Gordon Grdina/Mark Helias: No Difference
by Dan Bilawsky
No Difference takes place at the crossroads of the known and unknown, expected and surprising, and fenced in and free. More importantly, it's an album built upon the bonds of shared experience. Each of the four musicians involved with this project can be paired off with at least one other in their respective backstories. Grdina and ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Golden State
by AAJ Italy Staff
Già l'organico, con una front line forte di flauto e fagotto, ci dice quali tinte cameristiche avvolgano questo CD del batterista canadese (tutti suoi i brani), inciso nel novembre 2012 a San Diego, dove vive e insegna Mark Dresser. In verità la componente jazzistica è tutt'altro che elusa, il che si avverte con chiarezza già nel ...
Samuel Blaser Consort in Motion: A Mirror to Machaut
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
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 ...

Chris Clark Quintet: Cedar Wisely
by AAJ Italy Staff

L'etichetta Songlines ha appena pubblicato Cedar Wisely, il primo lavoro come leader del sassofonista Chris Clark. Inciso nel 2011 con un quintetto che include il mentore dello stesso Clark, il sassofonista Peter Epstein, il disco si compone di nove tracce, ...
Benoît Delbecq and Fred Hersch Double Trio: Fun House
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. ...
