François Houle 5 + 1: Genera
by AAJ Italy Staff
François Houle è una tra le menti più aperte della musica d'oggi. Si destreggia sicuro attraverso territori musicali lontani riuscendo sempre a trovare una linea d'intersezione che li possa collegare. Non è propriamente un jazzista: difficile trovare esecuzioni che rispettino il vocabolario storico del jazz, anche se l'eccezione di In the Vernacular: The Music of John ...
Sean Noonan: A Gambler's Hand
by Florence Wetzel
Drummer Sean Noonan's A Gambler's Hand is an innovative musical suite that explores the world of a compulsive Irish gambler who finds himself trapped inside a wall. The project was conceived during a period when Noonan lived in a basement apartment and had a mysterious next-door neighbor; a man he never saw but could often hear ...
Benoit Delbecq - Francois Houle: Because She Hoped
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nell'aria inevitabilmente cameristica che si respira in questo CD, il pianista parigino Benoit Delbecq e il clarinettista canadese Francois Houle riescono ad evitare ogni soluzione di continuità eccessiva tra l'improvvisazione e gli stralci tematici, che talvolta sono parti scritte, altre volte sono delle brevi strutture ricorrenti, oppure semplici indicazioni armoniche. Così il clima del tutto estemporaneo ...
Gordon Grdina's Haram: Her Eyes Illuminate
by Dan Bilawsky
Vancouver-based oudist/guitarist Gordon Grdina has been bending genres and creating East-meets-West contexts for his instruments for quite some time. He put his own spin on modern jazz with Box Cutter, melded outré twentieth century chamber ideals with Arabian themes with the East Van Trio and created a Persian/Arabian/Indian hybrid with Sangha. Now, Grdina turns his attention ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day III
by Glenn Astarita
Drummer Harris Eisenstadt has gained steam on the progressive jazz front, largely due to his complex and harmonically variant compositions amid glittering support from like-minded musicians who often lead solo careers as well. His Canada Day band reemerges with a strong program, seeded in multidimensional jazz-tinged spinoffs, featuring free form segments, intricately executed structural components and ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day III
by Mark Corroto
Harris Eisenstadt's Canada Day quintet is evidence that an ensemble can be both disciplined and chaotic. With Canada Day III, the drummer/composer presents eight original pieces that, but for his talented sidemen, probably could not exist elsewhere.As with his previous quintet dates, Canada Day (Clean Feed, 2009) and Canada Day II (Songlines, 2011) Eisenstadt's ...
Francois Houle 5 + 1: Genera
by Glenn Astarita
Celebrated Canadian progressive jazz clarinetist Francois Houle enlists an all-star support system for a comprehensive album that radiates numerous slants amid ethereal backwashes, scrappy improvisation and softly explorative passages. “Albatros" highlights the sextet's manifold capabilities. Propagated by Houle's buoyantly lilting stride, the band generates a deceptively complex primary theme based on odd-metered unison phrasings, spanning free-bop ...
Danny Fox Trio: The One Constant
by AAJ Italy Staff
Potremmo definire The One Costant album delle assenze. Dodici brani per un totale di quasi settanta minuti e, incredibile a dirsi, nemmeno l'ombra di uno standard, tanto più con una formazione, il piano trio, che spesso sugli standard ha costruito le proprie fortune. Così come manca un omaggio o un tributo più o meno esplicito a ...
Gordon Grdina's East Van Strings: The Breathing of Statues
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lanciato da Gary Peacock, insieme al quale (e a Paul Motian) ha realizzato un disco in trio, Think Like the Waves, il chitarrista e suonatore di oud Gordon Grdina è qui alla guida di un quartetto nel quale è accompagnato da un trio d'archi, formazione inconsueta anche se non del tutto originale (basti ricordare il quartetto ...
