Boris Savoldelli / Elliott Sharp: Protoplasmic
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
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
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.

Phil Minton: No Doughnuts in Hand
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
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 ...
Phil Minton: Slur
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non è poi così semplice come può sembrare la riflessione sul ruolo della voce nei contesti dell'improvvisazione più libera: in quanto esito diretto dell'intenzione espressiva e con una capacità di mimesi che segue senza mediazione, la voce umana si trova così in una posizione del tutto peculiare, pronta a diventare capricciosa creatura, che si piega e ...
Phil Minton Quartet: Slur
by John Eyles
This improvising quartet first came together in the mid '90s recording Mouthfull of Ecstasy (Victo, 1996), which was inspired by author James Joyce's novel Finnegans Wake. Although, vocalist Phil Minton has for decades performed with individual members of the quartet, and since 1996 has recorded fine duos with all of them, this is only their second ...
