Tom Rainey Trio: Hotel Grief

Read "Hotel Grief" reviewed by Stefano Merighi

by Stefano Merighi

Se c'è Tom Rainey dietro i tamburi, state certi che la musica palpita, veleggia, s'impenna. Che sia un piano-trio jazz (Kenny Werner, Fred Hersch, Kris Davis) o un gruppo a composizione stratificata e complessa (Tim Berne), oppure un gioco di libera improvvisazione (i Lark, Tony Malaby), il drumming di Rainey è garanzia di sorpresa, tensione drammatica, ...

Simon Jermyn's Trot A Mouse: Pictorial Atlas of Mammals

Read "Pictorial Atlas of Mammals" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Nel peregrinare per il mondo di Simon Jermyn, bassista di Dublino da anni residente a Brooklyn, la permanenza in quel di Reykjavik, Islanda, ed il contatto con quella scena musicale, sembra aver esercitato una particolare influenza sul mondo musicale presente in Pictorial Atlas of Mammals. Già dai primi minuti emerge con chiarezza il pensiero che informerà ...

Tom Rainey Trio: Hotel Grief

Read "Hotel Grief" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

In spite of a bulging discography, Hotel Grief constitutes only the fourth entry under drummer Tom Rainey's leadership. It follows Pool School (Clean Feed, 2010) and Camino Cielo Echo (Intakt, 2012) by the same all star line up, comprising Mary Halvorson on guitar and Ingrid Laubrock on saxophones. After two studio dates, this time out they ...

In a thirty-year career as a leader, Irish bassist Ronan Guilfoyle has built an international reputation as a rhythmically advanced musician and a sophisticated, challenging composer.

Mette Henriette Martedatter Rølvåg: Mette Henriette

Read "Mette Henriette" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

In her debut recording with the large Norwegian ensemble Torg on Kost/Elak/Gnäll (Jazzland Recordings, 2015), the playing of saxophonist Mette Henriette Martedatter Rølvåg may well have been lost in the pack. That Bugge Wesseltoft produced album was an unrestrained mashup of genres, styles and techniques in an octet that didn't easily lend itself to individual performance ...

Ingrid Laubrock: Ubatuba

Read "Ubatuba" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

It's hard to believe that German born saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock has been recording since the late 1990s, perhaps because there is a distinct newness to every project she releases. Although she trained with Jean Toussaint in London for a short time and later with Dave Liebman, Laubrock is very much a self-made artist with ...

RelativE ResonancE: RelativE ResonancE

Read "RelativE ResonancE" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

The music of drummer and composer Devin Gray traverses terrains that will be familiar to those who've investigated artists such as Tyshawn Sorey and Steve Lehman. As complex and highly structured as Gray's music can be, there's a palpable human warmth throughout Relative Resonance which makes the music--in spite of its ultra-busy, highly demanding nature--kind of ...

Ingrid Laubrock Anti-House: Roulette of the Cradle

Read "Roulette of the Cradle" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

The fact that Ingrid Laubrock's Anti-house is an established working band is borne out by the degree of trust the German saxophonist places in her world class cast of collaborators. But even though she doesn't put in an appearance until part way through the second track, her imprint is all over the outfit's third release, which ...

Gent Jazz Festival Bijloke Gent, Belgium July 10-12, 2015 Part 1 | Part 2 A bold beginning was made with the festival's opening night, perhaps concentrating on some of director Bertrand Flamang's personal favourites. This evening was never destined to be a sell-out session, but ...
