Jen Shyu and Theo Bleckmann: Breaking the Song Barrier

Read "Jen Shyu and Theo Bleckmann: Breaking the Song Barrier" reviewed by Daniel Lehner


Before Robert Moog came out with the first synthesizer, before Adolphe Sax invented his famous reed instrument, before the trumpets sounded at Jericho, even before the world's ancient tribes tightened their animal skins to make drums, humanity's first instrument was the voice. Not that this is of particular consequence to Theo Bleckmann. “To me, that argument ...

Festival International Musique Actuelle Victoriaville Victoriaville, Canada May 19-22, 2011 The 27th annual Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville (FIMAV) was a remarkably consistent four days of concerts. It held high points, to be sure (the Ex, Zeena Parkins, Jaap Blonk), and inevitable low points as well. But there was also ...

Taylor Ho Bynum - John Hébert - Gerald Cleaver: Book of Three

Read "Book of Three" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Un trio dedito per lo più all'improvvisazione da camera, che cerca di evidenziare le straordinarie qualità dei singoli all'interno di un discorso rigorosamente collettivo. La musica non si concentra su materiale tematico ma evolve da idee ritmico-timbriche, spesso scure, drammatiche. C'è un evidente legame con la vecchia scuola chicagoana, come nella magnifica apertura di “White Birch": ...

Taylor Ho Bynum / John Hebert / Gerald Cleaver: Book Of Three

Read "Book Of Three" reviewed by John Sharpe


While trumpet plus rhythm trios are not a dime a dozen, they are becoming increasingly common currency.

Stephen Haynes: Parrhesia

Read "Parrhesia" reviewed by John Sharpe


There's something about the plain brown recycled chipboard sleeve of Parrhesia, with its letter-pressed script, which relates to the music contained inside. It's not just the concern for sustainability, but also the understated, organic yet singular nature of the package. Trumpeter Stephen Haynes' leadership debut has been a long time coming, which perhaps suggests undue modesty. ...

Weasel Walter/ Mary Halvorson/ Peter Evans: Electric Fruit

Read "Electric Fruit" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The meeting of guitarist Mary Halvorson, trumpeter Peter Evans, and drummer Weasel Walter is something more than an informal chinwag and something less than a formal colloquy. These six improvised tracks act as a show-and- tell demonstration of the immense talents of tomorrow's--and, maybe today's--creative giants.In the past few years, Halvorson's trio disc, Dragon's ...

Matt Bauder: Day In Pictures

Read "Day In Pictures" reviewed by Troy Collins


Day In Pictures is Matt Bauder's first traditional jazz recording as the leader of a stellar acoustic quintet. Far from a debut, the young Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist already has a number of eclectic releases to his name, but none delve as far into the nuances of jazz tradition as this refined platter. His previous albums expand on ...
