Paolo Fresu - A Filetta Corsican Voices - Daniele Di Bonaventura: Mistico Mediterraneo
by AAJ Italy Staff
A Filetta è il gruppo vocale che più di ogni altro, da trent'anni, porta avanti la prosecuzione e lo sviluppo del canto a cappella tradizionale della Corsica. Prosecuzione, perché è nella lunga tradizione isolana che si radica la tecnica vocale e la proposta poetica di A Filetta, nato infatti nel 1978 come gruppo di musica tradizionale; ...
Boris Savoldelli: Biocosmopolitan
by Glenn Astarita
The polyphonic vocal expertise of Italian artist Boris Savoldelli alters implications for the proverbial one-man band format. Although he receives assistance from revered session bassist/solo artist Jimmy Haslip, and some additional help from trumpeter Paolo Fresu--both appearing on selected tracks--it is Savoldelli who propagates the mesmeric performances. The vocalist uses electronics and voice overlays, ...

Being an Italian album, it seems ...
Boris Savoldelli: Biocosmopolitan
by Mark Redlefsen
What a contrast Boris Savoldelli's Biocosmopolitan is to the vocalist's predecessor, Protoplasmic (MoonJune Records, 2009), which featured guitarist Elliot Sharp as his chief collaborator. While Protoplasmic was a brave dive into the experimental, Biocosmopolitan is a bright, infectious and singable work. The right balance of passion, delivery, and technology come together for 16 enjoyable tracks with ...
AA.VV.: Jazz al dente
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'idea che sta alla base di questo doppio CD è molto prossima alla genialità: scovare quattordici artisti (o gruppi) disposti a cedere un loro brano per il primo dei due dischetti, e una ricetta (declinandola in prima persona) per il secondo. Sul piano musicale, magari, la forbice - stilistica, ma forse soprattutto di valori - è ...
Paolo Fresu / A Filetta Corsican Voices / Daniele di Bonaventura: Mistico Mediterraneo
by John Kelman
At a time when cross-pollination has become the new musical evolution, ECM Records remains at the vanguard. Whether blending music of Tunisian origins with European impressionistic concerns and hints of New World groove on oudist Anouar Brahem's The Astounding Eyes of Rita (2009), or marrying Persian percussion with Baroque instrumentation and Fourth World improvisation on keyboardist ...
