Sten Sandell - Mattias Ståhl: Grann Musik (Neighbour Music)

Read "Grann Musik (Neighbour Music)" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff
August 18, 2008

Il rapporto tra pianoforte e vibrafono è sempre vissuto su traiettorie di empatia istintiva: entrambi strumenti di natura percussivo/melodica [sebbene la versatilità del primo non sia comparabile con quella dell'altro], si sono spesso rincorsi nella storia del jazz, andando a braccetto con eleganza [pensiamo a Teddy Wilson e Lionel Hampton, ma ovviamente anche alla coppia John ...

Read "Grann Musik (neighbor music)" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

June 26, 2008

Master Swedish improvisers, pianist Sten Sandell and vibraphonist Mattias Stahl, radiate gobs of colorific contrasts via these freeform-based duets. At times fluid, introspective and somewhat jagged in scope, the artists pursue the art of intuitive music-speak during the prevalence of this 2008 outing.

May 7, 2007

Un incontro ravvicinato tra improvvisatori svedesi e inglesi, catturato dal vivo alla Conway Hall di Londra.La prima sequenza è un lungo drone di chitarra (Stackenas), interrogativo, esplorativo.Poi l'apertura al confronto con il pianoforte (Sandell).

The title of this outing lends a bit of credence to the actual musical presentation as the Trio executes a series of mini-themes amid ...
