Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far

Read "Of the Near and Far" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

In un paio d'anni, Patricia Brennan è balzata ai vertici del jazz più innovativo. Se già il magistrale e pluripremiato Breaking Stretch (Pyroclastic Records, 2024) era un salto avanti rispetto ai precedenti More Touch (Pyroclastic Records, 2022) e Maquishti, stavolta la vibrafonista d'origine messicana presenta un'opera ancor più sorprendente, cambiando organico in un'esplorazione ambiziosa e audace. ...

Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far

Read "Of the Near and Far" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Peerless, vibe-savvy vibraphonist Patricia Brennan minces no fools from the get go, launching Of The Near And Far with the kick-ass lead single (singles? They still make singles? In this day? In this age?) “Antilla." A new jazz standard by any stretch of the imagination, “Antilla" is a sleek, hypnotic beauty that gears you into the ...

Patricia Brennan: Of the Near and Far

Read "Of the Near and Far" reviewed by Troy Dostert

by Troy Dostert

Not one to rest on her laurels, vibraphonist/marimbist Patricia Brennan has continued to challenge herself and her listeners with each stop in the studio. Her tireless dedication to her craft is undoubtedly one of the reasons for her meteoric rise in the creative jazz community, which could be charted particularly after 2021 when she released her ...

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

Read "Trio Of Bloom" reviewed by Jack Kenny

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

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

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

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

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 ...
