedente lavoro per ECM (Mutations), risolta al solito brillantemente, Vijay Iyer ritorna allo storico trio acustico, con Stephan Crump e Marcus Gilmore, attivo da undici anni, qui al debutto per la prestigiosa etichetta bavarese. E lo fa licenziando il solito grande album, aggiungendo ...

Tony Malaby: Scorpion Eater

Read "Scorpion Eater" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Tubacello: un bel sincretismo lessicale per definire l'organico riunito da Tony Malaby in occasione di questo Scorpion Eater. L'accoppiata di tuba e violoncello (che con il termine tubacello diventano un unico strumento, fantastico) viene scelta dal sassofonista in sostituzione del contrabbasso e dà vita a una formazione di marcata duttilità, in grado di affrontare con efficacia ...

John O'Gallagher: The Honeycomb

Read "The Honeycomb" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

What if jazz was rock-and-roll? Not the corporate-halftime show-American Idol rock, but the dangerous music your parents (maybe grandparents) were afraid of. Remember, there was a time when jazz was threatening. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie startled listeners with their revolutionary 'bebop,' before Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler caused fist fights and mini-riots. Jazz has since ...

Rudresh Mahanthappa: Bird Calls

Read "Bird Calls" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

On Bird Calls, alto saxophonist and composer Rudresh Mahanthappa takes on the music of Charlie Parker in a personal and profound way, accompanied by his whip-smart, uber-hip and youthful backing band. Let's face it, folks; this is the sort of thing a jazz fan's daydreams are made of. The result doesn't disappoint; Bird Calls is a ...

Hilary Gardner: The Great City

Read "The Great City" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Nel traboccante panorama delle nuove jazz singers, Hilary Gardner ha saputo emergere già con questo debutto, che spicca per la sentita adesione al jazz anni quaranta/cinquanta senza timore d'apparire demodé. La Gardner è una suadente interprete di ballads che disegna con profonda musicalità, purezza espressiva ed elegante chiarore timbrico secondo i modelli di Julie London, Peggy ...
