Albert Ayler: Live Greenwich Village to Love Cry Revisited
by Giuseppe Segala
Nel 1996, quando fu pubblicata la prima edizione della sua biografia dedicata ad Albert Ayler, Spirits Rejoice!, il contrabbassista e musicologo tedesco Peter Niklas Wilson scriveva nella prefazione: “La sua musica resta controversa: per alcuni fu un profeta, per altri un ciarlatano. (...) Ayler resta oggi tanto controverso quanto esile è la base per una discussione ...
Elisabeth Harnik / Zlatko Kaučič: One Foot In The Air
by John Sharpe
Most jazz lovers will likely remember an occasion when the musicians played as if their lives depended on it to an almost empty room. Judging from the applause, the audience on 14 June 2022 at Kulturhalle Eggersdorf in Austria was not the biggest, but those present were lucky enough to witness a veritable feast of improvised ...
Florian Weber: Imaginary Cycle
by Alberto Bazzurro
Una musica molto composta--nella doppia accezione--suddivisa su quattro suites centrali più un prologo e un epilogo, è quanto ci giunge da questo nuovo lavoro, certamente ambizioso, del quarantasettenne pianista e compositore tedesco Florian Weber, già allievo di John Taylor a Colonia, Joanne Brackeen e Paul Bley a Boston, Richie Beirach e Lee Konitz a New York. ...

by Mario Calvitti

Questo nuovo album rappresenta ...
Thelonius Garcia: Marche Nocturne
by Dan McClenaghan
The first name Thelonious--does it come from the word theology? Is a parent giving a newborn a form of divinity with the appellation? This is speculation; the answer is up in the air, but the most famous Thelonious is Thelonious Sphere Monk, one of the brightest of jazz stars to emerge in the age of bebop. ...
Keith Jarrett: The Old Country: More from the Deer Head Inn
by Jack Kenny
Keith Jarrett remarked as he listened to a tape of the session: “I think that you can hear on this tape, what jazz is all about." What did he mean? Was he reacting to criticisms of his long-form improvisations? Was it because he was in a small venue that prioritized jazz? Of course, you ...

Top Ten Sci-Fi Jazz Albums
by Chris May
On The Launch Pad Robert Frosch, head honcho at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from 1977 to 1981, wrote that at cocktail parties he was sometimes asked whether NASA had some gizmo or other that had recently been brought to fictional life in a sci-fi book or movie.
