Elephant9: Arrival Of The New Elders
by Chris May
Unlike jazz or rock, both of which originated in the US, jazz-rock was born simultaneously in the US and Europe, with a British band the first off the blocks. Soft Machine's eponymous debut was released in 1968. It was followed by drummer Tony Williams' Lifetime's Emergency! (Polydor) in 1969 and trumpeter Miles Davis' Bitches Brew (Columbia) ...

by Giuseppe Segala
Seacup nasce dalla profonda e sincera esigenza, da parte del batterista fiorentino Stefano Tamborrino, di allargare la propria tavolozza, i propri orizzonti espressivi e artistici, mettendo in scena un organico con quattro archi. Il contrabbasso, invece del secondo violino di un quartetto d'archi classico, compie la somma. Dal lavoro scaturisce uno Stefano Tamborrino inedito e lontano ...

Allison Miller: Driving the Balance
by John Pietaro
Allison Miller sits at the vintage Camco drumkit in her Brooklyn home, playing post-bop over a rolling samba. Within the shimmer of an age-darkened cymbal, she switches from sticks to brushes, filling the room with the shush of summer rain, then a sudden hailstorm as her arms, aerial, traverse snare, tom-toms and cymbals in a blurring, ...

Tim Berne: The Deceptive 4—Live
by Mark Corroto
The difference between disc one and disc two of Tim Berne's Snakeoil release The Deceptive 4, two live recordings made eight years apart, might be the same difference between Miles Davis' first and second great quintets. Where Davis' The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions (Prestige, 2006) with John Coltrane from 1955-56 are stellar, they lack the complex ...
