Mario Pavone: Street Songs

Read "Street Songs" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto
April 30, 2014

Listing an accordion in a jazz sextet's lineup evokes either thoughts of avant-garde leanings or maybe kitschy hipsterism. Not so for bassist Mario Pavone. Street Songs includes Adam Matlock's bellows-driven squeezebox, not as a gimcrack ornament, but a link to the immigrant working class neighborhood music of Pavone's post-WW II youth. The musician's history ...

Brian Carpenter: In Between The Cracks

by DanMichael Reyes
January 2, 2014

To write that Brian Carpenter has had an interesting career would be an incomplete statement since he holds so many.

Sex Mob Descends On Dublin!

October 11, 2013

Sex Mob is a band out of time: a smartly old-fashioned quartet of world-class musicians with a satchel full of charts. Sex Mob is a band of the now: post-modern waltzes mutating into dub-echoed free jazz. Sex Mob is social music: a rollicking midnight set with clatter and drinks and a band. Sex Mob is a ...

Nino Rota, l'immaginario felliniano e i Sex Mob. Una triangolazione perfetta. Talmente perfetta che vien da chiedersi come mai si sia fatta disco soltanto all'alba del 2013. La risposta è nelle note di copertina. Racconta Steven Bernstein che l'idea dell'omaggio gli ronzava in testa da un bel pezzo. Ma suona qua e partecipa là, si è ...

May 22, 2013

In 1990 the London artists Stewart Home and Mark Pawson proposed that all artists cease to “make, exhibit, distribute, sell, or discuss their work" for three ...
