Martin Küchen, Johan Berthling, Steve Noble: Night in Europe
by AAJ Staff
Dopo quasi cinquant'anni di pratiche e di forti testimonianze registrate, l'improvvisazione in Europa sembra avere codificato lessici e grammatiche, sia che si tratti di percorsi che si riallacciano più naturalmente alla sperimentazione del campo della composizione musicale Novecentesca, sia che -come accade nel caso del disco in questione -il modello New Thing di matrice più schiettamente ...

by Mark Sullivan

On her own she has released two quintet albums on ECM: Northbound (2005) and Vespers (2010). That quintet (with a couple of personnel substitutions) is integrated into an extended composition with symphony orchestra on ...

Blameful Isles: Strange But Not Entirely Unattractive
by Dave Wayne
Essentially a one-man-band based in Sweden, Blameful Isles is one of many artists who are actively rediscovering and re-processing the sounds of the early jazz-rock movement of the 1970s. Overall, the ongoing re-vitalization of jazz-rock and fusion has been a really good thing. For audiences of a certain age, the mere sound of a real Fender ...
Mats Gustafsson: MG50 Peace & Fire
by Mark Corroto
Mats Gustafsson at fifty. Name another artist who has had this significant and widespread effect on jazz, noise, free improvisation, alternative rock, electronica, and free jazz. Besides John Zorn, that pool is quite shallow. Gustafsson's music seems to attract innovative players into imaginative situations. If you are a fan, this 50th birthday celebration recorded in October, ...

Alberto Pinton Noi Siamo: Resiliency
by Alberto Bazzurro
Fra reminiscenze dolphyane, in particolare quando imbraccia il clarinetto basso, o piuttosto riconducibili all'Original Quartet ornettiano, per l'estetica complessiva, Alberto Pinton si ricollega in maniera nient'affatto supina o scontata alle fonti di quell'avanguardia storica (nonché, ovviamente, storicizzata) a cui evidentemente sente di appartenere. Dei sei brani complessivi, ripresi nel corso di un'esibizione al ...
