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 ...

by Tyran Grillo
Ornette Coleman once said that sound has no parents. But that doesn't mean we can't be its children.
