Mette Rasmussen/Chris Corsano: All The Ghosts At Once

Read "All The Ghosts At Once" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto
July 18, 2015

Today's hypothesis states that all free jazz improvisation demands the musicians maintain the music's vigor like a juggler, to all appearances, keeping all the balls in the air at once. Proof of this theory is the opening piece “Train Track" from alto saxophonist Mette Rasmussen and drummer Chris Corsano's release All The Ghosts At Once. The ...

Lacerda / Manso / Nilssen-Love / Zenicola: Bota Fogo

July 8, 2015

There are secrets revealed and the true identities of musicians often emerge, not under the guidance of a music producer, but within the allegiances they form as they freelance around the world. Take Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love, for instance. Early (very early) in his career he (and bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten) backed players like Bugge Wesseltoft, ...

Fred Lonberg-Holm/Ken Vandermark: Resistance

May 25, 2015

When you consider all the musicians that have recorded duos with cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, it sounds kind of like the SPAM Monty Python sketch comedy piece. “Yes, I'll have some Fred Lonberg-Holm and Ken Vandermark." What, you don't want Fred Lonberg-Holm and Axel Dörner, or Fred Lonberg-Holm and Mats Gustafsson, or Fred Lonberg-Holm and Peter Brotzmann, ...

Peter Brotzmann/Keiji Haino/Jim O'Rourke: Two City Blues 2

Read "Two City Blues 2" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto
May 4, 2015

The music of legendary jazz saxophonist Peter Brötzmann is at its finest when the great man has something to push against. Typically these performances find him collaborating with drummers like Hamid Drake, Paal Nilssen-Love, Steve Noble, or Nasheet Waits. The music is built upon a power-versus-power formula. The drummer bloodies his nose, and he's off--throwing roundhouse ...

Zanussi 5: Live in Coimbra

Nato a Oslo nel 1977 ma con un papà che sicuramente norvegese non è (e che quasi sicuramente non ha nemmeno a che fare con il famoso marchio di costruttori di cucine italiche), l'energetico contrabbassista italo-norvegese ha avuto la buona idea di registrare i propri interventi live tenuti il 31 maggio e il 1° giugno 2013 ...

Atomic: Lucidity

Read "Lucidity" reviewed by Troy Collins

March 28, 2015

Living up to their name in performance and on record, the all-star Norwegian quintet Atomic challenges preconceived notions regarding the stereotypically introspective nature of Nordic jazz. Inspired by the unbridled spirit of 1960s American “Fire Music" and the post-war school of European free improvisation, Atomic eclipses the meditative lyricism of influential local legends like Jan Garbarek ...

Anthony Braxton, Tomas Fujiwara, Tom Rainey: Trio (New Haven) 2013

Read "Trio (New Haven) 2013" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala
March 9, 2015

L'abbinamento spericolato di ance e batteria rappresenta uno dei motivi più penetranti del jazz contemporaneo e continua a essere praticato con pregnanza a abbondanza: se i lavori recenti di Roscoe Mitchell con Tyshawn Sorey e Mike Reed ne disegnano l'aspetto più metafisico e astratto, le numerose escursioni di Ken Vandermark con Paal Nilssen-Love tracciano percorsi audaci ...

Marzo. Sbocciano i festival e le rassegne. Un mese di concerti per tutti i palati, non c'è che l'imbarazzo della scelta per chi ha fame di jazz. Quindi non perdiamo altro tempo e passiamo ai consigli. Che al solito premiano solo e soltanto il meglio del meglio. 8 Marzo--Milano. Intrigante e stimolante. Il ...
