Rodrigo Amado: Motion Trio
by Clifford Allen
Abstraction is too often both separated from and associated with improvised music. Either sounds are divorced from meaning outside themselves, or expected to tell some sort of story. Neither euphemism really works that well. But image is a central fact of Portuguese improviser Rodrigo Amado's work, whether referring to the representational or nonrepresentational--after all, in addition ...
Rodrigo Amado: Motion Trio
by Glenn Astarita
Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado is one of the busier and more productive European jazz improvisers.

This disc follows the Teatro (European Echoes, 2006), the trio's ...

Luis Lopes: Humanization 4tet
by AAJ Italy Staff
Una pulsazione ipnotica con la cavata del contrabbasso che aggancia subito l’attenzione dell’orecchio, il ribollio della batteria che swinga libera, ed il groove di fondo è servito. Poi entra il tenore, ruvido quanto basta, note in economia per frasi suggerite, frastagliate, penetranti; infine la chitarra, elettrica ma dolce, avvolgente e naive, fuori da schemi e modelli ...
