Trio Pipeline: Kakuan Suite
by Mark Corroto
The concept is simple enough; sandwiched in between two group improvisations is the Kakuan Suite, a series of seven anagram parts (a couple repeated) that make up the ten tracks heard here. Giancarlo Nino Locatelli (Bb and alto clarinet) composed the pieces, based on the movement of his fingers on his instruments' keys, in effect creating ...
The Pandemic Sessions: Duos, Part 1
by Mark Corroto
After the initial shock of the COVID-19 crisis and subsequent lockdown, artists did what artists do. Unable to tour, many musicians created solo projects. Musicians, like other sentient beings though, crave contact, so when some of the most severe restrictions lifted, duos were formed and production returned. These small positive steps (note: some were recorded before ...
KORR: Tombé de la voûte
by Mark Corroto
Let's face the truth of free improvisation. It is a hit-and-miss endeavor. Three musicians starting from naught and trying to create something, something from nothing. If the musicians are seasoned, maybe they fall back on clichés and stock phrasings, that approach being the banal equivalent of nothing. When improvisers hit upon something fresh it ...
The Pandemic Sessions: Solos, Part 2
by Mark Corroto
Part 1 | Part 2 The entire world was in lockdown during the COVID-19 crisis, and of course, that included musicians. Unable to tour and record with their various ensembles, many artists prepared solo projects (some recorded before the virus struck). Most of the music is very personal, as if the artists are asking ...

Giancarlo Nino Locatelli: Situations
by Neri Pollastri
Sperimentatore delle più diverse forme performative, esploratore della musica di Thelonious Monk, maestro supremo del sax soprano, Steve Lacy era anche un grande e singolare compositore ed era solito proporre i propri brani, assieme a quelli di Monk, nelle sue esibizioni in solitudine. Giancarlo “nino" Locatelli, più o meno contemporaneamente alla registrazione di composizioni lacyane con ...
Michele Grossi Blend 3: Lubok
by Neri Pollastri
Formazione molto interessante, capitanata dal contrabbassista Andrea Grossi ma di fatto paritetica, Blend 3 è un trio completato dal sax contralto di Manuel Caliumi e dalla chitarra di Michele Bonifati, che dà vita a una musica in equilibrio tra scrittura e improvvisazione a partire da spunti compositivi estremamente sofisticati. Il lavoro si avvia con ...
