by Neri Pollastri

Uscito in anteprima nel 2013 in allegato alla rivista Musica Jazz e riedito nel 2014 per dalla El Gallo Rojo Records (con una traccia in più, l'ultima), Kepos è senza dubbio uno dei lavori migliori usciti nel nostro paese negli ultimi tempi.

Robin Holcomb and Talking Pictures with Wayne Horvitz: The Point of It All

Read "The Point of It All" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

In questi tempi tormentati e dilaniati, solo i poeti sanno indicare il cammino. E Robin Holcomb è una poetessa coi controfiocchi e ovviamente non sbaglia questa ennesima rarefatta occasione. Sono con lei il marito tastierista Wayne Horvitz e un manipolo di eccellenti musicisti canadesi che oscillano operativamente fra Vancouver e Seattle, certamente uno degli snodi geografici ...

Bill Frisell: The ECM Years

Read "Bill Frisell: The ECM Years" reviewed by John Kelman

Danny Frankel with Nels Cline & Larry Goldings: The Interplanetary Note/Beat Conference

Read "The Interplanetary Note/Beat Conference" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Enough is sometimes enough. Drummer/percussionist Danny Frankel presents a shortish (by modern CD standards), 34-minute collection of 11 compositions on The Interplanetary Note/Beat Conference. Then again, sometimes a sketch can speak louder than an entire painting.Frankel, a consummate player, has been a sideman to the likes of Laurie Anderson, Steven Bernstein, Lou Reed, Robin ...

Robin Holcomb: Distinctive Mysteries

Read "Robin Holcomb: Distinctive Mysteries" reviewed by Gordon Marshall

by Gordon Marshall

Robin Holcomb's songs are knotty like tumbleweeds, braided like roads on maps along which tumbleweeds roll. She lays her songs down like baskets that have the rustic grace of birds' nests, always on the verge of promising a truth, but brimming with natural mysteries. Mysteries accrue, creating a keen urge to get at the kernel of ...
