Harvey Sorgen / Joe Fonda / Marilyn Crispell: Dreamstruck

Read "Dreamstruck" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

Read "The 3Dom Factor: Live in Krakow" reviewed by Enrico Bettinello


Tutta l'energia del concerto nell'ottimo Alchemia Club di Cracovia (siamo a dicembre del 2016). Garantisce il batterista Barry Altschul, nome imprescindibile del jazz contemporaneo (lo ricordiamo con Paul Bley o con Anthony Braxton), alla guida del trio 3Dom Factor, con Joe Fonda al contrabbasso e un fantasticamente irrequieto Jon Irabagon a tenore e sopranino.

Kyle Bruckmann's Degradient: Dear Everyone

Read "Dear Everyone" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Diceva Luciano Berio nel 1974, a proposito della ricerca di “analogie specifiche" tra linguaggio verbale e musica, che “proprio questo tipo di ricerca è un altro modo di vivere una delle condizioni più reali e permanenti della musica, che è quella di rincorrere senza sosta un'utopia di linguaggio," per “scoprire nuove e provvisorie relazioni tra suono ...

Amir ElSaffar Rivers of Sound: Rivers of Sound

Read "Rivers of Sound" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Questa monumentale opera del compositore e trombettista iracheno-americano sviluppa una sintesi musicale iniziata nel 2006 col sestetto Two Rivers di cui facevano parte anche il sassofonista Rudresh Mahanthappa e il batterista Nasheet Waits. Amir ElSaffar fonde il jazz d'avanguardia con alcune forme tradizionali orientali: la dimensione melodica microtonale del maqam convive con un cangiante tappeto ritmico ...

Read "Planets of Kei" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Tre musicisti, un serbo, uno sloveno e un emiliano, ognuno per suo conto avvezzo a una musica ben altrimenti meditata e strutturata (specie il violista serbo), decidono di riunirsi in una di quelle che una volta si chiamavano “sedute d'improvvisazione" che il sottotitolo dell'album, Free Sessions Vol. 1, c'informa essere la prima di una serie, e ...
