Steve Lehman: Demian as Posthuman
by AAJ Italy Staff
Steve Lehman si può considerare una delle voci più interessanti emerse dall’ultima generazione di sassofonisti. Appena venticinquenne opera con medesime soddisfazioni sia nel campo della musica contemporanea che in ambito jazzistico; ed anche sul versante della musica improvvisata ama sorprendere con continui cambi di direzione. Se nell’ultimo Artificial Light aveva messo in mostra una esplosiva miscela ...
Muhal Richard Abrams / George Lewis / Roscoe Mitchell: Streaming
by Mark Corroto
To paraphrase Jack Nicholson from the 1997 film As Good As It Gets, this recording “...makes me want to be a better listener. Impeccably recorded, Streaming brings together (once again) three AACM giants for an hour of open (their word) improvisation. Like Stephen Hawkins has done with casual conversation, artists Muhal Richard Abrams, George ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa: Codebook
by John Kelman
Musicians who lean toward a cerebral approach face two challenges: avoiding contrivance, and ensuring there's enough emotional content to resonate with listeners on an instinctive level. Altoist Rudresh Mahanthappa has been performing an uncanny balancing act in that regard since he relocated to New York in the late '90s. He's been making as much of a ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa: Codebook
by Jeff Stockton
Ever since Charlie Parker redefined the instrument, speed has been the stock and trade of the alto saxophonist. Find some sidemen who can keep up with you and you've got something. On Codebook, Rudresh Mahanthappa's quartet is rounded out by bassist François Moutin, drummer Dan Weiss and pianist Vijay Iyer, a constant compadre. Is Iyer a ...
Muhal Richard Abrams / George Lewis / Roscoe Mitchell: Streaming
by Troy Collins
Inspired in part by a live reunion concert at the 2003 Venice Biennale, seminal AACM members Muhal Richard Abrams, George Lewis and Roscoe Mitchell recently reconvened for a studio session, having not recorded together since the late 1970s. They reveal a synergistic rapport, perhaps unsurprisingly due to their three decade-plus common history. An exceptional document of ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa: Codebook
by Troy Collins
Rudresh Mahanthappa's previous quartet album, Mother Tongue (Pi, 2004), explored the transposition of Indian dialects into the structural frameworks of acoustic jazz. Codebook builds on the alto saxophonist's previous work by incorporating aspects of cryptography into his new compositions. He's joined by his regular foil, pianist Vijay Iyer, as well as his usual quartet bassist, François ...
Odyssey the Band: Back in Time
by AAJ Italy Staff
Negli ultimi anni il chitarrista-cantante James Blood Ulmer si è spostato ad esplorare scenari singolari di blues post-rurale, ottenendo risultati di grande interesse. I suoi recenti lavori hanno il pregio di essere basati sulla rilettura di elementi tradizionali filtrati dalla sua peculiare visione mutuata da quella sensibilità di avanguardista ‘sui generis’ che tutti gli riconoscono. In ...
Liberty Ellman: Ophiuchus Butterfly
by AAJ Italy Staff
Liberty Ellman giunge al terzo disco da leader e il salto di qualità è evidente rispetto alle ottime potenzialità espresse in Tactiles. A differenza di quanto spesso accade coi lavori dei chitarristi, quest'incisione non è focalizzata sullo strumento a sei corde ma ha una prospettiva ampia e articolata, prettamente compositiva. Partner per alcuni anni di Henry ...
