Rodrigo Amado: This Is Our Language
by Mark Corroto
It was only a matter of time before this session was to be. Portuguese tenor saxophonist Rodrigo Amado had, for years, been gaining the attention of American players, and recording his Motion Trio with guests such as Peter Evans and Jeb Bishop. When he conceived of this quartet, it was hand-in-the-glove fit. The title, ...
Casa Futuro: Casa Futuro
by John Sharpe
At the juncture of free jazz and free improv sits the eponymous debut of Casa Futuro. In a truly co-operative trio, saxophonist Pedro Sousa joins forces with bassist Johan Berthling and drummer Gabriel Ferrandini. Portuguese improvisers Sousa and Ferrandini last combined with Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore on Live At ZDB (Shhpuma, 2014), while Berthling keeps ...
Yells at Eels: In Quiet Waters
by Karl Ackermann
It would seem that trumpeter Dennis González could easily find a place among the better-known artists in jazz were it not for a deep commitment to making generally undefinable music and priorities that include putting his academic and literary responsibilities out front. From the time of his first release as a leader, Air Light (Sleep Sailor) ...

Luís Lopes Lisbon Berlin Trio: The Line
by Mark Corroto
Guitarist Luís Lopes posted the following quote on his Facebook page, “art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." With that as his mission statement, the question arises: can one listen to his music with a sympathetic ear? Or more importantly, is discomfort the motivation and ultimately the goal? Lopes' ...
Rodrigo Amado Motion Trio & Peter Evans: The Freedom Principle
by Alberto Bazzurro
Inciso anch'esso a Lisbona, però in studio, due soli giorni dopo (quindi il 18 marzo 2013) il Live in Lisbon recensito di recente, questo nuovo lavoro del trio plus del sassofonista portoghese, pur fondandosi sempre sull'improvvisazione senza rete, presenta tuttavia strutture più rigide (almeno questa è l'impressione che ci trasmette), compassate, formalmente tornite. ...
Rodrigo Amado's Motion Trio + Peter Evans: The Freedom Principle
by Mark Corroto
Saxophonist Rodrigo Amado requires a proper foil to his music making. Not so much a player who is his converse, but more like a complementary player. One who completes or enhances his sound. In trumpeter Peter Evans, he has found his homogeneous antithesis. Heard on two recent recordings, the LP-only release Live In Lisbon> ...
Rodrigo Amado Motion Trio & Peter Evans: Live in Lisbon
by Alberto Bazzurro
Live performance allo stato brado, quella raccolta in questo LP (un ampio brano per facciata, come da più consolidate tradizioni “viniliche"), che vede il trio del sassofonista portoghese e l'illustre ospite americano disimpegnarsi al meglio all'interno dello spazio offerto (in senso lato) dal Teatro Maria Matos di Lisbona il 16 marzo 2013. Il ...
