Samuel Blaser Consort in Motion: A Mirror to Machaut

Read "A Mirror to Machaut" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il giovane trombonista Samuel Blaser (svizzero, a lungo a New York, oggi di stanza a Berlino) ripresenta in forma rinnovata il suo Consort in Motion, con il quale assieme a Paul Motian nel 2011 aveva rielaborato musiche di Monteverdi, Frescobaldi e Biagio Marini. Adesso, con un organico diverso (ovviamente manca purtroppo Motian) e ampliato grazie all'ingresso ...

Samuel Blaser Consort in Motion: A Mirror to Machaut

Read "A Mirror to Machaut" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Swiss trombonist Samuel Blaser's largely mellower and investigative Consort in Motion differs from his acclaimed quartet's often hard- hitting and somewhat deviously entertaining persona for the hatOLOGY record label, partly due to French guitarist Marc Ducret's electrifying assaults. Thus, A Mirror to Machaut sheds additional light on Blaser's approach to composition, that coincides with a band ...

Benoît Delbecq and Fred Hersch Double Trio: Fun House

Read "Fun House" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Benoît Delbecq è un pianista di punta della scena europea, attratto tanto dal jazz quanto dalle astrazioni geometriche della musica contemporanea. Ma anche dalla poliritmia e dai timbri dell'Africa. Fred Hersch è uno dei rari pianisti che sono riusciti a operare una sintesi convincente tra Bill Evans e Thelonious Monk. Senza gli autocompiacimenti oggi tanto frequenti. ...

Sean Noonan: A Gambler's Hand

Read "A Gambler's Hand" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


L'impiego di un quartetto d'archi in ambiti jazzistici e di improvvisazione non è più una novità già da parecchio tempo; sono molti infatti musicisti e compositori che hanno contribuito ad abbattere i muri che separano sempre più debolmente i vari settori della musica contemporanea (basti pensare a Kronos Quartet e John Zorn tanto per fare un ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day III

Read "Canada Day III" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dopo la prova notevole in Canada Day Octet, Harris Eisenstadt torna alla formula più frequentata del quintetto, al suo terzo capitolo, con risultati se possibili ancor più affascinanti. Un repertorio molto sofisticato, cesellato con cura in un anno di arrangiamenti ritoccati e un montaggio finale assai lucido, che rende giustizia ad ogni voce strumentale e scava ...
