Robert Wyatt: The End of an Ear
by AAJ Italy Staff
La grande destrezza di Robert Wyatt nel saper giocare con le parole e le assonanze gli ha permesso di titillarsi con la frase 'The End of an Era' sostituendo l'ultima parola di quella che è una frase fatta, con la parola che viene utilizzata in inglese per designare l'organo umano che si occupa del data entry ...
Take Five With Eric Normand
by AAJ Staff
Meet Eric Normand:Eric Normand is a composer, improviser, bassist, instrument designer, singer-songwriter, and a record and concert producer. He defines himself as an inter-disciplinary musician--a free electron driven by its yearning for meetings. In his book, composition cannot exist without exchange since composition consists of setting up a territory that will facilitate improvisation.
John Etheridge: More Than a Legacy
by Bruce Lindsay
The home page of guitarist John Etheridge's website reveals that he's involved in seven current projects: nothing too unusual in the life of a contemporary jazz musician. Closer inspection quickly shows that the term “jazz musician" fails miserably to encompass the full range of Etheridge's work. There's his career as a solo performer; his duo with ...
Paul Motian: Paul Motian (Old & New Masters Edition)
by John Kelman
In a time when leadership roles are being thrust increasingly upon young musicians who may have the chops, the technique and the theory, but not the experience, drummer Paul Motian could be considered a lesson in patience, in waiting for the right time, in holding off for the precise moment of readiness.It's not that ...
The Not So Strange and Bizarre Life of Mike Taylor
by Duncan Heining
Composer-pianist, Mike Taylor, lies buried in a touchingly simple grave in a cemetery in Southend. His body was found on the beach at Leigh-on-Sea in Essex in January 1969. It was assumed that he had committed suicide. He was 30 years old and didn't leave much of a legacy--a couple of albums now highly prized, a ...
Sylvaine Helary: Sylvaine Helary Trio
by Anthony Shaw
The French have long had an affinity for the surrealistic and the absurd--didn't they invent both expressions? Among the ranks of the leading left-field artists (from, of course, the left bank--the traditions stretch back to Antonin Artauld, the first to promote the first playable electronic keyboard, the Ondes Martenot, and Pierre Schaeffer, who created the expression ...

Working Week: Working Nights
by Bruce Lindsay
Many contemporary music and cultural commentators disparage the UK's '80s pop scene as a time seemingly in thrall to new technologies, and whose throwaway commercial hits are long forgotten--and rightly so. Is that really how it was though? Others look far more fondly on the decade's music, remembering its brief dalliance between pop culture and jazz ...
Seval: 2
by Eyal Hareuveni
The second release of the Swedish-American quintet Seval is as surprising as its debut, I Know You (482 Music, 2011). The eight songs, all penned by American cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, are still framed within a lyrical, acoustic- chamber setting. But now the quintet sounds as a working band comprised of equal partners, benefiting from few years ...
