Xiu Xiu: Nina
by Mark Corroto
Like a horrendous and gruesome accident you pass on the expressway, listening to the Jamie Stewart's covers of Nina Simone's music is both repulsive and abhorrent, but ultimately impossible to escape. Seems you just have to listen. Stewart and his avant-garde group Xiu Xiu probably have never had their discs filed in ...

Matt Mitchell: Fiction
by Glenn Astarita
Pianist Matt Mitchell and drummer Ches Smith align for a rather remarkable program as Fiction offers additional credence to the respective artist's increased stature in the progressive jazz community and A-list session status. Among their extensive resumes of group affiliations, the instrumentalists are members of saxophonist Tim Berne's Snake Oil group. Mitchell originally composed ...
Memories in Motian
by Zeno De Rossi
Soon after hearing about Paul Motian's passing (November 22, 2011) I felt the urge to delve (again) into his music. Later on, inspired by a moving writing by Ellery Eskelin (published on his website and reproduced below, by his kind permission), I thought it would have been interesting to collect brief memories from ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: Shadow Man
by Glenn Astarita
Alto saxophonist Tim Berne's Snakeoil is a group that bonds asymmetrical contours into the big picture, where many progressive jazz aficionados often expect the unexpected from this artist who radiates an antithesis to conventional norms. More of the gradual ascensions, tricky time signatures, fractured flows and odd-metered unison choruses come into play on Shadow Man. Berne's ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: Shadow Man
by Troy Collins
New York-based alto saxophonist Tim Berne has long been regarded one of the Downtown scene's most forward-thinking bandleaders. Among his peers, no other artist has so often fostered the creative talent of subsequent generations; multi-instrumentalist Chris Speed, keyboardist Craig Taborn and drummer Jim Black all spent their formative years playing alongside the veteran saxophonist. Likewise, Berne ...
Introducing Polish Trumpeter Tomasz Dabrowski
by Eyal Hareuveni
Polish trumpeter Tomasz Dąbrowski, now based in Denmark, is a rising and promising force in the European scene. He has a strong, instantly recognizable sound and expressive tone. His versatile musical language references the American fiery free jazz, Eastern European and Balkan folk music, the Scandinavian contemplative jazz and contemporary, avant-garde music. Dąbrowski already released eleven ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: Shadow Man
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ad un anno di distanza dal notevole debutto su ECM, Tim Berne's Snakeoil rilancia e raddoppia. Shadow Man, questo è il titolo, conferma le meraviglie del precedente album, senza trasformarsi in un sequel, seppur di alto livello, ma evolvendo in cosa nuova, a tratti spiazzante come è nelle corde e nella curiosità innata del suo leader. ...
Aaron Parks: Arborescence
by John Kelman
Slowly but surely, over the past several years, ECM Records has forged relationships with some of New York City's most impressive musicians--no mean feat given that, despite the Big Apple no longer being the jazz mecca it once was, it certainly remains a lightning rod for some of the world's most creative musicians, ranging from trumpeter ...
