Avanti o indietro?
by Alberto Bazzurro
La più o meno contigua uscita di reperti d'epoca di Jarrett, Osborne e Soft Machine ci induce a una disamina a largo raggio su cos'era e verso dove si muoveva il jazz, pur inteso in senso lato, nell'epoca in cui tanti ragazzi provenienti dal rock più o meno progressivo vi confluivano a frotte. Cercando anche di ...
Michael Mantler: The Jazz Composer's Orchestra (Update)
by Alberto Bazzurro
All'indomani dei suoi settant'anni, compiuti il 10 agosto 2013, Michael Mantler ha voluto farsi (e farci) un grande regalo: ha “occupato" per tre sere (30/31 agosto e 1 settembre) il Porgy & Bess di Vienna con una venticinquina di musicisti al seguito e ha ridato voce alle partiture, debitamente rivedute e corrette, che quarantacinque anni prima ...

Mike Osborne: Dawn
by Bruce Lindsay
Alto saxophonist Mike Osborne's career was relatively short--barely 20 years between his first gigs with the pioneering Mike Westbrook Band and his retirement from the music scene because of mental health problems in 1982. His discography is lengthy, but albums as leader are rare. Dawn draws together recordings from three relatively early sessions in Osborne's career--early, ...

2014: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
The year 2014 turned out to be a year noteworthy for its numbers. Newport turned 60, Blue Note turned 75, International Jazz Day's third edition featured 900 events in more than 190 countries. The jazz world lost seven of its NEA Jazz Masters, and New Orleans trumpeter Lionel Ferbos died at 103. Sad but not unexpected, ...
konstruKt and Joe McPhee: Babylon: The First Meeting of Istanbul
by Dave Wayne
Taken at face value, konstruKt's catchphrase, “Free Jazz from Turkey," seems a tad pedestrian. But, if one considers Turkey's place in the world-literally the crossing point between Asia and Europe-its crazy-quilt ethnic diversity, and its continued religious and political unrest, it's a fitting metaphor. Oddly, most of the band's recorded output features invited guest artists from ...
Ben Sidran: The First Existential Jazz Rapper
by Joan Gannij
Ben Sidran is an old school hipster in the authentic sense of the word. He's a no frills, musician's musician who's got the heart, got the chops. He's been there, done that, and ready to do more. Sidran has never been interested in following trends or squeezing into categories and is not about to start now. ...

The result is Live 1970, by Nucleus With Leon Thomas, a beautifully produced, ...
