Tiziano Tononi, Emanuele Parrini: Other Interactions... On July 5th
by Neri Pollastri
Non sbagliano un colpo Emanuele Parrini e Tiziano Tononi: forti di mille collaborazioni, dopo The Many Moods of Interaction, il loro lavoro in duo di un paio di anni orsono, adesso allargano le interazioni e la formazione, accogliendo il contrabbasso di Andrea Grossi, il sax soprano di Roberto Ottaviano e il trombone di Steve Swell, regalandoci ...
Steve Swell, Matthew Shipp: Space Cube Jazz
by Alberto Bazzurro
Una bella verve e doti di reciproco ascolto e comprensione-interazione danno fiato a questo lavoro in duo da parte di una coppia di musicisti, del resto, sempre molto attenti a non rimanere intrappolati nelle sabbie mobili dell'ovvio e del “tanto per..." La loro musica sa essere infatti sempre lucida, concentrata sul dettaglio quanto sugli equilibri complessivi ...
Joëlle Léandre: Lifetime Rebel
by Mark Corroto
Joëlle Léandre is the definition of a force of nature. She is unstoppable, unforgettable, and full of boundless energy. It is the nature of her force that recordings like Lifetime Rebel attempt to capture. These four CDs--plus an interview and solo performance DVD--capture a moment, but just a moment of her inexhaustible spirit, before she moves ...

Hirsh / Swell / Clouse / Parker: Out On A Limb
by Mark Corroto
Can déjà vu be contagious? Or at least a particular quality or disposition that is communicable? This might be the question to ask after sitting down with Out On A Limb by the improvising quartet of Steve Hirsh, Steve Swell, Jim Clouse, and William Parker. The music this unit created spontaneously in April 2024 does not ...
Joëlle Léandre / Elizabeth Harnik / Zlatko Kaućić: Live In St. Johann
by Mark Corroto
"I was in the house when the house burned down" is a thought sure to happen to many a concert attendee after a performance by legendary French bassist Joelle Leandre. She is a force of nature, a demanding and uninhibited artist. In her presence, a listener can feel the combustion generated by her performances. The same ...
Rob Brown Quartet: Oblongata
by John Sharpe
Although reedman Rob Brown has a string of small group leadership outings to his name, dating back to his first, Breath Rhyme (Silkheart) in 1990, Oblongata may be one of his finest. The 2022 studio session reunites him with some of his most enduring collaborators, the same crew responsible for From Here To Hear (Rogue Art, ...
John Blum / David Murray / Chad Taylor: The Recursive Tree
by John Sharpe
Three equally potent partners combine in a spontaneous and intense outpouring on The Recursive Tree. Neither reedman David Murray or drummer Chad Taylor require much introduction. Murray has been a colossus on the scene ever since he first erupted onto the stages of lofts across Manhattan back in 1976. Taylor has become increasingly ubiquitous, recognized as ...
Rob Brown: Oceanic
by John Sharpe
Solo albums for single-line instruments such as the saxophone always present a challenge. One that many but not all rise to meet. For New York City reedman Rob Brown, Oceanic is only the second such document in a career stretching back some 35 years, following an obscure CDR-only release, Silver Sun Afternoon (Nolabel, 2003). Over that ...
Frank Carlberg, Karl Evangelista & Benoit Delbecq
by Maurice Hogue
Thelonious Monk has always been a magnet for jazz pianists. Frank Carlberg's fascination with the mysterious Monk has led to a second recording with his large ensemble. It's called Elegy For Thelonious. San Francisco guitarist Karl Evangelista is one who tends to fly under the radar, but his recent What Else Is There?, recorded in Chicago, ...
