Alexander von Schlippenbach: Friulan Sketches

Read "Friulan Sketches" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Musica improvvisata. Detto diversamente, musica composta istantaneamente, da tre artisti che si conoscono bene, ma che non suonano stabilmente in questa formazione e che, pertanto, hanno realmente esplorato la fecondità della loro interazione nel corso della registrazione. Il trio è decisamente cameristico: Alexander von Schlippenbach, uno degli alfieri della musica improvvisata centroeuropea, al pianoforte; Daniele D'Agaro, ...

Peter Evans: Nature/Culture

Read "Nature/Culture" reviewed by John Sharpe


Far from unprecedented, solo trumpet records are still not part of humdrum experience. Since his revelatory debut More is More (psi, 2006), Peter Evans has pitted himself against a widening swathe of improvisers in both North America and Europe, while at the same time affectionately dismantling the jazz tradition with his own Quartet and Moppa Elliott's ...

Peter Evans: Nature/Culture

Read "Nature/Culture" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Centootto (108) minuti di improvvisazione solitaria alla tromba sono un impresa titanica per il musicista e forse, in misura maggiore, per l'ascoltatore. Soprattutto se la narrazione in senso tradizionale è bandita, se gli appigli melodici sono merce rarissima, se non vi è l'ombra di una cover, se... Insomma Peter Evans, trombettista dei formidabili Mostly Other People ...

Peter Evans: Nature/Culture

Read "Nature/Culture" reviewed by John Eyles


Peter Evans' previous solo album, More is More (Psi, 2006), began an unbroken sequence of releases that demonstrates why the trumpeter is increasingly regarded with a mixture of awe and wonder. That solo album was followed by his debut as a leader, The Peter Evans Quartet (Firehouse 12, 2007) and Check for Monsters (Emanem, 2009), featuring ...

Lawrence Casserley / Adam Linson: Integument

Read "Integument" reviewed by John Eyles


Lawrence Casserley and Adam Linson have well-established links with Evan Parker and with each other. Both have previous releases on Psi and since 2004 both have been members of Parker's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble. That is highly relevant to the music on Integument as that ensemble features real-time processing of sound, as does this album. On his solo ...

Lawrence Casserley / Adam Linson: Integument

Read "Integument" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Lawrence Casserley and bassist Adam Linson first became acquainted when the latter joined saxophonist Evan Parker's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble in 2004. In the album notes it is stated that the artists commenced a volley of email exchanges amid a suggestion by Parker, who said that they “have a free ranging dialogue." As conversations ensued, it led to ...

John Edwards: Volume

Read "Volume" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Volume è un disco della PSI, ma potrebbe essere edito da Leo Records, Clean Feed, Victo, Emanem o da altre etichette ancora, magari autogestite da musicisti; nel senso che propone una sperimentazione senza confini, internazionale e trasversale, attuale (in quanto condensa in sé la ricerca improvvisativa degli ultimi trent'anni sul contrabbasso) ma in realtà senza tempo. ...

Alexander Von Schlippenbach: Friulian Sketches

Read "Friulian Sketches" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Sono anime ricche di asperità e di imprevedibile dolcezza quelle di Alexander von Schlippenbach, Daniele D'Agaro e Tristan Honsinger, che sorprendiamo qui a triangolare in una serie di brevi Friulian Sketches che ne mettono in luce tutta la loro straordinaria sapienza di compositori istantanei. È petrosa e apparentemente diffidente - il riferimento friulano, che ovviamente è ...

Ray Warleigh: Rue Victor Massé

Read "Rue Victor Massé" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


È una storia che merita di essere raccontata quella del settantenne Ray Warleigh, uomo-ovunque della meglio musica d'oltre Manica che, in oltre quarant'anni di carriera, ha pubblicato due soli dischi a proprio nome: il primo nel '68 (intitolato con scarsa vena immaginifica Ray Warleigh's First Album), il secondo solo oggi grazie alla benemerita PSI Records dell'amico ...

Ray Warleigh: Rue Victor Masse

Read "Rue Victor Masse" reviewed by John Eyles


Remarkably, this is saxophonist Ray Warleigh's second solo album; his first--ingeniously entitled Ray Warleigh's First Album (Philips, 1968)--was produced by none other than Scott Walker. In the intervening years, Warleigh has been an active session player, appearing on albums as diverse as Nick Drake's Bryter Layter (Island, 1970), Soft Machine's Bundles (Harvest, 1975) and The Dedication ...
