by Phil DiPietro
Steve Lehman QuintetOn Meaning Pi Recordings2007 This release by alto saxophonist Steve Lehman places him in the vanguard of great new composer/performers.

Steve Lehman: On Meaning
by Martin Longley
Even though saxophonist Steve Lehman is uncompromisingly his own composer, an airing of this quintet work can't help but call to mind his forebearers. The prominence of Chris Dingman's vibraphone prompts thoughts of a more wayward version of the Dave Holland Quintet, maybe closer to The Claudia Quintet in its rhythmically angular strikes. Then, Lehman is ...
Amir ElSaffar: Two Rivers
by Troy Collins
The blues are universal. Nowhere is this more implicit than Iraqi-American trumpeter Amir ElSaffar's Pi Recordings debut Two Rivers. Drawing inspiration from the complex and often bloody history surrounding the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, ElSaffar's multi-layered writing is equally rooted in traditional Arabic classicism and Western concepts of jazz improvisation. A child of the ...

Muhal Richard Abrams - George Lewis - Roscoe Mitchell: Streaming
by AAJ Italy Staff
Penso che il modo migliore - o perlomeno quello che al tempo stesso consente di godere della musica con la massima apertura e non cadere in possibili cliché d'ascolto - per accostarsi alla musica del trio formato da Muhal Richard Abrams, George Lewis e Roscoe Mitchell sia quello di metabolizzare in modo molto sincero le diverse ...
Odyssey the Band: Back in Time
by Kurt Gottschalk

It's a good band for sure, but its value is enhanced by the fact that Ulmer has rarely had standing bands worthy of his potential. He should have had stronger projects and more great records, considering what a great guitarist he is. ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa: Codebook
by AAJ Italy Staff
Fra i nomi emergenti della scena jazzistica newyorchese c'è quello di Rudresh Mahanthappa, contraltista di origine indiana. Per scrivere le composizioni di Codebook, il suo quinto CD da leader (il primo, Yatra, risale al 1996), egli si è ispirato al fascino dei simboli della crittografia, o meglio ha tentato di tradurre in melodia e ritmo i ...
Art Ensemble of Chicago: Non-cognitive Aspects of The City
by AAJ Italy Staff
La creatività e la motivazione dell'AEOC ebbero un periodo di declino dapprima a seguito dell'abbandono da parte di Jarman, nel 1994, e poi della morte di Lester Bowie avvenuta alla fine del 1999. La scomparsa di Malachi Favors, nonostante che nel frattempo fosse rientrato Jarman, sembrava aver decretato la definitiva fine dello storico gruppo. Al contrario ...
