Sant'anna Arresi Quintet By Evan Parker: Filu ‘E Ferru
by Mark Corroto
The differences between British free jazz and American is an often debated subject. Certainly in the 1960s, at the genesis of free playing, the ocean's divide between continents was easily identifiable. The African and African/American tradition of Jazz informed the experiments of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, John Coltrane, and Anthony Braxton, while the UK players ...
Gard Nilssen's Acoustic Unity: Firehouse
by Giuseppe Segala
Disco intelligente, compatto nell'ispirazione e nella durata, Firehouse presenta il trio Acoustic Unity del batterista norvegese Gard Nilssen. Un disco impostato su un free dalle tinte moderate, che comunica immediata freschezza, fluidità, coesione di gruppo. Ben impostato su una durata umanamente accessibile per chi ascolta, denota anche sotto questo aspetto la capacità di sintetizzare idee, di ...
Live From Birmingham: Partisans, Rascals Of Rhythm, Amok Amor, John McEntire & Schneider Kacirek
by Martin Longley
Partisans Wolverhampton Arena Theatre November 14, 2015 Partisans have now been playing together for two decades, in a completely unchanging four-piece configuration. Bonds have been formed, lines have intertwined, rapport greases repertoire negotiation, and comfort encourages greater risk-taking. The band made several comments about savouring the Arena Theatre's vibrations, ...
Amok Amor al Club Sudwerk di Bolzano
by Giuseppe Segala
Club Sudwerk Bolzano 18.11.2015 La tromba funambolica di Peter Evans ha incrociato la batteria rutilante di Christian Lillinger nel trio Amok Amor, già attivo e apprezzato sulla scena berlinese, facendo nascere vere e proprie scintille. La scorsa estate il quartetto, completato dal contrabbassista Peter Eldh e dal sassofonista alto Wanja Slavin, ...

Rodrigo Amado: This Is Our Language
by John Sharpe
The title of Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado's latest offering pays unmistakable homage to the late Ornette Coleman. This Is Our Music (Atlantic, 1961) constituted one of Ornette's uncompromising early manifestos, while In All Languages (Caravan of Dreams, 1987) served to reveal both the differences and the similarities between his classic quartet and the electric Prime Time ...
Mats Gustafsson & Nu Ensemble: Hidros 6: Knockin'
by John Sharpe
An avant-garde jazz composition based on the songs of '50s rocker Little Richard. Really? Yep, that's the premise behind Swedish reedman Mats Gustafsson's large scale work recorded at the Krakow Jazz Autumn in 2013. Although best known for his small group output with The Thing and Fire!, Gustafsson has regularly assembled bigger groupings during his career, ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Mauch Chunk
by Troy Collins
Any concerns that a personnel change would affect the mercurial disposition of the “terrorist bebop band" known as Mostly Other People Do the Killing have been confirmed as unfounded by Mauch Chunk, the wily ensemble's eighth studio recording for Hot Cup Records. Trumpeter Peter Evans, an original member since the core quartet's founding in 2003, left ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Mauch Chunk
by Mark Sullivan
Mostly Other People Do the Killing, the bad boys of jazz, don't quite turn in a straight ahead hard bop album with Mauch Chunk, but it's as close as they are likely to get. The new quartet has pianist Ron Stabinsky in place of longtime trumpeter Peter Evans--which seems to ground the group sound--and there's less ...
Poker di Jon Irabagon
by Stefano Merighi
Il jazz di oggi è sicuramente policentrico, continuando in questo la sua stratificata tradizione. Sempre più spazio trovano artisti americani di origini diverse. Tra essi, il sassofonista Jon Irabagon (sangue filippino) è emerso da un decennio con una forza dirompente, conseguenza di una preparazione enciclopedica, tradotta abilmente in un'ampia gamma di situazioni sonore.
