John Sharpe's Best Releases of 2013
by John Sharpe
Here are twelve new releases which stood out from those I heard this year, in no special order. Mostly Other People Do The Killing Slippery Rock (Hot Cup Records) Leader and bassist Moppa Elliott's songwriting talents haven't deserted him: his charts, named after small Pennsylvania towns, are bursting at ...
New Atlantis Octet: Unto The Sun
by Mark Corroto
Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore and ex-Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins have brought free jazz players to the attention of new and younger audiences. Moore has recorded with and promoted the music of Paul Flaherty, William Hooker, John Zorn, Chris Corsano, and Mats Gustafsson and Rollins (back in the 90s) with Matthew Shipp, Roscoe Mitchell, and ...
Harrison Bankhead Quartet: Velvet Blue
by Mark Corroto
Harrison Bankhead's time has come. The Advancement of Creative Music (AACM) is on a roll with the release of Velvet Blue. For decades, the bassist has been the bedrock upon which great Chicago jazz has been built. He was the foundation for legendary players like Fred Anderson, Von Freeman, Roscoe Mitchell, Muhal Richard Abrams, and Malachi ...
ECM Records and Vijay Iyer announce collaboration
Vijay Iyer recently recorded his first album for ECM at New York’s Avatar Studio, with Manfred Eicher producing. While Iyer has been recognized predominantly for his fresh approaches to jazz, ECM now proposes to document a broader scope of his work, which will highlight his compositions and multi-media pieces, as well as improvisation. The first collaboration, ...
Roscoe Mitchell Quartet: Live At "A Space" 1975
by Hrayr Attarian
The Canadian label Sackville released a series of exceptional albums throughout its forty plus year existence. A fair number of these document free-jazz concerts by American luminaries that took place in its hometown of Toronto. When the company folded, Chicago based Delmark purchased its Avant-Garde catalogue and has released expanded versions of these records on CD.

Roscoe Mitchell Quartet: Live at “A Space” 1975
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questa riedizione ha un sapore particolarmente piccante. Intanto perchè riguarda un concerto che segna l'esordio discografico di George Lewis; poi perchè sono recuperati ben venti minuti di musica non presenti sull'edizione originale di questo disco, tra cui una versione della coltraniana “Naima," rarissimo caso di tributo realizzato dai “chicagoani". Nel 1975 Roscoe Mitchell aveva già elaborato ...
Kin Trio: Breathe
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
The Kin Trio--saxophonist Sunjae Lee, bassist Andre St. James, drummer Tim DuRoche--call what they do “minimalist bebop." An apparent oxymoron, given that bebop has such maximalist tendencies (exhibit A is trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's dizzying “Bebop"). They don't mean to be taken so literally, of course. The Kin-men have ably absorbed the sparer offshoots ...
Marco Eneidi: Pallettes of Color & Sound
by Anna Poczatek
Marco Eneidi seems to become a forgotten artist. Which is odd, at the very least, because his improvisation workshops are attended by the first seat of the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich, and because, in just the past few years, the saxophonist has played with artists including pianist Cecil Taylor, guitarist Joe Morris, reed multi-instrumentalists Roscoe Mitchell, Peter Brötzmann ...
Roscoe Mitchell: Duets with Tyshawn Sorey and Special Guest Hugh Ragin
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il disco è nuovo, ma il mistero è sempre lo stesso. Da che pianeta proviene la musica di Roscoe Mitchell? Siamo naturalmente consapevoli che Roscoe si inscrive nella dialettica della tradizione africana-americana e che ne porta a compimento i tratti più avanzati. Ma lo stesso fatichiamo a rintracciare nitidi codici di riferimento, specie quando l'autore tiene ...
