John Sharpe's Best Releases of 2015
by John Sharpe
Here in no special order are ten new releases, reviewed in All About Jazz, which stood out among those I heard this year. Mats Gustafsson Hidros 6 Knockin' (Not Two Records) An avant-garde jazz composition based on the songs of '50s rocker Little Richard. Really? Yep, that's the premise ...
Alex Ward Trios & Sextet: Projected / Entities / Removal
by John Eyles
This release follows so hard on the heels of Glass Shelves and Floor (Copepod, 2015) by Alex Ward Quintet that it is tempting to see the two as a matched pair. Released on Ward's own Copepod label, the two have consecutive serial numbers and very similar sleeve designs and graphics. Each of the albums is titled ...
Peter Brotzmann, John Edwards, Steve Noble: Soulfood Available
by Stefano Merighi
Se è vero che l'improvvisazione radicale non è immune dai clichè che vorrebbe oltrepassare, difficile trovare in fallo Peter Brötzmann in questo contesto. La sua inesausta avventura sonora si rafforza sera dopo sera in concerti spesi senza risparmio, con un'incoscienza psicofisica che garantisce sincerità artistica e spesso vette espressive sublimi. Qui siamo a ...
Stefan Keune/Dominic Lash/Steve Noble: Fractions
by John Sharpe
German reedman Stefan Keune has shown a strong affinity for British improv since making a connection with drummer Paul Lytton in 1990. Since then his discography records a number of dates with guitarist John Russell, including appearances at London's now dormant Freedom of the City festival.

Save the Date - Maggio 2015
by Luca Canini
Maggio, tempo di festival. Concerti e rassegne da un angolo all'altro dello Stivale. Piazze piene, cortili aperti, giardini sonanti: non c'è che da scegliere. In base ai gusti, alle distanze e agli impegni. Dal canto nostro, come ogni mese, ci permettiamo di caldeggiare le proposte più allettanti e fuori dagli schemi, lasciando da parte i cartelloni ...
Peter Brotzmann/Keiji Haino/Jim O'Rourke: Two City Blues 2
by Mark Corroto
The music of legendary jazz saxophonist Peter Brötzmann is at its finest when the great man has something to push against. Typically these performances find him collaborating with drummers like Hamid Drake, Paal Nilssen-Love, Steve Noble, or Nasheet Waits. The music is built upon a power-versus-power formula. The drummer bloodies his nose, and he's off--throwing roundhouse ...

by John Sharpe
In spite of its relatively recent vintage, Oto (Bo' Weavil, 2010), the first encounter between Joe McPhee and British improvising trio Decoy, has quickly become one of the veteran multi-instrumentalist 's most popular recordings. By way of follow up Spontaneous Combustion first released as a LP, but now reissued as a double CD with added tracks, ...

Akira Sakata, Giovanni Di Domenico, John Edwards, Steve Noble: Live at Cafe Oto
by John Eyles
Recorded in concert at London's Cafe Oto in January 2014, this album features the kind of cosmopolitan ensemble in which the venue specialises. It brings together veteran Japanese reedsman Akira Sataka and Spanish pianist Giovanni Di Domenico with London's own John Edwards and Steve Noble. The latter pair have virtually become the house bassist and drummer ...
