Something Else! Festival 2019
by Mike Chamberlain
Something Else! St. John the Evangelist Church Hamilton, Ontario June 20-23, 2019 I must confess that I spend very little time in churches, so I would not normally be inclined to spend the first weekend of summer in one. But sometimes exceptions must be made, and such an exception ...
Liudas Mockūnas: Hydro 2
by Mark Corroto
Hydro 2 is water music, but it's not to be confused with the orchestral pieces composed by George Frideric Handel back in the early 18th century. Lithuanian saxophonist Liudas Mockūnas is headed even further back in time, back to some Darwinian vision of evolution from the murky primordial seas, forward to our bipedal momentum. Note: If ...
Paula Shocron: Paths to a New Sound
by Jakob Baekgaard
When Werner X. Uehlinger, the founder of Hat Hut Records, was asked about a statement on why he liked Argentinian pianist Paula Shocron's music, the answer was clear, short and succinct: “The quality of surprise." Uehlinger discovered Shocron's music through her work with the SLD Trio and he liked their debut Anfitrión so much that the ...

by John Sharpe
Recorded at the 2014 Vilnius Jazz Festival by a band comprising two Lithuanians and a Norwegian, which was one of the standouts of the 2017 Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival, Plunged proves an unexpected delight.

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Giuseppe Segala
by Giuseppe Segala
Selezionare i migliori dischi e concerti dell'anno è un bel gioco. Un gioco molto serio, che inizia in modo spensierato, mentre si inseriscono i primi titoli, ma diventa sempre più difficile quando ci si accorge che si è già verso la fine e si affollano ancora tanti lavori meritevoli. Iniziano dunque le considerazioni, si tracciano e ...
William Hooker: Light - The Early Years 1975-1989

L'etichetta lituana NoBusiness Records, orientata verso il free storico e la musica più recente che ne è derivata, si distingue anche per le raffinate riedizioni in tiratura limitata.

Sadly, you would have to be either independently wealthy or Mats Gustafsson to acquire the rarest of the rare music. But take heart, there are small labels producing the free ...
William Hooker, Thomas Chapin: Crossing Points
by Enrico Bettinello
L'aggiornato e appassionato blog Free Jazz dedica a questo disco una recensione di pochissime righe, quasi una lista di tags che forse meglio di ogni ragionamento riesce a dare le coordinate della musica del duo tra il batterista William Hooker e il sassofonista Thomas Chapin. Certo, a elencare qualità [a volte anche apparentemente ...
