Craig Taborn: Compass Confusion

Read "Compass Confusion" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Compass Confusion, the long hoped for return of Craig Taborn's depth defying, solo-gone-quintet from Junk Magic (Thirsty Ear, 2004), climaxes early and often and, however you like to be lured, It pulls you along with a lush velvet hook in your mouth. Reeling it in is a struggle but a blessing. We know that. We get ...

Angelica Sanchez, Marilyn Crispell: How To Turn The Moon

Read "How To Turn The Moon" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Registrato nel settembre 2019 a Woodstock, questo album—all'ascolto assolutamente paritetico—si deve in realtà soprattutto ad Angelica Sanchez, non a caso autrice di quasi tutto il materiale tematico (sette suoi brani su dieci, con gli atri tre, evidenti improvvisazioni, a doppia firma). Detto ciò, quello che troviamo in questi cinquanta minuti di musica a ...

Benoit Delbecq: The Weight Of Light

Read "The Weight Of Light" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


The experience of sound can incite ruminations on the laws of physics, on geometrics, time, space and spirituality. The music on pianist Benoit Debecq's The Weight Of Light--his first solo recording in more than a decade--does just that. It also conjures images of the shape of the African continent that birthed a jumble of rhythmic designs. ...

Benoit Delbecq: The Weight of Light

Sperimentatore sulla tastiera e sul pentagramma, in equilibro tra il jazz e la contemporanea, il francese Benoit Delbecq è un vero maestro del pianoforte preparato, che ha più volte proposto sia entro gruppi di varie dimensioni, sia in solo, come accade in questo The Weight of Light, appena uscito per la Pyroclastic Records di Kris Davis. ...

Craig Taborn: Compass Confusion

Read "Compass Confusion" reviewed by John Sharpe


Although a peerless pianist, Craig Taborn has been captivated by electronics since the age of 12, and he scratches that itch big-time on Compass Confusion.
