Conference Call: What About The ...?

Read "What About The ...?" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Conference Call è un quartetto composto da musicisti che negli ultimi vent'anni hanno attraversato in lungo e in largo svariati territori della musica improvvisata. Inutile sottolineare quindi il grande grado di coesione, l'interlplay telepatico e a tratti feroce che contraddistingue l'esibizione dell'ensemble, qui colto dal vivo nell'aprile 2007 al famoso Alchimia di Cracovia, Polonia. What About ...

The Vandermark 5 Special Edition: The Horse Jumps And The Ship Is Gone

Read "The Horse Jumps And The Ship Is Gone" reviewed by Mark Corroto


With the 16th official release by The Vandermark 5, composer/director/leader Ken Vandermark invites two guest musicians to share the stage. Norwegian pianist Håvard Wiik and Swedish trumpeter Magnus Broo are, however, no strangers to projects by the reedman and company. That familiarity yields this solid June, 2009 live date at Chicago's Green Mill.Broo, an ...

In their early days, the Vandermark 5 gave founder and reed man Ken Vandermark, the opportunity to workshop and road test fresh ideas. His writing skills have now been honed to such an extent that he is one of the most consistently inventive small group composers around, and the V5 has become one of the great ...

Conference Call: What About...?

Read "What About...?" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


It has been said that live music offers the composer the opportunity to add the final ingredient in the decoction of their creation: the audience. In the case of Conference Call's 2007 concert in Krakow, Poland, documented on the double-disc What About...?, there's the dramatic addition of completely spontaneous, improvisations by one or more of the ...

Kihnoua: Unauthorized Caprices

Read "Unauthorized Caprices" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il progetto Kihnoua di Larry Ochs, che esordisce in questo disco, è improntato alla radicale sperimentazione di elementi vocali e strumentali, sia acustici che elettronici che si fondono e interagiscono in un intenso abbraccio. L'organico di base è il trio, costituito dal sassofonista del Rova, dalla cantante coreana Dohee Lee e del batterista Scott Amendola a ...

Sabir Mateen – Frode Gjerstad: Sound Gathering

Read "Sound Gathering" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Inciso a Brooklyn nel settembre 2007, questo bell'album vede coagire due storici (per quanto appartati) alfieri della free music quali il norvegese Gierstad, classe 1948, e il neroamericano Mateen (Philadelphia, 1951), ospite l'almeno altrettanto glorioso trombonista Steve Swell, musicisti sui cui palmares incontriamo i nomi di William Parker, Cecil Taylor, Sunny Murray, Lol Coxhill, Peter Brötzmann, ...

Non hanno bisogno di presentazioni particolari, Matthew Shipp e Sabir Mateen, che il pubblico italiano ha imparato a conoscere in questi anni come due tra i più originali e generosi esponenti della scena creativa nera newyorkese, sia nei tanti progetti che gravitano intorno a William Parker, che con i rispettivi gruppi. Questo lavoro li vede duettare ...

Steve Swell: Steve Swell's Slammin' The Infinite

Read "Steve Swell's Slammin' The Infinite" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Using something that Walt Whitman said about prolific writing, trombonist Steve Swell posits that the more he creates--the more he writes and therefore performs--the more likely he is to produce something worthwhile. Although he does not mention it, this also suggests pushing the boundaries and being nonjudgmental about any of his work until he arrives at ...

Joe McPhee - Peter Brötzmann - Kent Kessler - Michael Zerang: The Damage Is Done
