I 10 CD nel CD player di... Francesco Chiapperini
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Charlie Haden -Liberation Music Orchestra (Impulse! -1969). Il lirismo della Liberation Orchestra di Charlie Haden e di Carla Bley racconta in maniera moderna lo spirito della guerra civile spagnola attraverso composizioni che trasudano di sofferenza, ma anche di speranza.

Roberto Ottaviano: Forgotten Matches. The Worlds Of Steve Lacy (1934-2004)
by Neri Pollastri
Il 4 giugno del 2004 veniva a mancare Steve Lacy, uno dei giganti della storia del jazz che, per molteplici motivi, non ha ricevuto l'attenzione e il successo di pubblico di altre figure del suo calibro. Tra le possibili spiegazioni sta probabilmente la scelta di dedicarsi interamente a uno strumento un po' particolare qual è il ...
Michael Mantler: The Jazz Composer's Orchestra (Update)
by Alberto Bazzurro
All'indomani dei suoi settant'anni, compiuti il 10 agosto 2013, Michael Mantler ha voluto farsi (e farci) un grande regalo: ha “occupato" per tre sere (30/31 agosto e 1 settembre) il Porgy & Bess di Vienna con una venticinquina di musicisti al seguito e ha ridato voce alle partiture, debitamente rivedute e corrette, che quarantacinque anni prima ...
Notable and Nearly Missed 2014
by C. Michael Bailey
As I have grown older, I have come to the startling and disheartening realization that I will not be able to read all the books there are, and, more importantly, listen to all the music there is (much less write about it). I otherwise appreciate a finite lifespan, but not when it comes to books and ...

Steve Swell: Unlimited Musical Possibilities
by Victor L. Schermer
"Free Jazz" and “Avant-Garde Jazz" are catch phrases often associated with musical pioneers such as Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor but more broadly refer to music that goes outside of the mainstream of melody, harmony, rhythm, and structure. When that happens, opinions and emotions abound. Reactions vary from disgust to excitement and enthusiasm, and it is ...
Lena Bloch: Feathery
by Dave Wayne
One of the really enjoyable things about listening to jazz is that, after a few years, one is able to discern some aspects of a particular musician's stylistic evolution. If her debut album, Feathery, is any indication, saxophonist Lena Bloch has staked a claim on some of the most distinct real estate in the jazz neighborhood; ...
EJ Park: Touching Us Softly with Her Song

Frank Lacy: That Which Is Planted
by Mark Corroto
The real reason the revolution will not be televised (with apologies to Gil Scott Heron) is that the sound of the revolution is free jazz. While those street fighting men are satisfied to throw rock music up against the wall, the real uprising is music of bands like 1032K. With roots in the streets and lofts ...
