Read "Naked Nudes" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

This new trio of saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, pedal steel guitarist Heather Leigh, and Fred Lonberg-Holm operating both his cello and electronics, explore the musical equivalent of microgravity. Captured as part of the saxophonist's 80th birthday celebration concerts in August 2021 in his hometown of Wuppertal, Germany, the sounds achieve a perception of levitation. Credit the suspension ...

Ada Rave / Aaron Lumley / Onno Govaert: Bioluminus

Read "Bioluminus" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

We can no longer refer to the music and creative Amsterdam scene with the title coined by author Kevin Whitehead as the New Dutch Swing. His 1998 book of the same name described the origins of the free jazz movement in The Netherlands and its now legendary masters such as Misha Mengelberg, Willem Breuker, Han Bennink, ...

François Carrier/Alexander von Schlippenbach/John Edwards/Michel Lambert: Unwalled

Read "Unwalled" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Don't you love it when a plan comes together? Even if the plan is totally improvised, as is that of Unwalled. The album is the first meeting between Canadian alto saxophonist François Carrier and German-born pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach. The free jazz pioneer Schlippenbach was the founder of the Globe Unity Orchestra back in 1966, and ...

Wasteland Jazz Ensemble: S/T

Read "S/T" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Some releases should come with a warning label. We are not talking about Tipper Gore (remember her?) Parents' Music Resource Center (PMRC) stickers warning of the dangers of ”Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society" of the late 1980s. No, the alert that should be attached to S/T by the Wasteland Jazz Ensemble might read something ...

by Giuseppe Segala

La scena della musica improvvisata nell'area germanica, molto prolifica dagli anni Sessanta dello scorso secolo, con musicisti quali Manfred Schoof, Peter Brötzmann, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Günter Sommer, trova oggi in Matthias Schriefl un degno erede, certamente un protagonista la cui personalità è in grado di reggere il confronto con quella gagliarda generazione di creativi.

Zoh Amba: Bhakti

Read "Bhakti" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

It may be an overused metaphor, but saxophonist Zoh Amba does indeed stand on the shoulders of giants. Proof of that phrase is Bhakti, a tour de force of passionate free jazz. The twenty—something artist draws on traditions born of the 1960s from artists such as Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, and Peter Brötzmann. Her ...

Peter Brötzmann / Keiji Haino Duo: The Intellect Given Birth To Here (Eternity) Is Too Young

Read "The Intellect Given Birth To Here (Eternity) Is Too Young" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Forgiveness requested for referring to a lyric from Bruce Springsteen's composition “The Promised Land" to describe this duo recording by Peter Brötzmann and Keiji Haino: “There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor/I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm/Gonna be a twister to blow everything down/That ain't got the faith to ...
