Rodrigo Amado: Motion Trio

Read "Motion Trio" reviewed 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

Read "Motion Trio" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado is one of the busier and more productive European jazz improvisers. He follows up his superfine trio release, The Abstract Truth (European Echoes, 2009), with a new and equally explosive rhythm section.

Rodrigo Amado: The Abstract Truth

Read "The Abstract Truth" reviewed by Mark Corroto

But on its second recording, The Abstract Truth, the assemblage speaks the same language; its mother tongue being hard-hitting, concise improvisation.

Luis Lopes: Humanization 4tet

Read "Humanization 4tet" reviewed 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 ...
