Sabir Mateen – Frode Gjerstad: Sound Gathering

Read "Sound Gathering" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

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, ...

Steve Swell: Steve Swell's Slammin' The Infinite

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

Although he does not mention it, this also suggests pushing the boundaries and being nonjudgmental about any of his work until he arrives at ...

Dagli inizi al sax baritono in gruppi di rhythm n' blues all'esperienza con Jaky Byard, di tempo ne è passato, ma Michael Marcus continua ancora a sorprederci. Cambia strumento (in questo disco si dedica solo al clarinetto), ma la sua statura artistica resta invariata, con un ampia possibilità espressiva che prende a prestito da tutta la ...
