Convergence Quartet: Owl Jacket
by John Sharpe
Owl Jacket forms the fourth release over a nine year period from the Convergence Quartet. At the outset, few would have predicted that it would become a going concern, uniting as it did two unknown young English improvisers in pianist Alexander Hawkins and bassist Dominic Lash and two of the brighter emerging talents on the New ...
Leap of Faith/Thomas Heberer: Solution Concepts
by Karl Ackermann
The twenty year history of Leap of Faith includes an eleven year hiatus that is noteworthy more for the cooperative's ability to seamlessly pick up the pieces than for an uber-extended break. Cellist Glynis Lomon--a one-time student of Bill Dixon--was working the Boston circuit with multi-reedist PEK in the 1990s. The two honed their far reaching ...
Mary Halvorson: Meltframe
by Karl Ackermann
In a quietly forceful way, guitarist Mary Halvorson has cemented her place among the company of modern-day counterparts such as Eivind Aarset, Nels Cline and Terje Rypdal. The Brooklyn based composer/musician has performed with the likes of Anthony Braxton (both sharing credentials at Wesleyan University), cornet player Taylor Ho Bynum and the avant-garde group Trevor Dunn's ...
Tim Daisy: October Music – 7 Compositions For Duet (Vol 1)
by Giuseppe Segala
Nel suo libro Ein Fenster aus Jazz (Una finestra sul jazz), il compianto Joachim Ernst Berendt dedica un intero capitolo all'Arte del duo, sottolineando come in tale contesto ancora più che in altre occasioni la relazione umana intensa sia indispensabile.

Anthony Braxton's Sonic Genome at Turin's Jazz Festival 2015
by Francesco Martinelli
Egyptian Museum Turin Jazz Festival Turin, Italy May 28, 2015 Someone might ask: “Why is an African-American saxophonist from Chicago performing inside the Egyptian Museum in Turin? Where is the connection between “da jazz" and Ancient Egypt?" Sorry, but it isn't a legitimate question. If you still don't make the connection, ...
Vicenza Jazz 2015
by Libero Farnè
Vicenza Jazz 2015 vari teatri 8 -16 maggio A differenza degli altri anni, non ha voluto affrontare temi specifici la ventesima edizione di Vicenza Jazz (8-16 maggio in vari spazi), preferendo offrire una possibile sintesi di un'esperienza ventennale di suoni, ritmi e visioni. Come ha ammesso lo stesso Riccardo Brazzale, direttore artistico ...
Nate Wooley: Battle Pieces
by Mark Corroto
Someday trumpeter Nate Wooley is going to sell-out, abandon his principles, and make a smooth jazz record. He will give in to the pull of commercial success and create a disc of elevator music which can be played, but taken no heed of. I jest, because everything he creates necessitates the ear and mind's ...
