Gianni Lenoci / Kent Carter / Bill Elgart: Plaything

Read "Plaything" reviewed by John Sharpe


Italian pianist Gianni Lenoci forms one apex of a trio with almost unlimited collective nous on Plaything. There are main two reasons for that: Kent Carter on bass and Bill Elgart on drums, both veterans of the 1964 October Revolution in Jazz, who have since carved niches for themselves in Europe. Carter 's early exposure arrived ...

Giovanni Guidi: This Is the Day

Read "This Is the Day" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Dopo City of Broken Dreams, edito sempre dalla ECM all'inizio del 2013, ecco il secondo disco del trio di Giovanni Guidi. All'ascolto di This Is the Day, registrato nell'aprile 2014 da Stefano Amerio, uno dei tecnici oggi prediletti da Manfred Eicher e non solo, si ha la precisa sensazione di trovarsi di fronte ad un'operazione tipicamente ...

Adam Berenson: Lumen

Read "Lumen" reviewed 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 ...

Gefion

Read "Gefion" reviewed by John Kelman


It's been a long time coming. Jakob Bro made his first ECM appearance as a member of drummer Paul Motian's twin-sax/triple-guitar band on the late drummer's Garden of Eden (2006). Three more years passed before he returned, this time as a member of Tomasz Stanko's trans-European quintet on 2009's Dark Eyes--a group that evolved considerably from ...

Mario Pavone: Street Songs

Read "Street Songs" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Mario Pavone ha un posto centrale nella musica creativa statunitense, avendo suonato con alcuni dei più importanti innovatori degli ultimi cinquant'anni--come Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith e Marty Ehrlich--e avendo avuto sodalizi stabili prima con Paul Bley, poi con Bill Dixon e infine con il compianto Thomas Chapin. Dopo la morte di quest'ultimo, con il quale ...

Jakob Bro: Gefion

Read "Jakob Bro: Gefion" reviewed by Henning Bolte


Gefion, Danish guitarist Jakob Bro's ECM-debut as leader, is a fascinating reinvention of melodicism. His music leads listeners deep into the rich resonances emerging from brilliantly simple melodic motifs imbued with seductive atmospheres. Like Möbius strips his music's lines wind seemingly endlessly. Its evocative melodic nuclei very often reach the lower limits of dynamics, thereby opening ...

Paul Giallorenzo's Git Go: Force Majeure

Read "Force Majeure" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Pur essendo assai attivo sulla scena di Chicago non solo come pianista e compositore per teatro, danza, cinema ma anche come promotore culturale e creatore di eventi, Paul Giallorenzo è figura poco nota al di fuori dei patri confini. Pianista che fonde in uno stile originale la lezione di Thelonious Monk con quella di Cecil Taylor, ...
