Samo Salamon: Fall Memories and Nano

Read "Samo Salamon: Fall Memories and Nano" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Guitarist Samo Salamon has found some interesting and distinctive ways to present his music. These include forming groups with different musicians and instrumentations, so as to give his compositions the particular flavours they require. Among these line-ups sit his European quartets, and true to his vision, both have different line-ups which allow Salamon to pursue different ...

Samo Salamon: Melody, Heaviness and Maturity

Read "Samo Salamon: Melody, Heaviness and Maturity" reviewed by Paul Olson


There are many outstanding guitarists in jazz music, but Samo Salamon stands out. He's a technically terrifying musician, but the world of improvisational music is full of players with intimidating technique. Salamon's greatest attribute is his uniqueness: His rock-inflected electric tone and trademark solo lines of jagged single notes and crunching chord clusters are his own. ...

Samo Salamon: Government Cheese

Read "Government Cheese" reviewed by Budd Kopman


It might be easy to imagine two entirely different reactions to guitarist Samo Salamon's latest, very fine effort Government Cheese. The first, coming from someone who has not heard him before, might center around the angular, distortion tinged guitar, the driving near-rock rhythms and the wide variety of emotions that whiplash the listener. ...

Samo Salamon NYC Quintet: Government Cheese

Read "Government Cheese" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Guitarist Samo Salamon creates his music in the cast of his band, the stylistic differences coming to life in the particular conglomeration. A man of many musical parts, he can take rock and meld it with jazz, let it swing and let it move with an agile sweetness. He can let structure loose from composition to ...

Samo Salamon NYC Quintet: Government Cheese

Read "Government Cheese" reviewed by John Kelman


It's may be possible to define an artist by the company he/she keeps, but the harsher economics of the 21st Century jazz world make it an axiom that doesn't always hold true. It's not difficult to enlist big-name artists on a recording if one has the cash. Still, it's a positive sign when first encounters turn ...

Samo Salamon Quartet: Two Hours

Read "Two Hours" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Strano album questo dello sloveno Samo Salamon, sicuramente uno dei chitarristi più interessanti delle ultime generazioni. Si apre magnificamente con una bella melodia in dieci, prosegue con un omaggio a Steve Lacy decisamente fuori dagli schemi, e poi incappa in un passo falso, in una melodia piuttosto banale, che chi vi scrive trova, alla luce dei ...

Samo Salamon: Kei's Secret

Read "Kei's Secret" reviewed by Budd Kopman


Kei's Secret, a smoking live set from Slovenia, while clearly coming from the same root, could not be more different from Samo Salamon's previous album, Two Hours (FSNT, 2006). On that record, three terrific musicians got together with the guitarist on short notice and recorded what turned out to be some very fine music. The wonder ...
