Esa Helasvuo: Stella Nova
by AAJ Italy Staff
Autorevole esponente del jazz finlandese moderno, Helasvuo torna ad incidere con l'ambizioso intento di presentare brani composti sul momento. Liberata da rigide strutture, la musica proposta viene lasciata libera di fluire in un denso ribollire di idee. La pratica jazzistica del pianista è il punto di partenza per una colta riflessione musicale, che mette in campo ...
Iro Haarla Sextet: Kolibri
by John Sharpe
On Kolibri, Finnish pianist Iro Haarla brings together four mainstays of the country's improvised music scene, along with rising trumpet star Verneri Pohjola, in an outfit which sits mid way between a small group and a big band in terms of its capabilities. It's an accomplished unit. All six were part of the TUMO agglomeration which ...
Billy Bang: Da Bang!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Da Bang!, registrato il 2 e 3 febbraio a Helsinki, è con tutta probabilità l'ultima registrazione del violinista Billy Bang, deceduto solo due mesi più tardi a New York per un male incurabile. Nel solito elegante libretto che accompagna le pubblicazioni TUM Records sono riportati alcuni brevi poemi declamati dagli stessi autori (Amiri Baraka il più ...
Billy Bang: Da Bang!
by Eyal Hareuveni
The final recording of the late violinist Billy Bang from February 2011, days before his final performance in the TUMfest 11 in Helsinki, is a celebration of his life as musician. Bang chose for this recording compositions of innovative musicians in the history of jazz--Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins-- that were part ...
Wadada Leo Smith & Tumo: Occupy The World
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo Ten Feedom Summer, evento concertistico e discografico tra i più memorabili degli ultimi anni, il trombettista e compositore Wadada Leo Smith torna ad incidere con una grande formazione realizzando un doppio album ancora una volta dalla grande valenza politica/civile e ancora una volta dallo straordinario impatto musicale. Questa volta Smith, insieme al collaboratore di lunga ...
Iro Haarla Sextet: Kolibri
by Eyal Hareuveni
Finnish Pianist-composer Iro Haarla's compositions for her sextet emphasize her aim to reach a different, larger sound than the sound of her Finnish-Norwegian quintet (Northbound and Vespers, both on ECM, 2006 and 2011). This sextet is comprised of top Finnish musicians who collaborated closely with her in the past and began to work as the sextet ...
Billy Bang: Da Bang!
by Glenn Astarita
Da Bang was recorded two months before violinist Billy Bang's battle with cancer ended in April, 2011. The album title is lifted from Bang's former FAB Trio band mate, drummer Barry Altschul. Indeed, Bang was an influential presence, partly due to his cutting-edge improvisational faculties. He was an artiste markedly comfortable in most any setting. On ...
Billy Bang: Da Bang!
by John Sharpe
Even were one not viewing Da Bang! through the lens of this being violinist Billy Bang's last album, recorded just two short months before he succumbed to cancer in April 2011, there is still a detectable elegiac air which pervades even the brightest tracks. That's not the fault of the cast, although trombonist Dick Griffin comes ...
Wadada Leo Smith: Occupy the World
by Eyal Hareuveni
Great trumpeter and composer Wadada Leo Smith's five epic extended compositions collected on the double album Occupy The World mark him as a major American composer with a musical language and artistic vision that transcends the boundaries of the Afro-American heritage of jazz. Smith wrote complex orchestral works before, most notably on the masterful, extensive 4-discs ...
