Memories in Motian

Read "Memories in Motian" reviewed by Zeno De Rossi


Soon after hearing about Paul Motian's passing (November 22, 2011) I felt the urge to delve (again) into his music. Later on, inspired by a moving writing by Ellery Eskelin (published on his website and reproduced below, by his kind permission), I thought it would have been interesting to collect brief memories from ...

Samuel Blaser Consort in Motion: A Mirror to Machaut

Read "A Mirror to Machaut" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Swiss trombonist Samuel Blaser's largely mellower and investigative Consort in Motion differs from his acclaimed quartet's often hard- hitting and somewhat deviously entertaining persona for the hatOLOGY record label, partly due to French guitarist Marc Ducret's electrifying assaults. Thus, A Mirror to Machaut sheds additional light on Blaser's approach to composition, that coincides with a band ...

John O'Gallagher: The Anton Webern Project

Read "The Anton Webern Project" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Here's to avant-garde jazz. Unruly and ill-behaved, the seeds planted by saxophonists Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, and carried forward by reed multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton and melded with trumpeter Miles Davis's Post-bop, gave rise to a brand of jazz that, while not the complete chaos of free jazz, nevertheless possessed such an inventive spirit that begged ...

Jeff Davis: Leaf House

Read "Leaf House" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Experimental drummer Jeff Davis leads a formidable piano trio that goes against the grain, as it gels to diametric pulses and opposing metrics. Abetted by pianist Russ Lossing's hammering block chords and off-center rhythmic improvisations, Davis elevates, prods and generates cyclonic intensity, yet shades or tempers the momentum during the album's introspective moments. His holistic approach ...

Russ Lossing: Drum Music

Read "Drum Music" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


L'evanescente intimismo e l'obliqua semplicità delle composizioni di Paul Motian, continuano a ispirare i protagonisti delle ultime generazioni. Dopo Joel Harrison e il gruppo Motian Sickness (Maneri, Masefield, Hebert e Cosgrove - leggi la recensione di For the Love of Sarah) ecco un altro lavoro organico, proposto da uno dei pianisti più originali del jazz contemporaneo. ...
