Nicolas Masson / Roberto Pianca / Emanuele Maniscalco: Third Reel
by Glenn Astarita
This Swiss-Italian trio of well-travelled musicians benefits from ECM Records' fabled sonic ambiance, largely brought to fruition by distinct audio engineering processes, owing to spatial characteristics and great depth. Its sound is categorically different than customary jazz, jazz-rock or avant- garde-tinted productions. Whether it's the artists' subtly creative exercises that are introspective and understated, or guitarist ...
Nicolas Masson / Roberto Pianca / Emanuele Maniscalco: Third Reel
by John Kelman
Few would argue that, while the standard touchstones of contemporary jazz--names like saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Charles Mingus, and trumpeter Miles Davis--remain amongst the many cited when contemporary artists are asked for their influences, younger influences have also emerged in the new millennium, names like saxophonist Chris Potter, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and pianist ...
Nicolas Masson – Roberto Pianca – Emanuele Maniscalco: Third Reel
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il ginevrino Nicolas Masson, il ticinese Roberto Pianca e il bresciano Emanuele Maniscalco si sono riuniti in questo trio attorno a un'idea forte. Un'idea magari non così insolita, di questi tempi, ma che riesce comunque a generare una musica di estremo rigore e coesione. La non eccessiva originalità si deve al fatto che non mancano di ...

Bertrand Blessing & Pitched Battle: Genève
by AAJ Italy Staff
Anche la neutrale Svizzera ha la sua leva jazzistica degli anni Duemiladieci; e il batterista Bertrand Blessing ne è un degno rappresentante. 34 anni, originario di Ginevra, il ragazzo ha idee fresche, una felice vena compositiva, doti strumentali non indifferenti e, quel che più conta, è perfettamente sintonizzato sul presente, al centro di un triangolo estetico ...

Nicolas Masson Parallels: Thirty Six Ghosts
by Glenn Astarita
Switzerland reared tenor sax ace and composer Nicolas Masson draws inspiration from Yoshitoshi Taiso's (1839-1892) woodblock paintings. Hence, emotion and impressionism is projected via the power of jazz music, as Masson and his quartet render a poly-angled view that incorporates the artist's lucid imagery and contrasting colors. With Thirty Six Ghosts, the saxophonist leads a concentrated ...
