Sylvain Rifflet: Alphabet
by AAJ Italy Staff
Enumerando le proprie influenze, il francese Sylvain Rifflet snocciola i nomi di Tom Waits, Radiohead, Steve Reich, Cliff Martinez. Il disco di cui ci occupiamo, che dovrebbe dar riscontro a tutto ciò, vede all'opera il suo nuovo quartetto, Alphabet, al cui suono globale forniscono l'apporto più sostanziale i flauti di Jocelyn Mienniel e l'elettronica a cui ...
Karl 2000: Karl 2000
by Karl Ackermann
Imagine a melding of saxophonist Albert Ayler's frenetic pacing and saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's raw power and the result would be the thematic nature of Karl 2000's self-titled debut. Though saxophonist Daniel Rovin is billed as this power trio's co-leader, he is clearly the musical force throughout this collection. Along with eight original improvisations, Karl 2000 includes ...

Teaming with violin, viola, saxophone, bass and drum, and with ...
Chris Crocco: The Chris Crocco Fluid Trio +
by Dave Wayne
An up-and-coming jazz guitarist, whose unadorned, largely effects-free sound belies a truly modernist approach, Chris Crocco's Fluid Trio+ stands out a bit from the gaggle of current jazz guitar recordings by virtue of its sheer stylistic range, and by the virtuosity of the playing therein. Crocco, along with drummer Francisco Mela and bassist Peter Slavov, plays ...
2012 Yuletide Offerings
by Dan Bilawsky
While thoughts of Christmas don't enter many a consumer's mind until Black Friday comes, musicians turn their eyes toward the last page of the calendar a bit earlier. Artists and labels need to conceive of, put together, record, release and market their holiday-themed albums early, so they can make their way into eager listener's stockings before ...
