Wadada Leo Smith - Louis Moholo-Moholo: Ancestors
by AAJ Italy Staff
Mai titolo fu più centrato di questo: ancestrale, storico e ampiamente storicizzato, è il ruolo giocato dai due protagonisti di questo bellissimo album nell'evolversi di un jazz di ricerca degli ultimi quarantacinque anni o giù di lì, e ancestrale è il tono stesso del disco, con quel misto di solennità e ritualismo che magistralmente si addice ...
Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out to Lynch
by Eyal Hareuveni
Berlin-based, Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima continues to project his aural impressions of the world of movies. This time he focuses on the eccentric characters and locations from the films of David Lynch, following his abstractions of director Stanley Kubrick on Some Kubricks of Blood (TUM, 2009). Kalima is not attempting to re-score or rearrange the original ...
Wadada Leo Smith & Louis Moholo-Moholo: Ancestors
by Eyal Hareuveni
The title of this remarkable album says it all. American trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith and South African drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo are two forefathers of modern jazz, innovative musicians who redefined the practices of their instruments and the connections between the Afro-American, African and European jazz legacies-- creative composers and esteemed bandleaders for nearly five decades and ...
Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out To Lynch
by Glenn Astarita
Finnish guitarist Kalle Kalima uses the cinema as a platform for riding a wave of abstract impressionism. As this album title intimates, the premise is based on eccentric film director David Lynch's body of work. The band pulls quite a few punches on a per-track basis, spanning cantankerous minimalism, free jazz, and levitating sub-themes amid some ...
Wadada Leo Smith & Louis Moholo-Moholo: Ancestors
by Mark Corroto
The Theology of the Body is an integrated vision of the human person as body, soul, and spirit. Attending the church of jazz, this amalgamation can be best illustrated+ with improvisation and, if so, this duo of trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith and drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo is a sacred meeting.Following the previous releases of Smith's ...
Wadada Leo Smith / Louis Moholo-Moholo: Ancestors
by John Sharpe
There is a natural fit between drums and trumpet. It stretches back all the way into prehistory, with the shamanistic combination of animal horns and percussive devices, persisting up until the early twentieth century in military drum and bugle corps who passed signals and directed troop movement. That synergy continues to bear artistic fruit to the ...

Per questo Triologia hanno scelto di coinvolgere in alcuni brani altri tre musicisti, il trombettista Verneri Pohjola, il saxofonista Juhani Aaltonen e il chitarrista Kalle Kalima, per aggiungere nuovi sapori e nuovi ...
Wadada Leo Smith's Mbira: Dark Lady of the Sonnets
by Dave Wayne
Trumpet and drums--a truly primal combination--are joined by the delicately trilling, archaic and arcane sounds of the Chinese lute or pipa on Dark Lady of the Sonnets, Wadada Leo Smith's musical venture with a new trio, Mbira. At age 70, Smith's torrid creative pace is matched only by the forged-steel strength of his trumpet playing. Percussionist ...
Dave Lindholm - Otto Donner: More Than 123
by AAJ Italy Staff
Di nuovo sotto il sole non c'è nulla, ma in questi casi nulla di nuovo si chiede. Se avete amato le atmosfere da bar di Closing Time, e più in generale di tutto il primissimo Tom Waits, proverete un certo piacere assaporando, come un vecchio whisky, le sette tracce di More Than 123, EP lungo (o ...
FAB Trio: History of Jazz in Reverse
by AAJ Italy Staff
History of Jazz in Reverse si può considerare l'ultimo disco di Billy Bang, ucciso nell'aprile dell'anno scorso da un tumore al polmone. Dopo Leroy Jenkins, Billy Bang è stato il principale violinista del movimento free e negli anni Sessanta fu protagonista di una significativa vicenda umana: dopo la drammatica esperienza militare in Vietnam riuscì a rinascere ...
