Stephan Crump - James Carney: Echo Run Pry
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tutti e due vengono dalla scena downtown newyorkese, da noi forse il più conosciuto è Stephan Crump ascoltato spesso nel trio di Vijay Iyer. Insieme firmano un album composto da due lunghe improvvisazioni in cui convivono ricerca cameristica e lunghe fughe in libertà. Episodi introspettivi si alternano a improvvisazioni di forte espressionismo sviluppati tuttavia sul filo ...

The Jazz Session #181: Stephan Crump
Bassist Stephan Crump formed the Rosetta Trio with guitarists Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox to play music he composed in response to September 11. Now, with their second album, Reclamation (Sunnyside, 2010), the trio continues to explore an exposed and intimate sonic landscape.

Stephan Crump: Reclamation
by Kurt Gottschalk
The 2006 debut of Stephan Crump's Rosetta (Papillon Sounds) was unusual in a number of ways, not least that it didn't seem to be trying to be unusual. The trio of upright bass, acoustic guitar and electric guitar played tightly woven, structured music, even without a drummer, and managed to find new ground in the shrinking ...

by Mark F. Turner
The dialog that began in 2005's Rosetta (Papillon Sounds) continues in Reclamation, as bassist Stephan Crump's Rosetta Trio--including guitarists Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox--articulates a wealth of ideas. With music that is not easily categorized, the trio's influences are pandemic as Crump states “every bit of music and life that each member of the trio has ...
Stephan Crump: Reclamation
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Vignettes in music are not all that uncommon--or unusual, for that matter. But when they are only partially written--or mostly suggested--by the composer, to be largely interpreted and improvised with singular flights of the imagination then they are not simply uncommon, but beautifully unique. Moreover, if the performers form a string trio where a myriad of ...
Stephan Crump - Reclamation (Sunnyside)
Echoing the ancient cross-textual applications of its namesake, Stephan Crump's Rosetta Trio is something of a departure in contemporary jazz: A string ensemble that translates the chamber connotations of its instrumentation into a strong rhythmic versatility more endemic to American folk forms. Crump leads the group from a position of quiet authority on double bass. Guitarists ...
Vijay Iyer: Historicity
by Chris Kompanek
Pianist Vijay Iyer's compositions are ferociously paced and fractured with a sense of urgency that informs each note he plays. Historicity's title track opens the record, grabbing the listener immediately with the pianist's unique touch, carrying through on other original compositions such as “Helix"--a ballad on the surface that explodes midway through with frenetic energy. This ...
Vijay Iyer Trio: Historicity
by Chris May
There is much that is exciting about pianist Vijay Iyer and almost as much that is irritating. The excitement is in the music and the irritation in the miasma of cerebralization that surrounds it. The most recent instance of the latter comes with the packaging for Historicity. Any album title which requires a fairly lengthy liner ...
