Peter Kuhn Is Back With A New Trio Recording And His Archive Recordings Reissue
Livin' Right is a product of the amazing NYC loft scene of the 1970s, where players from around the world gathered in a rare period of community, harmony, and creativity, a time when a relative unknown from California could meet and play with the great musicians on this disc. William Parker was already a phenomenon at ...
Marilyn Lerner / Ken Filiano / Lou Grassi: Live At Edgefest
by John Sharpe
Three stalwarts of the improvised music scene combine to persuasive effect on the limited edition LP Live At Edgefest. An excellent sound allows Canadian pianist Marilyn Lerner and the NYC-based pairing of bassist Ken Filiano and drummer Lou Grassi to be heard as part of a truly egalitarian collective. A strong group dynamic is evident straight ...
Vladimir Tarasov Trio: Intuitus
by John Eyles
Born in 1946, drummer Vladimir Tarasov long ago assured his place in the history of jazz and improvised music through his membership--from 1971 to 1986--of the Ganelin Trio, one of the first groups from the USSR to become renowned and achieve critical acclaim outside of their homeland. Since 1968, Tarasov has been a resident of Vilnius, ...
William Hooker, Thomas Chapin: Crossing Points
by AAJ Staff
L'aggiornato e appassionato blog Free Jazz dedica a questo disco una recensione di pochissime righe, quasi una lista di tags che forse meglio di ogni ragionamento riesce a dare le coordinate della musica del duo tra il batterista William Hooker e il sassofonista Thomas Chapin. Certo, a elencare qualità [a volte anche apparentemente ...
John Carter: Echoes From Rudolph's
by John Sharpe
Echoes From Rudolph's captures a pivotal moment in clarinetist John Carter's career, when he abandoned his saxophones and began specializing entirely on the woodwind wand. Reissued from 1977, the NoBusiness imprint has supplemented the original LP with a contemporaneous radio broadcast by the same unit. While there is some noise on the first disc as it ...
Convergence Quartet: Owl Jacket
by Stefano Merighi
Il sodalizio del Convergence Quartet, benchè saltuario, rimane vitale e convincente, come dimostra questo Owl Jacket, che offre un repertorio vario e ben strutturato, arrivando a toccare le corde di un lirismo accorato, come ad esempio nell'iniziale Dogbe Na Wo Lo," vicina a certe cose del Don Cherry folklorico." Una melodia curiosamente affine ...
Bobby Bradford, Frode Gjerstad Quartet: The Delaware River
by Vincenzo Roggero
Sono più di trent'anni che le strade di Bobby Bradford e Frode Gjerstad si incrociano continuamente, dall'esordio nei Details di John Stevens per arrivare alla manciata di ottimi CD incisi in trio o in quartetto. Risulta così del tutto normale l'alto grado di intesa che si percepisce tra i due lungo i quaranta minuti scarsi di ...
William Hooker: Light The Early Years 1975-1989
by Mark Corroto
The good news is that record executives are no longer the gatekeepers of taste and style in music today. Inexpensive recording equipment and the advent of digital music allow the artist, and the audience to cast a wide net these days. This wasn't the case forty years ago, especially for the improvised jazz scene. Studio time ...
William Hooker: Light

The label has released some of drummer William Hooker's most accomplished ...
Karl Berger, Kirk Knuffke: Moon
by Vincenzo Roggero
Un mostro sacro della musica improvvisata, educatore, compositore, arrangiatore, direttore d'orchestra oltre che eccellente vibrafonista e pianista incontra il più sensibile alla tradizione tra gli emergenti trombettisti (pochi, molto pochi) che stanno esplorando nuovi sentieri nell'evoluzione dello strumento e nasce Moon. Parliamo naturalmente del veterano Karl Berger e del talentuoso Kirk Knuffke musicisti che, in due ...
