Avanti o indietro?
by Alberto Bazzurro
La più o meno contigua uscita di reperti d'epoca di Jarrett, Osborne e Soft Machine ci induce a una disamina a largo raggio su cos'era e verso dove si muoveva il jazz, pur inteso in senso lato, nell'epoca in cui tanti ragazzi provenienti dal rock più o meno progressivo vi confluivano a frotte. Cercando anche di ...
Bastandards: Plays Jazz
by Neri Pollastri
Plays Jazz è la registrazione live di un concerto del trio Bastandards, tenutosi nell'agosto del 2012 a San Nicola Arcella, nel cosentino. Il trio, composto dalla chitarra di Marco Magnelli, dal contrabbasso di Carlo Cimino e dalla batteria di Francesco Cusa, lavora appunto esclusivamente su standard, ancorché selezionati in modo radicale: in scaletta infatti ci sono ...
A Fireside Chat With Chris Potter
by AAJ Staff
This article was originally published in December 2001.I remember first seeing Chris Potter playing with Paul Motian and most recently with the highly regarded Dave Holland Quintet. His improvement in the two or so years time is nothing short of remarkable. I can only compare his development with Scott Colley, who happens (and not ...
Samo Salamon Bassless Trio: Little River
by Dan Bilawsky
To call guitarist Samo Salamon prolific would be something of an understatement. Over the past decade Salamon has released more than fifteen albums, most of which document different cross-cultural trio and quartet explorations. His discography includes albums like Two Hours (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2006), a rhythm-plus-horn date with left-of-center players like tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby ...
Zhenya Strigalev's Smiling Organizm: Robin Goodie
by Dan Bilawsky
Saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev's Smiling Organizm is an outfit that grooves, sputters, stutters, swings, skulks, and slaloms its way through the dark and funky, slick and dangerous, and wholly gripping music presented on Robin Goodie. Strigalev paints striking, rhythmically vivacious canvases here with some help from five American heavyweights--trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, drummer Eric Harland, ...

Merzbow/Mats Gustafsson/Balázs Pándi/Thurston Moore: Cuts of Guilt, Cuts Deeper
by Mark Corroto
The Cuts Quartet is a sort of assembled supergroup. But we are not talking Traveling Wilburys or Audioslave here. Groups where the sum is certainly less than the parts. No, the amalgam of Japanese noise artist Merzbow (aka Masami Akita), Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson (Fire! Orchestra, The Thing), American guitarist Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), and Hungarian ...
Adam Berenson: Lumen
by Karl Ackermann
More than forty years ago, Harry Nillson coined the phrase “A point in every direction is the same as no point at all" and as an axiom it has stood the test of time very well. However, Adam Berenson topples the adage with his unlimited imagination and a refined command of weaving multiple genres and sub-genres ...
Free Nelson Mandoomjazz: Awakening of a Capital
by Mario Calvitti
Questo trio di musicisti scozzesi, basato in Edinburgo, è salito recentemente alla ribalta con due EP pubblicati da una etichetta indipendente, con titoli che rimandavano esplicitamente a Ornette Coleman (The Shape of Doomjazz to Come) e Sonny Rollins (Saxophone Giganticus), e una musica che ai riferimenti jazzistici aggiungeva quelli a Black Sabbath e Domenico Scarlatti, mescolando ...
Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter
by Mark Corroto
Chris Lightcap is a bassist's bassist. As a sideman to leaders such as Regina Carter, Matt Wilson, Joe Morris, Marc Ribot, and Craig Taborn, his rock-solid timekeeping can be quite inconspicuous. He is a sort of steadfast superglue that leaders and composers hold in high regard. As a leader and composer, there is another ...
