Rhodri Davies / Michel Doneda / Louisa Martin / Phil Minton / Lee Patterson: Midhopestones

Read "Midhopestones" reviewed by John Eyles


This album was recorded in January 2009 in the church of St. James the Lesser, in the village of Midhopestones near Sheffield, South Yorkshire--hence, its intriguingly uplifting title (incidentally, its track titles refer to other villages or features nearby). Maybe that recording location explains the sense of tranquility and beauty that pervades the music here. It ...

Boris Savoldelli / Elliott Sharp: Protoplasmic

Read "Protoplasmic" reviewed by Nic Jones


Boris Savoldelli doesn't even occupy the same rarefied territory as Phil Minton when it comes to free vocalizing. Instead, he carves out his own niche through his use of various electronic manipulations. However, it's guitarist Elliott Sharp's input that makes all the difference on Protoplasmic. “Prelude To Biocosmo Pt. One" could almost be a comment on ...

Boris Savoldelli / Elliott Sharp: Protoplasmic

Read "Protoplasmic" reviewed by John Kelman


In the realm of free improvisation and even more structured pursuits, the limits of the human voice are being tested and expanded more than ever before by artists including Norwegians Sidsel Endresen and her groundbreaking One (Sofa, 2007), and Maja Ratkje with her equally innovative River Mouth Echoes (Tzadik, 2008). Italian singer Boris Savoldelli may have ...

Ami Yoshida / Toshimaru Nakamura: Soba to Bara

Read "Soba to Bara" reviewed by John Eyles


Over the past decade Japanese Onkyo musicians such as vocalist Ami Yoshida, no-input mixing board player Toshimaru Nakamura, Sachiko M, Taku Unami and Otomo Yoshihide have had a profound effect on improvisers outside Japan, as far away as London, Berlin and USA. Albums by such musicians and their collaborators have been common among the releases from ...

Norwegian Jazz 101a: JazzNorway in a Nutshell 2009

Read "Norwegian Jazz 101a: JazzNorway in a Nutshell 2009" reviewed by John Kelman


2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 One of the challenges of any organization or festival is to find ways to top past performances, and certainly the breadth of exposure to Norwegian music, culture and geography at JazzNorway in a Nutshell 2008 (JNiaN) would be hard to beat. A junket where approximately 40 people ...

Phil Minton: No Doughnuts in Hand

Read "No Doughnuts in Hand" reviewed by John Eyles


This album is the third part of an astonishing trilogy, following A Doughnut In Both Hands (1975-1982) (Emanem, 1998) and A Doughnut In One Hand (FMP, 1998). With its title, Minton seems to have heeded the advice he gave as a track title on In Both Hands--Too Many Doughnuts Make You Ill. Minton himself ...

Phil Minton - Roger Turner: Ammo

Read "Ammo" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Purtroppo è scarsa la documentazione finora disponibile relativamente alla coppia Phil Minton - Roger Turner, nonostante le numerose collaborazioni tra i due. La Leo Records colma questa lacuna recuperando un vecchio (ma per nulla datato) vinile registrato presso il mitico Cold Storage, studio ricavato in una cella frigorifera londinese, nel quale operarono - tra gli altri ...
