Evan Parker - Ned Rothenberg: Live at Roulette
by AAJ Italy Staff
E’ istruttivo oltre che affascinante ascoltare Evan Parker e Ned Rothenberg suonare in duo. La loro fraterna collaborazione ottiene, tra gli altri, il risultato singolare di far sfumare incantevolmente le rispettive identità radicali. O meglio: di avvicinare e infine far combaciare le diverse identità culturali che possono fin troppo condizionare un improvvisatore. Con Evan e Ned, ...
Evan Parker / Ned Rothenberg: Live at Roulette
by Matthew Miller
Multi-reedists Evan Parker and Ned Rothenberg have spent their careers challenging the accepted notions of jazz and music in general. It isn't a crusade or rebellion, but rather a personal search manifested in their vast and varied discographies, a relentless probing that characterizes much of Live at Roulette. Recorded in October of 2006--and ...
Derek Bailey: Standards
by Mark Corroto
The world is a bit lonelier now that guitarist Derek Bailey has passed away. The freedom his music allowed is, or should be, a model to every musician and listener interested in the creative process. This signature album, Standards, follows the 2002 Tzadik Records release of the infamous Ballads sessions, but was in fact recorded before ...
Derek Bailey: Standards
by AAJ Italy Staff
Natale, sempre Natale. Con il Derek Bailey degli ultimi anni non c'è verso di sfuggire a questa ricorrenza, nel bene e nel male. Il ricordo va al Natale 2005, quello che se l'è portato via [ma una volta Babbo Natale non si accontentava di latte e biscotti?], ma se ci spingiamo qualche anno più addietro, nel ...
Steve Coleman: Invisible Paths: First Scattering
by Mark Corroto
To admire the music of saxophonist Steve Coleman is, indeed to admire the man. From his origins as a Chicago musician to his current life full of exploration of philosophy, musicology, symbols, and language, he has kept a directness and lucidity about his musical presentation. Invisible Paths: First Scattering is his first solo session, ...

John Zorn: From Silence To Sorcery

Marc Ribot: Asmodeus - Book of Angels, Volume 7
by Troy Collins
Asmodeus: The Book of Angels, Volume 7 is the most visceral exploration of the Masada songbook yet. In 2004, composer John Zorn added an additional 300 pieces to his already massive collection of Masada tunes. In the ensuing years, these pieces have been performed and recorded by a variety of ensembles beyond the original Masada Quartet. ...
The Cracow Klezmer Band: Remembrance
by Elliott Simon
This month, Krakow, Poland plays host to the world's top klezmer musicians as they take part in the city's 17th Jewish Cultural Festival. That a celebratory event of this magnitude occurs in a city that, prior to the Holocaust, was home to one of the most important Jewish cultural centers in Europe is evidence of this ...
Fred Frith/Chris Cutler: Issue Two
by Marc Medwin
This addition to the Frith/Cutler catalogue was recorded during the Henry Cow reunion weekend at New York City's The Stone in December, 2006; for those familiar with the recent working methods of both musicians, the only surprise is how rich and full this document sounds. Consisting of one 50-minute track, the duo creates the illusion of ...
