Szilàrd Mezei Vocal Ensemble: Fújj szél, Zenta, visszhangozz szél!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Temperature piuttosto distanti da quelle a cui Mezei ci ha abituati caratterizzano questo album in tentetto, la cui principale peculiarità sta nella presenza della sorella di Szilàrd, Kinga, la cui vocalità, molto mitteleuropea, ricorda non poco quella della svizzera Irene Aebi, com'è noto compagna d'arte e di vita di Steve Lacy. Temperature distanti, si diceva, decisamente ...
Satoko Fujii Ma-Do: Time Stands Still
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo Heat Wave e Desert Ship, questo Time Stands Still è il terzo CD del Satoko Fujii Ma-Do, quartetto tutto giapponese nato nell'ottobre 2007. Purtroppo sarà anche l'ultimo nella medesima formazione, in quanto il bassista Norikatsu Koreyasu è improvvisamente deceduto il 23 settembre 2011, esattamente tre mesi dopo che Time Stands Still fu inciso a New ...
Satoko Fujii Ma-Do: Time Stands Still
by Glenn Astarita
Several months after this recording, bassist Norikatsu Koeyasu died of a heart-attack in-between tours. Pianist Satoko Fujii decided that the band could not continue without his presence, citing his vital role and “telepathic connection." Hence, Ma-Do's third album will be its last. It's an unfortunate occurrence but a testament to the musicians' realization that a replacement ...
Szilárd Mezei: Singing Elephant
by AAJ Italy Staff
Serbo di nazionalità ma etnicamente ungherese, Szilárd Mezei è uno dei musicisti più originali emersi in Europa nell'ultimo decennio. Virtuoso di viola e compositore, Mezei ha elaborato una pregnante sintesi tra le forme dell'avanguardia afroamericana (dal free storico a Braxton), il folklore della Vojvodina e la musica classica (in particolare la lezione di Witold Lutoslawski e ...
Jon Irabagon/ Hernani Faustino/ Gabriel Ferrandini: Absolut Zero
by John Sharpe
If you are as extraordinarily talented as saxophonist Jon Irabagon, probably best known from his tenure in the gloriously irreverent Mostly Other People Do The Killing, then you might occasionally need to set yourself challenges. He's done it before, on Foxy (Hot Cup, 2010), where he undertakes a relentless examination of a theme from every conceivable ...
Kris Wanders - Mani Neumaier Quintet: Taken by Surprise
by AAJ Italy Staff
Due dei protagonisti storici della musica free in Europa si incontrano di nuovo in sala di registrazione dopo quarant'anni. Come dire: il free non si arrende mai! Kris Wanders è un sassofonista olandese attivo nella scena free della prima ora e con trascorsi nella Globe Unity Orchestra. Dopo diversi tour in Europa ha cambiato residenza spostandosi ...
Satoko Fujii ma-do: Time Stands Still
by John Sharpe
When asked why she has lead or co-lead so many different projects (23 at last count), pianist Satoko Fujii replied “It's like food. I don't like just Japanese food, but also Italian food, French food and so on, and I would soon get tired if I just ate Japanese food." If her ma-do quartet were to ...
Satoko Fujii Ma-Do: Time Stands Still
by Dan McClenaghan
In terms of CD releases, pianist Satoko Fujii passed the bandleader baton to her husband, trumpeter Natsuki Tamura, in 2012, resulting in two exceptional albums on the Libra Records label: the trumpet/piano duo outing, Muku, and Forever, from Tamura's European folk music-flavored Gato Libre group. For the always prolific Fujii, a year without a release under ...
Rodrigo Amado's Motion Trio + Jeb Bishop: The Flame Alphabet
by John Sharpe
Remember free-bop? While there's no hard and fast definition, the term was used to encompass jazz boasting a written head, often at rapid bebop tempo, which subsequently opened up harmonically and rhythmically, but without straying completely off the map. Think some of the freewheeling Blue Note discs of Sam Rivers and Andrew Hill or some of ...
The Engines: Other Violets
by Glenn Astarita
The Chicago-based ensemble's third outing is a dynamic and progressive undertaking, but poignant due to the passing of saxophone legend John Tchicai (Don Cherry, New York Art Quartet, Archie Shepp) who passed away on October 8th, 2012. He joined the unit, making a guest appearance, for this live set recorded on May 15th 2012 at Chicago's ...
