Memories in Motian

Read "Memories in Motian" reviewed by Zeno De Rossi


Poco dopo aver appreso la triste notizia della morte di Paul Motian, avvenuta il 22 novembre 2011, ho sentito la forte esigenza di ri-tuffarmi in profondità nella sua musica.

Samo Salamon: 2Alto

Read "2Alto" reviewed 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 ...

Ingrid Laubrock Octet: Zurich Concert

Read "Zurich Concert" reviewed by John Sharpe


Even though numbering just eight strong, Ingrid Laubrock makes such skillful use of the talented cast at her disposal on Zurich Concert that the band delivers an almost orchestral experience. She achieves that through the deployment of three chordal instruments in Mary Halvorson's guitar, Liam Noble's piano and Ted Reichman's accordion. Not that you would characterize ...

Tom Rainey: Obbligato

Read "Obbligato" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Ecco un disco bello, intelligente, del tutto convincente in quanto rimane aderente ad una precisa tradizione jazzistica, riuscendo nello stesso tempo a trascenderla e rivitalizzarla. L'idea è semplice: reinterpretare composizioni storiche del repertorio jazzistico, fra le quali alcuni standard ben noti ed altri meno frequentati, conferendo loro un'insolita veste armonica, strutturale e ...

Elias Stemeseder / Devin Gray / Anna Webber: Jagged Spheres

Read "Jagged Spheres" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The collective trio of Elias Stemeseder, Devin Gray, and Anna Webber ask you to separate the composed elements from the improvised on their debut release Jagged Spheres. The three soon-to-breakout players opt for a musical salmagundi here, filling their plates with minimalist improvisation, noisy thrashings, and organically grown interactions in this chamber jazz presentation.
