Andrew Cyrille Quartet: The Declaration of Musical Independence

By MARK SULLIVAN

Drummer Andrew Cyrille is probably best known for his long association with the avant-garde pianist Cecil Taylor. He has previously appeared on ECM and Watt albums by saxophonist Marion Brown (Afternoon of a Georgia Faun, 1970), Carla Bley (European Tour 1977, 1978), The Jazz Composer's Orchestra (originally on JCOA, 1968), and most recently on Ben Monder's ...

Sara Serpa & André Matos: All The Dreams

By DAN BILAWSKY

There may be no combination better capable of painting and promoting aural iridescence than that of vocalist Sara Serpa and guitarist André Matos. The work they've produced together, both on their first duo album--Primavera (Inner Circle Music, 2014)--and on this alluring outing, pits consistency against the transient nature of sonic coloration in understated yet spectacular fashion. ...

Ben Monder: Amorphae

By MARIO CALVITTI

Ben Monder è un chitarrista difficile da catalogare, per via di uno stile che concede poco o nulla alla tradizione, e una ricerca su suoni e timbri che, pur se talvolta lo avvicina a Bill Frisell, è portata avanti in una maniera personale e originale che lo distingue da altri sperimentatori come David Torn. Il suo ...

Ben Monder: Amorphae

By JOHN KELMAN

Having made his first--and, up to now, only--appearance on Munich's lauded ECM Records on the late drummer Paul Motian's Garden of Eden (2006), it's certainly taken a long time for the virtuosically talented guitarist to get a date of his own. Monder's résumé--while filled with significant associations including, in addition to Motian, composer/bandleader Maria Schneider, double ...

Ben Monder: Amorphae

By MARK SULLIVAN

Veteran guitarist Ben Monder is at his most experimental and atmospheric in this collection of largely improvised performances, his sixth album as a leader, and his first for ECM. The genesis of the album came from Monder's 2010 duet sessions with Paul Motian, sadly abbreviated by the legendary drummer's passing. Motian fans can surely be forgiven ...

Nate Radley: Morphoses

By DAN BILAWSKY

There are guitarists out there who seek to burn an impression of their work into ears and minds, and there are others who manage to make an impression simply by being themselves. Nate Radley falls into the second category. His music isn't forceful, but it still manages to make an impact. On Morphoses, ...

Christopher Alpiar Quartet: The Jazz Expression

By AAJ ITALY STAFF

Il riferimento chiaro, netto, colmo di rispetto e di incondizionato amore (l'indizio contenuto nel titolo della quarta traccia è del tutto superfluo) è il quartetto periodo Impulse! di John Coltrane. In The Jazz Expression troviamo quindi musica di grande intensità, sorretta da un potente afflato spirituale, da un ribollire di emozioni che coprono l'intera gamma del ...
