Atomic al Carambolage, Bolzano
by Giuseppe Segala
Piccolo Teatro Carambolage Bolzano 14.04.2014 Quando si pensa alla scena scandinava, l'associazione mentale va subito a musicisti che percorrono le strade delle atmosfere soffici, levigate, spesso con melodie evocative, dalle tinte sfumate e leggere. Spesso poco stimolanti. Oppure ci si riferisce alla ricca scena degli esploratori elettronici, che specialmente in Norvegia annovera ...
Dave Rempis / Lasse Marhaug: Naancore
by Eyal Hareuveni
Naancore adds another chapter to the Chicago-Oslo musical axis. This limited edition LP (offered also as a digital download) brings together one of the most original Norwegian musicians, noise master Lasse Marhaug with one of Chicago's most active saxophonists Dave Rempis. The two like-minded, fearless musicians collaborated before in Ken Vandermark's Territory Band, when Marhaug guested ...
The Young Mothers: A Mothers Work Is Never Done
by Mark Corroto
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten reminds us that jazz is the musical equivalent of a dark star, a musical black hole, absorbing all musical energy and classifications. The Norwegian-born bassist-turned Austin, TX resident assembled a multi-genre sextet under the uncategorizable name The Young Mothers. Sure, let's not call this jazz, because it would alienate 99% of fans. But ...
Dave Rempis / Lasse Marhaug: Naancore
by Mark Corroto
When you've been through the desert on a horse with no name, as the 1971 song by the band America goes, it feels good to be out of the rain. Indeed, music crafted outside of genres and categories often evokes that horse with no name. This duo by Chicago saxophonist Dave Rempis and Oslo electronics/noise artist ...
Albatre: A Descent into the Maelstrom
by Eyal Hareuveni
Albatre is a Pan-European trio based in Rotterdam, comprised of two Portuguese living in this city--alto saxophonist Hugo Costa and bassist Gonçalo Almeida, member of the Portuguese Lama Trio--joined by German drummer Philipp Ernsting. The trio's debut offers its schizoid vision of free jazz on metal and punk steroids with electronic sonic neurosis. Albatre's aesthetics stick ...
Peter Brötzmann / Peeter Uuskyla: Dead And Useless
by Mark Corroto
Nothing new, just better. Let me rephrase that, Dead And Useless is not a new recording by saxophonist Peter Brötzmann and drummer Peeter Uuskyla, it was taken from the 2006 Born Broke (Atavistic, 2008) session and was the second disc of a 2-CD set. It is, though, remastered here as a loving vinyl release (somewhere Mats ...
Motherfucker: Mother
by Eyal Hareuveni
Motherfucker is a new Danish trio headed by young reed player Henrik Pultz Melbye that aims to fuse the raw, angry and fiery free jazz of Peter Brötzmann, circa Machine Gun (FMP, 1968) with an aggressive metal attack and punk attitude. Melbye plays in another Danish group that explores the same aesthetics, SVIN, but in a ...
John Russell / Ståle Liavik Solberg: No Step
by Mark Corroto
Like a pair of jugglers, free improvising musicians John Russell and Ståle Liavik Solberg excel at keeping multiple objects in the air and in constant motion. No Step is a brief recording from May 2013, and although clocking in at just 33-minutes, the session leaves the impression these two connect with each other at multiple junctures. ...
