Spinifex
Spinifex explores the contrast between extremely tight irregular structures and extensive free improvisations. With its fearsomely explosive combination of musicians, Spinifex is all about compelling grooves, strong dynamics and challenging improvisations. Named after a tough Australian species of grass, Spinifex may at first sound like a combination of jazzcore, math-metal and other typically Western contemporary music. However, beneath the surface the listener will discover ancient cyclical rhythms of Turkish and Indian origin.

by Alberto Bazzurro
Undicesimo album in quindici anni per il nonetto olandese Spinifex (di base un sestetto, attivo fin dal 2005), questo Maxximus (dove il quinto s'intitolava Maximus, con una “x" in meno) ci fa fare la conoscenza (con colpevole ritardo, dobbiamo ammetterlo) di uno degli ensembles più interessanti, stimolanti e originali, dell'attuale scena europea di emanazione jazzistica (bella ...

Sam Gill, Federico Calcagno, Scofield/Holland & Perelman/Anderson
by Maurice Hogue
Sydney Australia saxophonist Sam Gill's new Sensemaker with his band Coursed Waters is one of the best things I've heard this year, and there are a hell of a lot of excellent recordings, so definitely colour me impressed. Sam's music sounds like it's coming out of the Berlin-New York free jazz axis. Right there also is ...

Moers Festival Interviews: Bart Maris
by Martin Longley
Bart Maris is a heroic Belgian trumpeter, deeply committed to the art of improvisation, treading a wilder jazz path, and possessing a mighty appetite for road-life, gigging prolifically and always seeking out unfamiliar collaborators, knowing that this act will force his own playing into a continual sense of vital change. Therefore, he is a fine choice ...
