Thomas Heberer's Clarino: Klippe One

Read "Klippe One" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

In questo doppio LP, il trombettista quarantacinquenne Thomas Heberer, tedesco ma stabilitosi a New York, presenta due facce della sua ricerca estetica. I primi nove brani lo vedono in trio col clarinettista belga Joachim Badenhorst ed il bassista franco-tedesco Pascal Niggenkemper: emergono un interplay misurato, un intreccio poco appariscente ed approcci strumentali poco virtuosistici, basati su ...

RED Trio + John Butcher: Empire

Read "Empire" reviewed by John Eyles

by John Eyles

It is an interesting comment on the state of improvised music across Europe that Empire is performed by a Portuguese trio joined by an English saxophonist, released on a Lithuanian record label, pressed in Germany. Studio-recorded in Lisbon in April 2010, Empire has been released on 12" vinyl in a limited edition, housed in a very ...

Tarfala Trio: Syzygy

Read "Syzygy" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

A quick glance at Wikipedia reveals a bewildering number of definitions of Syzygy, the name of the third offering from the Tarfala Trio, comprising English master bassist Barry Guy and the Swedish pairing of saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and drummer Raymond Strid. Two meanings stand out as being particularly apt: the first, referring to a straight-line configuration ...

Thomas Heberer's Clarino: Klippe One

Read "Klippe One" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

German born/New York-based trumpeter Thomas Heberer reveals dual facets of his personality on Klippe One--a 300-set limited edition double-LP. Although part of the Dutch Instant Composers Pool since 1990, and lately part of veteran multi-instrumentalist Karl Berger's Workshop Orchestra, Heberer here goes to the opposite extremes, with the first disc (Klippe) featuring his current trio and ...

William Hooker: Crossing Points

Read "Crossing Points" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

After his well-received Earth's Orbit (No Business Records, 2010), drummer/composer William Hooker raids the archives for Crossing Points, drawn from a 1992 New York City date with saxophonist Thomas Chapin. The drummer has straddled the free jazz and noise camps, but here almost merges the two in a 76-minute program where the energy levels barely move ...

Sei Miguel: Turbina Anthem

Read "Turbina Anthem" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

It's almost a given that any new release on the Lithuanian No Business label is going to be a bit out of the ordinary. As the catalogue grows, so does its depth and breadth. Turbina Anthem vouchsafes that proposition, comprising an unusual guitar and trumpet duet by two Portuguese improvisers who deserve a wider audience. Trumpeter ...

William Hooker - Thomas Chapin: Crossing Points

Read "Crossing Points" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy 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 ossimoriche come lirismo ...

Terrence McManus / Mark Helias / Gerry Hemingway: Transcendental Numbers

Read "Transcendental Numbers" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Guitarist Terrence McManus helms a stellar trio on Transcendental Numbers, through six collective concoctions recorded in New York City's The Stone, straddling and blurring the line between textural improvisation and the more traditional sound of guitar and rhythm section. Brooklyn-born McManus is carving a niche for himself on the scene. Having worked with drummer/composer Tyshawn Sorey, ...
