Howard Riley: 10.11.12

by John Sharpe
English pianist Howard Riley has found a late career champion in the Lithuanian No Business imprint. 10:11:12 constitutes his fourth release in as many years. In the liner to his previous album Live With Repertoire (2013), the pianist explained that he likes to characterize his gigs into with/without repertoire. As such this outing falls mainly into ...
Paul Hubweber / Frank Paul Schubert / Alexander von Schlippenbach / Clayton Thomas / Willi Kellers: Intricacies

by John Sharpe
As titles go, Intricacies stands as one of the more appropriate. Not so much in the sense of obscurity or being difficult to understand, but rather with reference to the entanglements engendered by the ear stretching five way interplay. Recorded in the German capital's B-Flat club in early 2014 the 2 CD set captures a multi-generational ...
Stefan Keune/Dominic Lash/Steve Noble: Fractions

by John Sharpe
German reedman Stefan Keune has shown a strong affinity for British improv since making a connection with drummer Paul Lytton in 1990. Since then his discography records a number of dates with guitarist John Russell, including appearances at London's now dormant Freedom of the City festival. This limited edition LP, recorded at Russell's Mopomoso gathering at ...
Gianni Lenoci, Kent Carter, Bill Elgart: Plaything

by Libero Farnè
Ancor più di altre incisioni più o meno recenti, Plaything conferma la dimensione internazionale" della musica di Gianni Lenoci. Non solo perché il pianista barese, per quanto solitamente appartato e schivo, non esposto quanto si vorrebbe nel circuito concertistico, si relaziona e dialoga abitualmente con improvvisatori stranieri d'indiscussa levatura, ma soprattutto per la grana qualitativa e ...
Ted Daniel's Energy Module: Innerconnection

by Vincenzo Roggero
Innerconnection è l'ennesimo capitolo della preziosa opera di recupero da parte della label lituana No Business nei confronti di artisti di valore non sempre adeguatamente riconosciuti o protagonisti di lavori comparsi come meteore nel panorama discografico dell'epoca. È il caso di questa formazione di alto profilo assemblata dal trombettista Ted Daniel, e messa su vinile nell'autunno ...
Dave Burrell / Steve Swell: Turning Point

by John Sharpe
Although firmly associated with the avant-garde, pianist Dave Burrell often harkens back to pre-bop styles in his execution. On Turning Point he explicitly acknowledges such sources in his writing too. Perhaps that's appropriate in a sequence inspired by the American Civil War -what Burrell terms a war to end slavery. While composer in residence at Philadelphia's ...
Barry Guy: Five Fizzles for Samuel Beckett

by John Sharpe
Not to be confused with Fizzles (Maya, 1993), which contains the first documented version of the titular work along with other pieces for solo bass, Five Fizzles for Samuel Beckett is a 14 minute limited edition EP which does what it says on the tin. Virtuoso British bassist Barry Guy has long drawn inspiration from other ...
Ted Daniel's Energy Module: Innerconnection

by John Sharpe
Although 72-year old trumpeter Ted Daniel remains active on the scene -courtesy of his Duology partnership with clarinetist Michael Marcus, and his own International Brass and Membrane Corps -a significant part of his recent output has focused on archival recordings. As such, the first time release of the 2 CD Innerconnection from fall 1975 neatly fits ...
Juan Pablo Carletti / Tony Malaby / Christopher Hoffman: Niño/Brujo

by John Sharpe
For his debut album, NYC-based Argentinian drummer Juan Pablo Carletti has made some wise choices, even before one considers the music. Foremost among those is the selection of saxophonist Tony Malaby to front his trio. Malaby has a compelling track record of energising such threesomes, as evidenced by his 14 year tenure in bassist Mark Helias' ...
Gianni Lenoci / Kent Carter / Bill Elgart: Plaything

by John Sharpe
Italian pianist Gianni Lenoci forms one apex of a trio with almost unlimited collective nous on Plaything. There are main two reasons for that: Kent Carter on bass and Bill Elgart on drums, both veterans of the 1964 October Revolution in Jazz, who have since carved niches for themselves in Europe. Carter 's early exposure arrived ...
