Steve Raegele: Last Century

Read "Last Century" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Finalmente un guitar-trio che non suona “alla maniera di..," che non è l'ultima meraviglia propinata da qualche sponsor in cerca di pubblicità, che non si propone di stupire il mondo. Ma un guitar-trio che possiede una cifra stilistica personale e un modo di approcciare sia la composizione che l'improvvisazione piuttosto originale. Arrivano dal Canada e il ...

Benoit Delbecq / Francois Houle: Because She Hoped

Read "Because She Hoped" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

The superior recording quality, tinged with reverb and a capacious aesthetic, serves as a third instrument on this studio recording by French pianist Benoit Delbecq and Canadian clarinetist Francois Houle. Both artists occupy that progressive, cutting-edge space within modern jazz contexts. With their third duo outing, the musicians use extended techniques in an intimate setting. Here, ...

Benoit Delbecq Trio: The Sixth Jump

Read "The Sixth Jump" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Vi è la Madre Africa. “Ando," per esempio, si sviluppa attorno ad un ritmo tribale che rimanda a villaggi sperduti e tramonti rosso fuoco. Ma anche in altri brani risuonano echi di strumenti etnici sia percussivi (presenti nel armamentario di Emile Biayenda) sia cordofoni (il contrabbasso di Jean-Jacques Avenel suona talvolta come la kora proveniente dal ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II

Read "Canada Day II" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Se vi piace farvi cullare da dolci melodie sognando tramonti da sogno e natura incontaminata. Se ogni tanto vi intrigano atmosfere misteriose, un leggero brivido che vi corre lungo la schiena nell'inoltrarvi in una foresta sconosciuta e silenziosa. Se amate le trame semplici, immediate in superficie ma percorse da deviazioni e slittamenti interni, allora Canada Day ...

Equilibrium: Walking Voices

Read "Walking Voices" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Sissel Vera Pettersen, norvegese, pensa che la musica degli Equilibrium debba essere, né più né meno, rappresentata da un prisma. Magari bucato da un raggio bianco che si trasforma in mille colori e in cui l'ascoltatore potrà scegliere di immergersi. Forse, migliore definizione della musica del trio non si poteva dare. La cantante-sassofonista ha gironzolato con ...

Thom Gossage Other Voices: In Other Words

Read "In Other Words" reviewed by Matt Marshall

by Matt Marshall

According to drummer Thom Gossage, the tracks on this, the fifth release by his Other Voices ensemble, are launched from a single figure--anything from a simple melodic line, to fully composed pieces of music, rhythm scores, electronic soundscapes, chants and poems--that are subsequently abstracted through an assemblage process. The idea came to him after viewing a ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II

Read "Canada Day II" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Are life events audible in music? They would certainly seem to be in the case of Canadian drummer/composer Harris Eisenstadt. Half the tracks on Canada Day II were composed around the time of his son's birth. One track is dedicated to his youngster, and the genesis of two others was related to public schools, so Eisenstadt ...
