Guido Manusardi Quartet: Folk Tales
by AAJ Italy Staff
Chissà per quale oscuro motivo, viene pubblicato solo ora questo splendido disco di Guido Manusardi, inciso ben cinque anni fa. Rispetto alle sue più recenti prove in trio (Siena Concert con Lucio Terzano e Gianni Cazzola) ed in duo (Tandem con Yuri Goloubev), la raffinatezza dell’eloquio solistico si integra qui mirabilmente con una costruzione più energica ...
Gebhard Ullmann: New Basement Research
by Budd Kopman
The year 2007 marks multi-reedman Gebhard Ullmann's fiftieth birthday, and as part of the celebration, he has released New Basement Research, a blistering and brutally propulsive record with a completely new group, and the fourth for this project. The Basement Research project was started in 1995 with the pre-existing American trio comprised of ...
Gebhard Ullmann: New Basement Research
by Troy Collins
A key presence on the European jazz scene with nearly forty albums to his credit, German multi-reedist Gebhard Ullman turns fifty this year. In celebration, Ullmann has reformed his critically acclaimed Basement Research ensemble with all new members. New Basement Research, their studio debut, is an effective summation of Ullmann's talents as an improviser and composer.
Gebhard Ullmann: Basement Research
by Budd Kopman
On Basement Research, Berlin-based Gebhard Ullmann combines his unique brand of composition with the pre-existing American trio of saxophonist Ellery Eskelin, bassist Drew Gress and drummer Phil Haynes. The recording is remarkable in that there is no sense whatsoever of Ullmann being grafted on to an admittedly close trio. While it is true that Eskelin and ...
Mal Waldron - David Friesen: Remembering Wal
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dispiace dirlo, ma la collaborazione discografica tra Waldron e Friesen occupa un ruolo marginale, quasi insignificante, nella fulgida carriera del pianista statunitense. Facendo seguito a Dedication, non si può certo definire questo un incontro memorabile. Un omaggio postumo certamente sentito e sincero, ma che avrebbe meritato una prova musicale ben più significativa di questa. Sarà per ...
Scott Dubois Quintet: Tempest
by Ivana Ng
The Scott Dubois Quintet can be considered an avant-garde band, but its latest record, Tempest, is a testament to just how accessible and captivating “experimental music can be. There are tunes on the album for the more meditative thinker as well as for someone who just wants to enjoy the various moods and tones that the ...
Giovanni Falzone: Meeting in Paris
by C. Michael Bailey
An old saw goes that America's greatest gift to the world was jazz. One of the most creative recipients of this gift has been Italy, who has produced artists like Massimo Urbani, Giovanni Tommaso, Enrico Rava, Mario Schiano, Fabio Morgera, and Enrico Pieranunzi. Added to this distinguished list is the young trumpeter, Giovanni Falzone, whose approach ...
Giorgio Gaslini: L'Integrale - N. 5 (1968) / N. 6 (1969-70)
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nella metà degli anni sessanta l'avanguardia del jazz italiano s'incarna nell'attività artistica di Giorgio Gaslini. Lo ricordano questi due nuovi volumi dell'Integrale, che seguono le due suites pubblicate nel disco precedente, “La stagione Incantata" e la magistrale “Nuovi Sentimenti". Il volume n. 5 ripubblica l'album Grido, registrato il 28 maggio 1968 al Teatro Lirico di Milano ...
Ran Blake - David Fabbris: Indian Winter
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ventitre frammenti sonori, ventitre fotogrammi, non solo per la provenienza cinematografica di molti dei titoli presenti in Indian Winter, ma soprattutto per la capacità di evocare con poche pennellate di note, immagini e sensazioni di grande impatto emotivo. Il pianismo di Ran Blake è difficilmente etichettabile, rispettoso della tradizione, con riusciti omaggi, tra gli altri, a ...
Basement Research: Live In Munster
by Budd Kopman
Basement Research is one of Gebhard Ullmann's ongoing projects; its first edition produced an eponymous debut (Soul Note, 1995), where the multi-reedist was joined by Ellery Eskelin's battling tenor saxophone and supported by bassist Drew Gress and drummer Phil Haynes, resulting in music with much raw energy and passion. This same band also recorded Kreuzberg Park ...
