Memories in Motian
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
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 ...

by Troy Collins
Over the last few years Swiss trombonist Samuel Blaser has established himself as a significant presence in the international jazz scene. Recent activity features no less than three consecutive releases; A Mirror to Machaut is the latest in a series of engaging albums, following One From None (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2013), the debut of his ...
John O'Gallagher: The Anton Webern Project
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 ...
John O'Gallagher and Jeff Williams: In a Whirlwind
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' 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 ...
Jeff Davis: Leaf House
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 ...

Composizioni di Paul Motian.
Russ Lossing: Drum Music
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. ...
