São Paulo Underground: Tres Cabeças Loucuras
by AAJ Italy Staff
Che annata per Rob Mazurek! Annata di grandi dischi (splendido il trio Starlicker, ma anche il meno conosciuto Calma Gente e la collaborazione con il batterista Enzo Carpentieri) e di ottime apparizioni dal vivo (anche in festival come Cormons o Sant'Anna Arresi), che si chiude con il nuovo lavoro a nome dei São Paulo Underground (che ...
Cuneiform Records: Growing Progressive Music for 27 Years
by Mark Redlefsen
Twenty seven years is a long time for a niche progressive music label such as Cuneiform Records not just to survive, but to remain inventive and, in the best sense, ambitious. Steve Feigenbaum founded Cuneiform back in 1984, and with his wife, Joyce, runs it from Silver Springs, Maryland. Hosting bands such as Universe Zero, digging ...
Sao Paulo Underground: Tres Cabecas Loucuras
by Troy Collins
Três Cabeças Loucuras (Portuguese for “three crazy heads") is the third release from São Paulo Underground to explore the furthest fringes of Brazil's revolutionary Tropicalia movement. Updating the renowned genre's patented psychedelia with free improvisation, laptop-driven electronica and musique concrete, the album unveils a spectrum of kaleidoscopic sound that pushes the bounds of each style to ...
Exploding Star Orchestra: Stars Have Shapes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per quanto stupidino e anacronistico possa suonare il giochino - specialmente in tempi in cui le narrazioni attorno al jazz hanno decisamente cambiato faccia - se dovessimo eleggere il campione [e solo uno] dell'ultimo decennio, il mio voto andrebbe a Rob Mazurek. Il cornettista e compositore americano sta dimostrando infatti come si possa portare avanti una ...
Rob Mazurek's Starlicker: Double Demon
by Nic Jones
Starlicker is a trio which crosses the genres with ease and a healthy disregard for categorization. Cornetist Rob Mazurek is one of those musicians more preoccupied with the future of improvised music than with its glorious past. Much the same can be said for vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz, who once again proves himself to be one of ...
Rob Mazurek's Starlicker: Double Demon
by Mark Corroto
It may seem like an anomaly to suggest that a jazz ensemble has to strip down to power up, but Starlicker does just that. Cornetist Rob Mazurek disassembled his Exploding Star Orchestra (which regularly has more than a dozen players) and Quintet into just a trio, with remaining players, vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz and drummer John Herndon. ...
Starlicker - Double Demon (2011)
I don't know if it's a trend of not, but lately I've noticed a lot more unconventional trios in jazz. By “unconventional" I mean without the bassist, and the usual premise I've heard for doing this is to allow more freedom. Trying out uncommon configurations is an interesting and often stimulating tactic used to open up ...
Arrive: There Was...
by Mark Corroto
It is astonishing to consider just how many differing ensembles in which a modern jazz musician might participate. Take, for instance, the players heard in alto saxophonist Aram Shelton's Arrive. Besides his own band Rolldown, vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz can be heard in seven other bands, including those of Rob Mazurek, Mike Reed, and Nicole Mitchell. Likewise, ...
