Myra Melford, Zeena Parkins, Miya Masaoka: M Z M
by Stefano Merighi
Magnifico trio di veterane della musica improvvisata che superano se stesse con una musica acuminata, provocatoria, anarchica ma dall'assoluto rigore interno. Vale a dire che pur infrangendo continuamente le regole del bon ton musicale e rischiando assai nel rifiuto quasi assiomatico del discorso narrativo, il trio trova con naturalezza una conversazione paritaria ma soprattutto sensata, cpunta ...

If you have a pigeonhole into which you would like to place pianist Sylvie Courvoisier's music, maybe stop reading right now. The Swiss-born, now twenty-year native of New York, apportions her many talents to multiple ensembles and musical styles--solo to large ensemble, chamber works, Downtown jazz, flamenco, European classical and improvisation. Needless to say, stagnant is ...
Never Alone: Reflections on the 2018 Winter Jazzfest
by Tyran Grillo
Ornette Coleman once said that sound has no parents. But that doesn't mean we can't be its children. On that point, jazz has always been something of a parental force, connecting progenies of representation across geographic and cultural borders. Its relationship to struggle has, however, at times been overshadowed by debate. On the one hand, jazz ...
Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: D'Agala

Swiss-born pianist Sylvie Courvoisier has spent close to twenty years in the states honing her distinctive approach to classically-inflected jazz improvisation. Along the way she's worked with a who's-who of leading-edge musicians, including veterans like John Zorn, Evan Parker and Ellery Eskelin, but also the younger generation of avant-gardists such as Mary Halvorson and Nate Wooley. ...
