Composer/Musician Wayne Horvitz Releases Some Places Are Forever Afternoon (Songlines), Paying Tribute to Poet Richard Hugo SEATTLE, WA — Known for his multifaceted musical personality, composer/musician Wayne Horvitz ventures into progressively-inclined acoustic jazz and ultra-modern classicism in his latest album, Some Places Are Forever Afternoon.

Wayne Horwitz: The Royal Room Collective Music Ensemble
by Maurizio Zerbo
Ascoltare un CD di Wayne Horvitz è sempre un'esperienza sorprendente, grazie al suo eclettismo assai raro nel mondo del jazz. Dedicata a Butch Morris con cui il leader aveva collaborato negli anni '80, l'opera in esame ne esplora la direzione improvvisata meglio conosciuta come “conduction." Prende così forma un percorso estemporaneo fatto di ...
The Westerlies: Wish the Children Would Come on Home
by Vincenzo Roggero
Due trombe, due tromboni quattro fiati che soffiano le note della musica di Wayne Horvitz, presente con le sue tastiere in qualche brano, ma in maniera discreta, in punta di piedi, ad assicurare un contatto fisico con la sua musica da dietro le quinte, per non disturbare e lasciare massima libertà ai giovani interpreti. È questo ...

Dylan Ryan Sand: Circa
by Maurizio Comandini
Dopo l'eccellente Bleached Sky del 2012, il trio del batterista Dylan Ryan torna sul luogo del delitto con una bella tanica di benzina e accende un fuoco capace di brillare per la notte intera. L'incendiario principale è, come al solito, il bravissimo chitarrista Tim Young, cresciuto all'ombra di Wayne Horvitz e dei suoi Zony Mash, con ...
Wayne Horvitz/The Royal Room Collective Music Ensemble: At The Reception, Wayne Horvitz: 55: Music And Dance In Concrete
by John Ephland
Wayne Horvitz is a musical universe unto himself. Has been for well over 35 years. And it's not just his stick-to-it-ive-ness that continues to make his music so damn engaging, a contrariness redefined. Consider these two recent releases as prime examples. The composer/bandleader/keyboardist (who turns 60 in 2015) has a musical history that just might grab ...
Wayne Horvitz/The Royal Room Collective Music Ensemble: At The Reception
by Mark Corroto
Wayne Horvitz already has lovely. It's a tool he wields with ease in his music, be it in his Gravitas Quartet of piano/trumpet/cello/bassoon, his Sweeter Than The Day acoustic quartet or the electric Zony Mash. He even brought lovely to John Zorn's shocking Naked City bands of the 1990s. Horvitz has the ability to distill music, ...
Dylan Ryan / Sand: Circa
by Troy Collins
Sand is the latest project from forward-thinking drummer Dylan Ryan, leader and principal composer of Herculaneum, a progressive ensemble that skillfully negotiates the tenuous divide between avant-garde jazz and instrumental post-rock. This smaller lineup (featuring guitarist Timothy Young and bassist Devin Hoff) evinces a similar aesthetic, exploring the harmonic, melodic and rhythmic intricacies of creative improvised ...
