Alexander von Schlippenbach / Globe Unity Orchestra: Globe Unity - 50 Years

Read "Globe Unity - 50 Years" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach's Globe Unity Orchestra (GUO) employs a similar head-scratching process to that utilized to make geuze, a much-treasured Belgian beer. Both elicit the “how did they do that?" question, and both seem to be a gift from Mother Nature. Schlippenbach brings together a choice assemblage of improvisers, like the ingredients of guesze (wheat ...

Florian Stoffner, Paul Lovens, Rudi Mahall: Mein Freund der Baum

Read "Mein Freund der Baum" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Svizzero, classe 1975, Florian Stoffner è il primo firmatario del disco di cui ci occupiamo, che lo vede interagire col cinquantunenne clarinettista tedesco Rudi Mahall e con un'autentica icona della free improvisation europea, Paul Lovens, in un lavoro che appunto l'aleatorietà più esplicita ed eloquente pratica senza mezzi termini. Con tutto il corollario di rito (perché ...

Evan Parker

Read "Evan Parker" reviewed by John Eyles


In his biography of Robert Wyatt, Different Every Time (Serpent's Tail, 2015), author Marcus O'Dair describes Evan Parker as “perhaps the finest British free-jazz saxophonist of his generation." The only words in that phrase that seasoned Parker followers might take issue with are “perhaps," “British" and “free-jazz," preferring just to describe him as the finest improvising ...

Anemone: A Wing Dissolved In Light

Read "A Wing Dissolved In Light" reviewed by John Sharpe


Meetings of peripatetic improvisers form regular occurrences in these straitened times, but by uniting a quintet of musicians from three continents, each from different countries, Anemone takes the custom to extremes. Of course free improvisation provides a touchstone which transcends any cultural or language differences. Perhaps the surprise comes in realizing that A Wing Dissolved In ...

Schlippenbach Trio: Warsaw Concert

Read "Warsaw Concert" reviewed by John Sharpe


There can't be too many outfits still going strong after 44 years, especially with an unchanged roster. But that's exactly the situation German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach faces with his trio of countryman Paul Lovens on the drum stool and the legendary Evan Parker on tenor saxophone, give or take an occasional bassist. As a consequence ...

La discografia completa di Gianni Lenoci

Read "La discografia completa di Gianni Lenoci" reviewed by Donatello Tateo


Gianni Lenoci (Monopoli, 6/6/1963), pianista, compositore, didatta, performer multimediale ed artista visuale, è personalità artistica inquieta e sperimentatrice, come evidenziato dalla ormai pluridecennale corrispondenza empatica con alcuni compagni di avventure (in particolare Steve Potts, Kent Carter, Gianni Mimmo), e dal suo progetto Hocus Pocus, gruppo a geometria variabile dal trio fino alla dimensione orchestrale.

Read "Schlippenbach Trio al Centro d'Arte Padova" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Schlippenbach Trio Cinema Torresino Padova 29.04.2016 Poteva far esplodere i fuochi d'artificio, navigare sulle ali dell'effetto nostalgia, piazzarti sul muso i suoi quarant'anni di storia, e che storia, come forse nessun'altra formazione al mondo può vantare, e via pedalare. Invece lo Schlippenbach Trio ha regalato un concerto di rara misura, rigore ...
