Ananda Gari: T-Duality
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il trentenne batterista pugliese Ananda Gari (nome di origine indù) riunisce un quartetto coi controfiocchi e confeziona un album senz'altro degno di attenzione. Con un Tim Berne e lo stesso Michael Formanek, si dirà, è più o meno un gioco da ragazzi. Probabilmente sì, e tuttavia intanto bisogna convincere gente di questo calibro--oltretutto avvezza a suonare ...
Enten Eller: Pietas
by Mark Corroto
There may be an Italian jazz ensemble that has been together longer than Enten Eller, but certainly there's not one that is as innovative and expressive as this quartet. Founded some 25 years ago by guitarist Maurizio Brunod and drummer Massimo Barbiero, the group has maintained its lineup with trumpeter Albert Mandarini and bassist Giovanni Maier ...
Ananda Gari: T - Duality

Tyshawn Sorey: Alloy
by Karl Ackermann
From an early age composer/drummer/educator Tyshawn Sorey has found creative outlets in not just music but in painting and literature as well. Never one to compartmentalize his own imagination, he has enthusiastically explored blues, gospel, classical and music for dance so it seems quite natural that his current music defies categories. Whether listening or writing, he ...
Sarah Manning: Harmonious Creature
by Alberto Bazzurro
La giovane sassofonista del New Hampshire, estremo nord-est statunitense, ha certo più di una freccia al suo arco. Ce lo dice con chiarezza questo suo ultimo lavoro, inciso all'inizio del 2013 alla testa del proprio quintetto, entro cui un ruolo quasi altrettanto rilevante della leader gioca il violista Etvind Kang, specificatamente per l'impasto (per certi versi ...
The Cellar and Point: The Cellar and Point: Ambit
by Paul Naser
The unique atmosphere of The Cellar and Point's newest record Ambit (Cuneiform, 2014) is difficult to pin down in words, let alone to classify as a particular genre. Drummer Joe Branciforte and guitarist Chris Botta's brainchild, the result of years of absorbing influences as diverse as the Wu Tang Clan and Anton Webern, is an intriguing ...

by John Kelman
When München's Haus der Kunst sponsored a nearly three-month exhibition about the ECM Records label, ECM: A Cultural Archeology, which ran from November, 2012 to February, 2013, there was far more to it than just bringing together collections of album covers, rarely seen video, archival tapes, imagery and concert performances. As much as ECM has carved ...
Samo Salamon: 2Alto
by Vincenzo Roggero
Settantacinque minuti di musica e non sentirli. Merito del chitarrista di origine slovena Samo Salamon e del suo bassless quartet, formazione atipica, una sorta di espansione dei differenti trii che Salamon ha allestito con musicisti del calibro di Tim Berne, Tom Rainey, Paul McCandless, Achille Succi. L'assenza del contrabbasso, se da un lato è uno spot ...
Chris Speed: Really OK
by Glenn Astarita
Saxophonist, clarinetist, Chris Speed has been in the thick of things the past several decades. He's been a co-conspirator in trendsetting ensembles led by alto saxophonists, composers Tim Berne, John Zorn, and leading-edge outfits Claudia Quintet and Pachora amid a host of other noteworthy projects.
