Jakob Bro: Gefion
by Henning Bolte
Gefion, Danish guitarist Jakob Bro's ECM-debut as leader, is a fascinating reinvention of melodicism. His music leads listeners deep into the rich resonances emerging from brilliantly simple melodic motifs imbued with seductive atmospheres. Like Möbius strips his music's lines wind seemingly endlessly. Its evocative melodic nuclei very often reach the lower limits of dynamics, thereby opening ...
David Virelles: Mbókò
by Luca Canini
Certo che ne ha di talento David Virelles. A quintali, a vagonate. Da affittare, vendere e persino subappaltare. Nell'ottobre del 2012, quando la Pi Recordings mise il timbro su Continuum, secondo disco del pianista di origini cubane, non furono in molti ad accorgersi che era nata una stella. Oggi, a due anni abbondanti ...

by Henning Bolte
A while ago a group of Danish musicians recorded an album entitled “Unintended Consequences."

Tord Gustavsen: Extended Circle
by Libero Farnè
In una certa tradizione ECM questo disco ci propone una delle più rappresentative espressioni del jazz scandinavo, un'immagine nordica impressionistica, nitidamente caratterizzata, per altro contraddetta da tante altre esperienze “forti," nate a quelle latitudini nell'ultimo ventennio. Le composizioni sono prevalentemente del leader: “Staying There" può ricordare le collaborazioni fra Keith Jarrett e Jan Garbarek degli anni ...
Craig Taborn Trio at Gent Jazz Club
by John Sharpe
Craig Taborn Trio Belfort Café Gent, Belgium October 13, 2014 For some an enforced line up change mid tour might have spelled disaster. But pianist Craig Taborn's trio rode their fortune and delivered a, likely adrenaline-fuelled, wonderful performance. When drummer Gerald Cleaver, Taborn's most longstanding accomplice, pulled out ...
