Samo Salamon & Aljosa Jeric Quartet: Mamasaal feat. Mark Turner
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
That bandleaders Samo Salamon and Aljosa Jeric are Slovenian doesn't appear to be of much musical relevance; jazz settings of East European folk songs are not the order of the day here. But it might have some metaphorical relevance; just as their tiny homeland has shot to the top of all social, economic and political rankings ...
Samo Salamon & Aljosa Jeric Quartet: Mamasaal feat. Mark Turner
by Nic Jones
The modern mainstream doesn't often get as rarefied as this, and that very point is one of this quartet's greatest strengths. Guitarist Samo Salamon's playing is rhythmically ambiguous with a happily singular mellowness, and it's abundantly obvious that tenor saxophonist Mark Turner)), at the worst of times one of the most singular voices out there, finds ...
Samo Salamon & Aljosa Jeric Quartet: Mamasaal feat. Mark Turner
by John Dworkin
Mamasaal is a recording led by guitarist Samo Salamon and drummer Aljosa Jeric featuring the relentlessly creative saxophonist Mark Turner. Salamon and Jeric both hail from the newly post-socialist country of Slovenia. Having been recently formed after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, maybe there is something to the idea of jazz being a truly “democratic" ...

Samo Salamon & Aljosa Jeric Quartet: Mamasaal feat. Mark Turner
by Matt Marshall
Don't expect to have your bones rattled by Samo Salamon & Aljosa Jeric Quartet's Mamasaal feat. Mark Turner. It's a subtle, contemplative work, passing with the warm glow of an evening lost to conversation and intoxicants in the likes of the album cover's ornate parlor. At times, Salamon's guitar is breezy, providing ...

Samo Salamon: Fall Memories
by Budd Kopman
Guitarist Samo Salamon's remarkable Fall Memories is the second part (in recording date order) of the diptych by his European Quartet that includes Nano (Zalozba Goga, 2007), and which represents the current state of Salamon's musical development. The most singular aspect of his music as it has progressed is that, while each release has a different ...
Samo Salamon: Nano
by Budd Kopman
With the virtually simultaneous release of the intriguingly delightful Nano and Fall Memories (Splasc(H), 2007), guitarist Samo Salamon brings forth his European Quartet. A true jazzman of the world, his projects have included musicians and attitudes taken from both sides of the Atlantic, resembling the older Gebhard Ullmann. Salamon's three previous releases--Two Hours ...
