The Claudia Quintet: Semi-Formal
by AAJ Italy Staff
Memori della gustosa prova precedente, è con ghiotte e baldanzose aspettative che inseriamo nel lettore l’ultimo album del Claudia Quintet. Purtroppo, varcato il primo promettente squarcio, il gusto si guasta un poco e subentra l'amarezza per l'aver osato sperare troppo. Là dove I, Claudia era una precisa sincera originale affermazione d'identità, Semi-Formal raffredda gli entusiasmi e ...
The Claudia Quintet: Semi-Formal
by Judith Insell
To paraphrase the great Bill Evans, “jazz is not so much a style, but a process of making music. John Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet is deeply immersed in this process. Semi-Formal is an interesting synergy of improvisation, Steve Reich-like minimalism and changing moods effected by varying grooves: techno rave drums, pseudo and authentic hip-hop, and polyrhythmic patterns. ...

The Claudia Quintet: Semi-Formal
by Tom Greenland
Painter Georges Seurat, the inventor of pointillism, believed that small, discrete units of color could be effectively juxtaposed to interact in complex yet clarifying ways. John Hollenbeck, drummer and maestromind behind the Claudia Quintet's third release, Semi-Formal, seems to employ a similar modus operandi in his innovative compositional techniques. Writing for a quintet of sonically similar ...
The Claudia Quintet: Semi-Formal
by John Kelman
For the Claudia Quintet's third outing, the group expands on the vocabulary of I, Claudia and each member adds new instruments to his respective arsenal. The logical progression of Semi-Formal continues to explore the meeting point of through-composition, exploratory improvisation, and textural soundscapes that the group has been exploring since its 2002 self-titled debut, but with ...

The Claudia Quintet: I, Claudia
by Mark Sabbatini
Here's something I don't hear a lot of: avant-garde for people who appreciate music. There's a glut of albums with new concepts, daring or just flat-out madness, but 2004's I, Claudia by the Claudia Quintet is a rare disc where something more insightful is happening at the assembly line. Snippets of classical, world beats, ...
The Claudia Quintet: I, Claudia
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
After debuting as a leader with three nearly simultaneous releases two years ago, drummer/composer John Hollenbeck returns with I, Claudia, the sophomore effort from his Claudia Quintet. Consisting of Chris Speed on tenor saxophone and clarinet, Ted Reichman on accordion, Matt Moran on vibes, and Drew Gress on bass, the band adeptly maneuvers the leader's quirky, ...
