Brad Gibson: Poontet
by Vincenzo Roggero
Poontet è una piccola, sorprendente finestra aperta sulla effervescente scena musicale di Seattle. Un EP, poco più di trenta minuti di musica che raccoglie fermenti e suggestioni contemporanee e li colloca in una dimensione temporale trasversale a diverse epoche e influenzate da differenti generi. La combinazione di tastiere analogiche e tastiere digitali crea sonorità cosmiche, ideale ...
Rich Pellegrin Quintet: Episodes IV-VI
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Rich Pellegrin offered up his first installment of Three Part Odyssey (OA2 Records) in 2011. It's a musical journey inspired by travels through Europe and North Africa. Employing a superb quintet, three “Episodes" blossomed from a first rate collective approach. Pellegrin and his group follow this up with Episodes IV-VI, featuring a slightly more reflective ...
David Friesen: Waterfall Rainbow
by John Kelman
David FriesenWaterfall RainbowInner City1977 Today's Rediscovery is Waterfall Rainbow, from a bassist who garnered significant attention back in the '70s and '80s, but sadly never sustained it for reasons unknown--certainly nothing to do with his talent--and has, in the decades since, remained an active player, but one largely forgotten by the ...
The Westerlies: Wish the Children Would Come on Home
by Vincenzo Roggero
Due trombe, due tromboni quattro fiati che soffiano le note della musica di Wayne Horvitz, presente con le sue tastiere in qualche brano, ma in maniera discreta, in punta di piedi, ad assicurare un contatto fisico con la sua musica da dietro le quinte, per non disturbare e lasciare massima libertà ai giovani interpreti. È questo ...
Chamber 3: Grassroots
by Dan McClenaghan
Do different geographies create different sounds? New York-hard and brassy, in your face and boppish; the Nordic countries--cool and reflective, spacious and dreamy; the American Midwest, Chicago and Detroit--soulful and hip with a hard urban edge. This is, of course, a simplification, with exceptions flying all over the place, but distinct similarities in sounds can be ...

Chemical Clock: Bad Habitat
by Dave Wayne
Here's another example of music that's devilishly complex, a bit bizarre and full of diverse influences (avant-classical, IDM / electronica, jazz-rock, video game music, and disco-funk, just for starters) which manages to come across as a really warm, human, celebratory listening experience. It's been a couple of years since Chemical Clock issued their eponymous debut album, ...
The Desmond Awards: Top Five Funniest People in Jazz
by Michael Ricci
Despite that serious expression you often see on a jazz musician's face, the truth is, laughter gets them through the day. The late, great pianist Horace Silver knew it. If you didn't see it in his impish smile, you could hear it in his music. Especially in his last studio album, which knowingly proclaimed ...
Brad Gibson: Poontet
by Hrayr Attarian
Seattle drummer Brad Gibson's second release as a leader Poontet is a spicy batch of soulful grooves that belong on the soundtrack of a 1970s gritty detective film. Heavily reliant on electric instrumentation and densely atmospheric these half a dozen tracks are short on improvisational rigor without being mundane. They also allow for some soloing room ...
