100nka and Herb Robertson: Superdesert
by Jerry D'Souza
How much shit can one take? Well that depends. If it is being served by the quirky Polish trio 100nka--featuring guitarist Tomek Leś, bassist Adam Stodolski and percussionist Przemek Borowiecki--there may not be quite enough. Their music is rather undefinable, jumping and sneaking as it does into odd nooks and crannies. Much of it comes from ...
Vandermark 5: Annular Gift
by Troy Collins
Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader Ken Vandermark has led his flagship ensemble, the Vandermark 5, through a decade's worth of personnel changes. Despite the band's rotating roster, the ensemble's sound has remained remarkably consistent. A powerhouse unit capable of serene delicacy as well as unfettered intensity, the quintet has won a legion of fans the world over ...
The Vandermark 5: Annular Gift
by Mark Corroto
The Vandermark 5's Annular Gift is its most accessible and swinging recording to date. Recorded live (one reason) in Krakow, Poland, the quintet has come together (reason two) as a true aggregate of players. This is their fifteenth official release (there have been some CD-Rs and compilation discs) and third for the Polish label Not Two. ...
Joe Morris: Fine Objects
by Mark Corroto
Guitarist Joe Morris continues his 2002 experimentation with the double-bass. On Fine Objects, he leads a trio of saxophone, bass, and drums through two of his own compositions, a couple of trio improvisations, and other compositions by Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, Larry Clinton and Petr Cancura. Morris chose two former students from the New ...
Whit Dickey / Daniel Carter / Eri Yamamoto: Emergence
by John Sharpe
When the collective of drummer Whit Dickey, pianist Eri Yamamoto, and horn player Daniel Carter held sway at the Vision Festival in June 2009 they built tension to unbearable levels that built up to a cathartic resolution. On their first disc together, recorded in the studio four months prior to their Festival triumph, they program eight ...
Gebhard Ullmann Basement Research: Don't Touch My Music Vol. 2
by Jerry D'Souza
When Gebhard Ullmann took his Basement Research into Krakow 's Alchemia Club to celebrate his 50th birthday, he recorded two sets of music. The first was released as Don't Touch My Music, Vol. 1. Like the first, this second set is unedited and unchanged, and shows just how intuitive and empathic the band is. Ullmann's compositions ...
Gebhard Ullmann: Don't Touch My Music voll.1 & 2
by AAJ Italy Staff
La Not Two è una label polacca che oltre a testimoniare il meglio del jazz autoctono dedica grande attenzione alla musica creativa proveniente dal resto dell'Europa e, soprattutto, da Oltreoceano.

Jim Hobbs: The Story of Mankind
by AAJ Italy Staff
Musicista dell'area di Boston, Jim Hobbs, come tanti prima di lui e molti che verranno, meriterebbe più attenzioni di quelle che riceve. Chi scrive ne incrociò l'acidissimo contralto in un Silkheart di qualche anno fa, licenziato a nome della Fully Celebrated Orchestra [Orchestra si fa per dire, visto che in realtà si trattava di un trio ...
Satoko Fujii: Heat Wave
by AAJ Italy Staff
In questo decennio Satoko Fujii s'è imposta come una delle personalità artistiche più originali, complete ed eclettiche della scena musicale internazionale. La sua creatività è a dir poco prorompente (come dimostra un corpus discografico di oltre trenta opere) ed ogni lavoro manifesta singolare magnetismo e forza di coinvolgimento, toccando l'ascoltatore nel profondo come raramente accade oggi. ...
Steve Swell's Rivers of Sound Ensemble: News from the Mystic Auricle
by Jeff Stockton
Journeys. Greek religious artifacts. Oracles that send into the mystic. Trombonist Steve Swell and his Rivers of Sound Ensemble direct its stream-of- consciousness improvisations toward the deepest sea of musical inspiration it can find. Swell's Slammin' the Infinite piano-less quartet has been expanded before--on Live @ the Vision Festival (Not Two, 2007), when ...
