Al suo secondo album in veste di leader per i tipi della Tao Forms dopo l'eccellente Village Mothership, in trio con Matthew Shipp e William Parker (estensore delle note di copertina di questo nuovo capitolo, inciso nel febbraio 2021), Whit Dickey coglie altrettanto felicemente (e, diremmo, naturalmente) nel segno alla testa di questo quartetto (tutti suoi ...

Whit Dickey, William Parker, Matthew Shipp: Village Mothership

by Alberto Bazzurro
January 11, 2023

Inciso nel febbraio 2020 e pubblicato alla fine dell'anno seguente, questo notevole album, frutto di una seduta di libera improvvisazione ma il cui principale responsabile è l'oggi sessantottenne batterista newyorchese Whit Dickey, che nell'ultimo trentennio non ha mancato di fornire ampie testimonianze del suo valore, è di quelli che ci fanno capire quali ragguardevoli risorse e ...

John Sharpe's Best Jazz Albums Of 2022

by John Sharpe
December 31, 2022

From the 200 or so discs that I heard in 2022, here are eleven new issues (in roughly the order I came across them), which gave me the most pleasure.

Whit Dickey Quartet: Root Perspectives

by Mark Corroto
November 4, 2022

If it were possible to inhale an entire recording, Root Perspectives by drummer Whit Dickey's quartet might be the perfect delivery system. The music Dickey has put together comes as currents of wind, both a breeze and a gale. It is a drummer-led recording, but with any session this drummer leads (or plays in as sideman) ...

Kirk Knuffke: Gravity without Airs

by John Sharpe
August 25, 2022

The first evidence of cornetist Kirk Knuffke's hook up with Michael Bisio surfaced on the bassist's alluring Accortet (Relative Pitch, 2015), presaging a continuing string of further collaborations. So perhaps it was inevitable that another Bisio mainstay, pianist Matthew Shipp, would enter into the mix at some point. The surprise is that it is on a ...
