Paul Bley - Kresten Osgood: Florida

Read "Florida" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Basterebbe un solo ascolto di “Darkness”, la prima traccia, per lasciare senza fiato chiunque decida di avvicinarsi al presente lavoro: due minuti e mezzo sospesi tra silenzio ed emozione, un autentico distillato di sobrietà, commozione e inventiva. Chi segue Paul Bley fin dai tempi del leggendario Open to Love (anno di grazia 1972), sa benissimo a ...

Paul Bley: Solo in Mondsee

Read "Solo in Mondsee" reviewed by Budd Kopman

Paul Bley / Kresten Osgood: Florida

Read "Florida" reviewed by Troy Collins


"Without Paul Bley, there would be no Keith Jarrett" is conventional jazz wisdom perhaps, but worth repeating. Bley's expansive and unfettered approach to the keyboard (acoustic and electric) has provided a viable alternative for generations of artists seeking a creative path beyond the kinetic tendencies of Bley's principle peer, Cecil Taylor. Bley, now 75, ...

Paul Bley: Turning Points

Read "Paul Bley: Turning Points" reviewed by Andrey Henkin


In the pantheon of jazz, certain players are spoken of as upholding or continuing a particular lineage while others are given their own chapter in the book--their body of work something for others to uphold and continue. Paul Bley is one of the latter, a pianist who for over 50 years has participated in every stylistic ...
