Gianni Lenoci / Kent Carter / Bill Elgart: Plaything
by John Sharpe
Italian pianist Gianni Lenoci forms one apex of a trio with almost unlimited collective nous on Plaything. There are main two reasons for that: Kent Carter on bass and Bill Elgart on drums, both veterans of the 1964 October Revolution in Jazz, who have since carved niches for themselves in Europe. Carter 's early exposure arrived ...
Secondo capitolo per il trio di Giovanni Guidi
by Angelo Leonardi
A distanza di un anno da City of Broken Dreams, l'ECM pubblica in questi giorni il nuovo capitolo del trio di Giovanni Guidi con Thomas Morgan e João Lobo, This Is the Day. Un lavoro particolarmente raffinato e maturo, con nuove splendide composizioni e una ricca empatia. Il pianista umbro ce ne parla in quest'intervista.
Marcin Wasilewski Trio with Joakim Milder: Spark of Life
by Neri Pollastri
Il rodato trio di Marcin Wasilewski si allarga a quartetto ospitando il sassofonista svedese Joakim Milder, che si mostra adattissimo alla poetica della formazione polacca e ne esalta gli aspetti lirici e riflessivi. Non a caso, perché Milder nel 1997 era stato parte dello splendido lavoro che Tomasz Stanko--mentore di Wasilewski, Slawomir Kurkiewicz e Michal Miskiewicz--aveva ...

Pulsarus: Bee Itch
by Glenn Astarita
When discussing progressive jazz contexts, let us not forget our brothers and sisters in Poland who have been riding the cutting-edge schema for decades, evidenced by pianists Adam Makowicz, Marcin Wasilewski, trumpeter Tomasz Stańko and other notables of the global jazz and improvising network. However, the young For Tune record label highlights fledgling talent and seasoned ...
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 ...
Chad McCullough & Bram Weijters: Abstract Quantities
by Dan McClenaghan
Trumpeter Chad McCullough debuted as a leader in 2009 with the superb Dark Wood, Dark, Water (Origin Records). He's stayed busy ever since, recording with The Kora Band--inspired by the sounds of Africa--Tunnel Six, and the two horn, chordless The Spin Quartet, along with two previous modern jazz sets on Origin Records on which he teamed ...
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 ...
Tomasz Stanko: Leosia
by Budd Kopman
Recorded in 1996 and released in 1997, Leosia is not only one of the high points of trumpeter Tomasz Stanko's forty-year career, but one of the absolute gems in the ECM catalogue, twenty years removed from his first ECM recording, Balladyna. The album itself is one of those things that just seems perfect from ...
