Iskra 1903: Goldsmiths
by AAJ Italy Staff
Si deve alla passione e alla tenacia di Martin Davidson la pubblicazione postuma di questo concerto, tenuto al londinese Goldsmiths College nel 1972 dal trio Iskra 1903, all'epoca composto da Paul Rutherford, Derek Bailey e Barry Guy. Come le precedenti incisioni del gruppo edite dalla Emanem (Chapter One e Buzz Soundtrack) anche questo CD non suona ...
Freeform in the U.K.
by Sammy Stein
Freeform and improvised jazz is having a hard time at the moment. Venues have to make tough choices between pleasing what is a smaller cohort of customers and bringing new, maybe transient, but paying clients who are attracted by big names, standards and music they know.

Paul Rutherford & George Haslam with the Samuli Mikkonen Trio: Raahe '99
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo CD pubblicato dalla etichetta britannica Slam, è una splendida esemplificazione della teoria per la quale molta della musica improvvisata contemporanea possegga un immediato “bollino" di qualità quando, accanto al protagonista della performance (chiunque esso sia), troviamo una sezione ritmica nordica. In più, il CD, rappresenta un documento davvero prezioso capace di testimoniare ancora una volta, ...

He arrived in Britain in 1951 with Ozzie Da Costa's band, which was en route for an engagement in Germany playing US army bases. Much to his erstwhile boss's ...
Iskra 1903: Goldsmiths
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Iskra is the name of a group comprised of ingenious British improvising musicians on the very edge what is idiomatically modern. Iskra is Russian for “spark," and also happens to have been the name of the paper that Lenin edited before the Russian Revolution. Add to the equation Goldsmiths, a venue for their breathless, expressive music. ...

Iskra 1903: Goldsmiths
by John Eyles
The years 2010 and 2011 have already been a bumper period for re-releases of '70s improvised music--notably Emanem's Teatime and Life amid the artefacts--plus unreleased Derek Bailey (on More 74, Concert in Milwaukee and Scrutables). Now, after some delay, comes Goldsmiths, which could well be the pick of the bunch. It consists of a 67-minute live ...
