Vilnius Jazz 2019
by Ian Patterson
Vilnius Jazz 2019 Russian Drama Theatre Vilnius, Lithuania October 16-20, 2019 Is a jazz festival primarily about entertainment, or is it meant to challenge the expectations of its audience? Does programming risk mean financial suicide? What responsibility does a festival have to promote young, emerging talent? What place do women ...
David Sanborn: The Curtain Rises on Sanborn Sessions
by Jim Worsley
Listed alphabetically, as opposed to first, second, and third place, Cannonball Adderley, Charlie Parker, and David Sanborn are as good as it gets when discussing the best and most influential alto saxophone players of all-time. Now before you say what about Phil Woods or Kenny Garrett or any number of others, let me qualify that this ...

The Art Ensemble of Chicago: We Are on the Edge: A 50th Anniversary Celebration
by Giuseppe Segala
Quanta storia. Nel 1969 Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman e il più riluttante Malachi Favors, spinti dalla lungimiranza avventurosa di Lester Bowie, si trasferirono a Parigi, accolti dalla comunità degli artisti e degli appassionati con grande attenzione. Tra questi, c'era il batterista e promotore parigino Claude Delcloo, particolarmente attivo e in contatto fin dal 1968 con l'AACM ...
Roscoe Mitchell Orchestra: Littlefield Concert Hall Mills College March 19-20, 2018
by Alberto Bazzurro
Roscoe Mitchell è sempre stato uomo di grandi appetiti creativi. Fin da inizio carriera, ormai ben oltre mezzo secolo fa, ha perseguito un'idea del jazz (e della musica in senso lato) molto aperta, innovativa, fortemente personale. Non ha mai disdegnato l'area cosiddetta “contemporanea" (che forse ha praticato meno di quanto avrebbe voluto, essendosi troppo spesso trovato ...
Evan Parker / Paul G. Smyth: Calenture and Light Leaks
by Don Phipps
The live collaboration of the remarkable English tenor saxophonist Evan Parker and Irish pianist Paul G. Smyth on their album Calenture and Light Leaks is like listening to the piano impressions of Debussy while exploring a gallery of Picassos--pure bliss in action. There is an airy quality to the abstractions here, like playful sunbeams ...
Ilia Belorukov, Gabriel Ferrandini: Disquiet
by Don Phipps
"Energetic" may not be a strong enough word to describe this fascinating collaboration between Russian saxophonist Ilia Belorukov and American drummer Gabriel Ferrandini. Like the near-infinite splatter-patterns of a Pollack painting, the two drip, drop, slam, stutter and explode across the musical canvas of their album Disquiet, with a sense of urgency that brings to mind ...

Experimentalists: Talking with Adam Berenson, Dana Jessen, and Abdul Moimême
by Karl Ackermann
The newly opened Théatre des Champs-Elysées was sold out on the night of May 29, 1913. The well-heeled Parisian audience had come to enjoy the much-anticipated premiere of Igor Stravinsky's “Rite of Spring" which featured the choreography of the acclaimed Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky. Some accounts of what transpired that night appear to be exaggerated. ...
