Andy Milne - Benoit Delbecq: Where Is Pannonica?

Read "Where Is Pannonica?" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Where is Pannonica? è nato dall'incontro tra due voci ben accreditate nel panorama del jazz internazionale: se Milne è noto per la sua collaborazione con Steve Coleman, Dulbecq è un pianista parigino che ha collezionato importanti partnership con vari jazzisti, ma noto anche per un'attitudine sperimentale che si configura in un'ideale estetica a metà strada tra ...

Jerry Granelli V16: Vancouver '08 (CD+DVD)

Read "Vancouver '08 (CD+DVD)" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La V16 di Jerry Granelli non è una esoterica arma bellica di reminiscenze hitleriane, ma è una pacifica macchina infernale che produce arte allo stato puro. Il quartetto che si cela dietro questa ermetica sigla è composto dallo straordinario chitarrista slide Dave Tronzo, dal meno noto chitarrista Christian Kogel, da J. Anthony Granelli al basso e ...

Sean Noonan's Brewed by Noon: Boxing Dreams

Read "Boxing Dreams" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Nonostante che i fondamenti della psicologia freudiana sostengano che non è possibile guidare i propri sogni, Sean Noonan immagina - attraverso la scrittura di questo CD - l'epopea di se stesso nei panni di un improbabile boxeur. E realizza 11 episodi in cui cerca continuamente la forma della canzone rock. L'epica accade in “Courage," dedicata a ...

Mikkel Ploug - Sissel Vera Pettersen - Joachim Badenhorst: Equilibrium

Read "Equilibrium" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Eterei ma mai algidi, arditi nel creare ambientazioni sospese e melodie intricate, ma sempre a debita distanza da ogni rischio di manierismo. Mikkel Ploug, Sissel Vera Pettersen e Joachim Badenhorst hanno dato vita a un album invernale e trasparente, un esperimento sonoro che, con quel titolo così esplicito, Equilibrium, pare occhieggiare alla natura dell'infinito. L'equilibrio in ...

The October Trio + Brad Turner: Looks Like It’s Going to Snow

Read "Looks Like It’s Going to Snow" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

«Moods and Colours of a Vancouver Autumn». Sì, potrebbe essere questa frase, scritta tra le note di copertina da Greg Buium, a fotografare l'attitudine dell'October Trio. Potrebbe, appunto. Perché se da una parte il suono di Looks Like It's Going to Snow rispecchia i colori tenui di uno scenario nordico, limpido e malinconico, dall'altra mette in ...

Read "The Breathing of Statues" reviewed by Matt Marshall

by Matt Marshall

Guitarist/oudist Gordon Grdina has gathered a marvelous string trio to fulfill a longtime desire of producing music in the mode of Béla Bartók. The compositions on The Breathing of Statues were written specifically for the trio involved--violinist Jesse Zubot, violist Eyvind Kang and cellist Peggy Lee--after Grdina had played with them freely. Grdina's writing then served ...
