Craig Taborn / Nels Cline / Marcus Gilmore: Trio Of Bloom

Read "Trio Of Bloom" reviewed by Jack Kenny


The concept of a musical “supergroup" is hardly new. It could be argued that Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie's assembly at Massey Hall in 1953 was an early example. This legendary bebop concert, despite the undeniable talent on stage, famously showcased clashing egos, particularly with a less-than-healthy Bud Powell. Charles Mingus even had to re-record his ...

Craig Taborn / Nels Cline / Marcus Gilmore: Trio Of Bloom

Read "Trio Of Bloom" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Maelstroms come and maelstroms go, but the maelstrom generated by a pumped-up Marcus Gilmore on Ronald Shannon Jackson's  “Nightwhistlers," the concussive kicker that jump-starts Trio of  Bloom, holds its storm-warning, jazz-rocking, course. That guitarist Nels Cline--cranked by the spirit of Jimi Hendrix via Bill Frisell circa late '87; and keyboardist Craig Taborn (himself a modern acolyte ...

Ned Rothenberg: Looms & Legends

Read "Looms & Legends" reviewed by Troy Dostert


Solo recordings, at least when they feature instruments other than piano or guitar, can be a challenge even for the most committed jazz listeners. The excitement generated by the dialogue of multiple instrumentalists is, of course, missing, and even the most talented artists can have trouble sustaining one's interest for an entire album. Such releases can ...

Sylvie Courvoisier, Mary Halvorson: Bone Bells

Read "Bone Bells" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Tra i massimi interpreti dei rispettivi strumenti, Sylvie Courvoisier e Mary Halvorson sono le punte di diamante di due generazioni che si incontrano sul terreno comune dell'improvvisazione, del minimalismo sonoro, del prevalere delle idee sulle esibizionismo celebrativo. A partire dalla confezione dell'album, privo di note di copertina, ma arricchito da una grafica (opera ...

Sylvie Courvoisier Mary Halvorson: Bone Bells

Read "Bone Bells" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Guitarist and sound-chaser Mary Halvorsonnever fails to hypnotize. Add the equally hypnotic pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and beauties like Bone Bells materialize to shift your news-exhausted consciousness to greater possibilities. Bone Bells does that. Bone Bells does it often. Once again each woman is determined to investigate every tangent of the sonic atmosphere. Willfully and ...

Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson: Bone Bells

Read "Bone Bells" reviewed by John Ephland


Tonally, these two artists offer what feels and sounds like an ideal fit. Pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and guitarist Mary Halvorson are in no hurry with , their third collaboration as a duo, the title coming from a passage in the novel Trust, by Herman Diaz. There is gentleness mixed with a kind of dreaminess, interspersed with ...

Brandon Seabrook: Object of Unknown Function

Read "Object of Unknown Function" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Object of Unknown Function giunge a dieci anni di distanza da Sylphid Vitalizer, il precedente album solo di Brandon Seabrook, chitarrista e banjoista che alla sua apparizione una ventina di anni fa portò un discreto scompiglio nel mondo della sei corde e in quello del cordofono di origini africane, con un approccio che coniugava punk metal, ...

Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson: Bone Bells

Read "Bone Bells" reviewed by Jack Kenny


Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson! The combination of two such unconventional musicians is both rewarding, challenging and unnerving. The two women are radical disruptors. Their visions and their ambitions are vast. Their range of influences is dizzying. Their creativity seems limitless; their refusal to be conventional is absolute. Even the mechanics of their instruments are subject ...
