Russ Lossing: All Things Arise
by Budd Kopman
Russ Lossing is a pianist of extreme depth and intensity whose music exists between jazz improvisation and modern classicism. All Things Arise will only cement this impression. His previous records include the marvelous Metal Rat (Clean Feed, 2006) with Mat Maneri and Mark Dresser, and the intense As It Grows (HatOLOGY, 2004) with Ed Schuller and ...
Russ Lossing - Mat Maneri - Mark Dresser: Metal Rat
by AAJ Italy Staff
Come riferito nelle note di copertina, il CD è il risultato di un'intensa seduta di registrazione di poche ore. Non si puo' che rimanere colpiti, quindi, dalla forte intesa tra i tre musicisti. Mark Dresser, con il suo arco trascinante e profondo, quando non percussivo, e con i suoi pizzicati solidi e incalzanti risulta essere il ...
Russ Lossing / Mat Maneri / Mark Dresser: Metal Rat
by Troy Collins
A focused session of collective free improvisation conceived by pianist Russ Lossing, Metal Rat features the spontaneous interplay of three sympathetic musicians. Joined by violist Mat Maneri and bassist Mark Dresser, Lossing booked a recording studio for a mere four hours to instill a “real sense of urgency" to the proceedings. The ensuing session benefits from ...
Russ Lossing / Mat Maneri / Mark Dresser: Metal Rat
by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
Much has been said about brevity by men who were anything but. Now, art benefits from aesthetic and compositional purity--no unnecessary lines, no superfluous words, no ostentatious displays of skill--but it is usually a byproduct of a brilliant work, not the sole purpose. Pianist Russ Lossing, violist Mat Maneri and bassist Mark Dresser manage dexterously to ...

Phrase 6 - All Things Arise
by AAJ Italy Staff
Russ Lossing non suona “alla maniera di ..”, perché il suo stile è assolutamente personale, decisamente borderline rispetto ai classici riferimenti presenti nel bagaglio tecnico ed esperienziale di qualsiasi musicista. Da una parte vi è una solida formazione accademica, dall’altra la frequentazione dell’area creativa del jazz con musicisti quali Paul Motian, Michael Formanek e Matt Maneri, ...
Russ Lossing: Metal Rat
by Budd Kopman
Metal Rat is a triumph from beginning to end. Along with pianist/leader Russ Lossing, violist Mat Maneri and bassist Mark Dresser have created a work of terrifying intensity and concentration of purpose that is engaging at many levels, simultaneously manifesting a steely ferocity that is nevertheless almost unbearably beautiful. The ten tracks have ...

Russ Lossing: All Things Arise
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Stuart Broomer's ponderous liner notes to Russ Lossing's latest release correctly point out that the track sequencing suggests a “side one" and “side two," as would an old vinyl album ("the LP of tradition," as Broomer says). The first side is given over to a suite of freely improvised music with echoes (probably unwitting) of various ...
