by AAJ Italy Staff

PREMESSA 2010 La prima volta che ho visto Peter Kowald era seduto al ristorante. Erano i primi di settembre del 2000 ed era una delle rare volte in cui, come si suol dire, “la montagna andava a Maometto," perché il musicista era per qualche giorno al Lido di Venezia, a un minuto da casa mia, ospite ...

Tatsuya Nakatani: Essences and Abiogenesis

Read "Tatsuya Nakatani: Essences and Abiogenesis" reviewed by Clifford Allen

by Clifford Allen

What is improvised music without visuality?

Kadima Collective

Read "Kadima Collective" reviewed by Stuart Broomer

by Stuart Broomer

When you first come across the recordings on Kadima Collective, a couple of things stand out. The first is that the label, devoted to free improvisation, is based in Israel; secondly, there's a good chance that the CD will feature a bassist, often one of substantial international stature, like Barre Phillips, Mark Dresser or Joëlle Léandre. ...
