Matthew Shipp: Let's Do Lunch!
by Yuko Otomo
When Matthew Shipp asked me to design the cover art for his Points album (Silkheart Records, 1992), I showed him works from the on-going drawing study I was engaged in. He picked one graphite drawing and said, “Wow! This is exactly what's happening inside my mind when I play the piano!" Here, we talk ...
William Parker Raining on the Moon: Great Spirit
by Angelo Leonardi
Finalmente sono pubblicati gli inediti della session di Corn Meal Dance (Aum Fidelity, 2007), registrata dai Raining on the Moon di William Parker il 3 gennaio 2007. Come spiega Steven Joerg nelle note del disco, in quel giorno vennero registrati 14 brani ma fu scartata l'ipotesi del doppio CD e cinque di essi restarono fuori.
William Parker: For Those Who Are, Still
by Giuseppe Segala
William Parker non cessa di produrre in modo copioso, travolgente, straripante. Spinto da energia creativa e da onnivora attenzione agli stimoli musicali provenienti da culture e approcci diversi. I tre CD che compongono questo denso cofanetto presentano alcuni lavori registrati dal 2000 al 2013. La sfida è soprattutto sul piano compositivo: “For Fannie Lou Hamer," per ...
William Parker 3-CD Box Set Of New Works To Be Released August 21 On AUM Fidelity
On August 21, AUM Fidelity will release For Those Who Are, Still—a 3CD box set of new and previously unissued works from world-renowned composer-bassist William Parker. This set is comprised of four distinctly compelling long-form works—Parker's first composition written for symphony orchestra performance; a commissioned piece for a standing new music ensemble; a “chamber-jazz" song series ...
Oliver Lake / William Parker: To Roy
by John Sharpe
Bassist William Parker has formed productive liaisons with some wonderfully expressive alto saxophone players in the past--Rob Brown and Jemeel Moondoc both spring to mind. But To Roy represents his first time on record with Oliver Lake, best known as a third of Trio 3 and a quarter of the World Saxophone Quartet. They recorded their ...
Matthew Shipp & Mat Walerian Duo / The Uppercut: Live At Okuden
by Mark Corroto
Jane Austen was mistaken when she wrote “Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable." Passing away at the age of 41 in 1817, she would not have had the opportunity to hear either jazz, nor the music of Matthew Shipp and Mat Walerian. The surprise here ...
Matthew Shipp: To Duke
by Mark Corroto
Unlocking the language of an avant-garde musician like Matthew Shipp can be a tough task for those new to creative music, and also for those new to the pianist's approach. He has developed a method of music making that draws from classical music, free jazz, and the energies of electronic music. With a discography pushing into ...
Juan Pablo Carletti/Tony Malaby/Christopher Hoffman: Niño/Brujo
by Mark Corroto
A funny thing happened on the way to a free jazz trio session. What's funny is that leader Juan Pablo Carletti brought seven unique compositions for his trio to perform. The Argentinian-born, New York-based drummer recruited tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby and cellist Christopher Hoffman for this recording. An inconspicuous drummer-led session. Carletti's last decade ...
Ton Trio II: On and On
by Libero Farnè
Il sassofonista Aram Shelton, nato in Florida e attualmente residente in California, ha vissuto dal 1999 al 2005 a Chicago, con la cui scena jazzistica ha mantenuto produttivi contatti. A Oakland ha costituito nel 2012 il Ton Trio II, del quale On and On rappresenta l'album d'esordio. Tutte le composizioni del CD sono di ...
Steve Swell: Unlimited Musical Possibilities
by Victor L. Schermer
"Free Jazz" and “Avant-Garde Jazz" are catch phrases often associated with musical pioneers such as Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor but more broadly refer to music that goes outside of the mainstream of melody, harmony, rhythm, and structure. When that happens, opinions and emotions abound. Reactions vary from disgust to excitement and enthusiasm, and it is ...
