Read "Stone Shift" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Larry Ochs, best known for his work with the long-standing ROVA saxophone quartet, has been working an unusual and satisfying side project for close to a decade. His Drumming Core, founded in 2000, is a trio with two drummers dedicated to exploring American field hollers and Asian chants. The first two CDs were rewarding, if more ...

Joëlle Léandre - George Lewis: Transatlantic Visions

Read "Transatlantic Visions" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Si sono spesso incrociate le strade di Joëlle Léandre e George Lewis nel corso degli ultimi venticinque anni di storia dell'improvvisazione. Leggenda vuole che sia stato Lewis a suggerire alla Léandre di duettare con Derek Bailey [all'interno dei vari Company a partire dal 1982 e poi nel meraviglioso No Waiting, pubblicato dalla Potlach]. In seguito i ...

Joelle Leandre / George Lewis: Transatlantic Visions

Read "Transatlantic Visions" reviewed by Stuart Broomer

by Stuart Broomer

Recorded at Vision Festival XIII in 2008, this pairing of French bassist Joelle Léandre and American trombonist George Lewis brings together two of the most gifted and committed musicians in improvised music. They've been acquainted since the '70s and distinguished themselves as duo improvisers in the best company. (Among their individual highlights are the former's duets ...

Matthew Shipp: Un Piano

Read "Un Piano" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

A una recente, peraltro ottima, esibizione di Matthew Shipp in trio, mi è capitato di cogliere il commento vagamente ironico di uno spettatore che sosteneva “beh, si poteva fare a meno della sezione ritmica, bastava come ha suonato da solo". L'annotazione, certamente ingenerosa sia nei confronti degli altri musicisti che verso l'attitudine all'interplay del pianista, è ...

Alexandre Pierrepont - Mike Ladd: Maison Hantée

Read "Maison Hantée" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Si muove tra jazz e poesia il progetto Maison Hantée dello scrittore, critico musicale e produttore francese Alexandre Pierrepont assieme a uno dei produttori hip-hop più trasversali, Mike Ladd: a partire dai testi dei due autori, il progetto viene così costruito con una serie di improvvisazioni affidate [ma spesso registrate a parte] a uno stuolo di ...

Nicole Mitchell Indigo Trio: Anaya

Read "Anaya" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La spiritualità nella musica è spesso fraintesa, talvolta abilmente celata dietro forme e confezioni consolidate, altre volte dichiarata prima ancora che praticata, chiaramente sofferente dello scollamento da un lessico funzionale condiviso: accade così - tanto per fare un esempio - che per alcuni Jan Garbarek con l'Hilliard Ensemble sia il massimo del misticismo, per altri una ...

Right Hemisphere: Right Hemisphere

Read "Right Hemisphere" reviewed by Florence Wetzel

by Florence Wetzel

In the early '80s, saxophonist Rob Brown and pianist Matthew Shipp played as a duo, eventually forming a quartet with William Parker on bass and Whit Dickey on drums and releasing the CD Points on Silkheart in 1990. Flash-forward to the present, where Joe Morris has taken over the bass chair, and the group has released ...

Alexandre Pierrepont / Mike Ladd: Maison Hantee

Read "Maison Hantee" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

There's a recurring argument about whether the marriage of jazz and poetry can ever be properly consummated, with strong opinions on either side, but the majority of adherents in the naysayers camp. Partly it's to do with the inflexibility of the words, which can't respond in the moment to the musician's whim, forcing the music to ...

Michel Edelin Trio: Kuntu

Read "Kuntu" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Perennially unfashionable and plagued by perceptions of insufficient heft and timbral variation, it's not surprising that flute-based trios are rarer than an apologetic banker. Not that this troubles the Paris-based RogueArt label, as straight after the Indigo Trio's Anaya (2009) comes another, this time under the direction of flautist Michel Edelin. Past associations for the Frenchman ...
