Gordon Grdina: Safar-E-Daroon

Read "Safar-E-Daroon" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic
April 22, 2020

Safar e Daroon germinates from its dark, submerged interiors immediately and immediately brings you into the light. But a light of what? A lover's lamp? A hushed arena? An Australian wildfire? Take your pick and let your mind go. It's all going to happen and does so in spades on oudist Gordon Grdina's second go-round with ...

Gordon Grdina: Cooper's Park

Read "Cooper's Park" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic
October 16, 2019

Cooper's Park's eighteen minute centerpiece crashes into energetic existence sounding like someone just remembered to push record while the ensemble was in high flight mid jam. Flailing majestically away, guitarist Gordon Grdina, alto saxophonist/bass clarinetist Oscar Noriega and pianist Russ Lossing are heard early working overtime on every level from solo to tag-team tandem, giving, taking, ...

Gordon Grdina Quartet: Cooper's Park

Read "Cooper's Park" reviewed by Troy Dostert

by Troy Dostert
September 5, 2019

Since the release of his first album in 2006, Think Like the Waves (Songlines), Gordon Grdina has sought a musical language that would allow him to incorporate his dual interests in the electric guitar and the oud. It is tempting to view this as an “East meets West" process, wherein Grdina's jazz and rock-infused guitar playing ...

Wayne Horvitz, Geoff Harper, Eric Eagle: The Snowghost Sessions

Read "The Snowghost Sessions" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

July 8, 2019

Era dall'anno di grazia 1986 che Wayne Horvitz non incideva in trio--Nine Below Zero lo vedeva insieme a Butch Morris e Bobby Previte--e mai comunque nella formazione piano-tastiere/basso/batteria. Un ulteriore motivo di curiosità e di interesse riguardo la pubblicazione di The Snowghost Sessions, seduta di registrazione per certi versi anomala, a ruota libera, senza l'obiettivo specifico ...

Meeting of the Minds and Sounds: The Clarinet and The Oud

by Doug Collette
January 12, 2019

The clarinet is hardly as an exotic instrument as the oud, but both instruments have their places in modern jazz and it's always fascinating to hear how each sounds within those contexts they're placed. As a point of comparison, the music on these two releases is at once haunting and comforting, mesmerizing and intoxicating, ultimately luring ...
