Anthony Braxton Quartet | Standards (Brussels) 2006 | Amirani Records

Anthony Braxton’s periodical incursions in standards repertory are always a new way to think classical structures. His style is immediately clear: pixeling notes, sudden fastness, stretched sentences. A live recording with all the freshness one needs to be in deep touch with creativity and joyous interplay. Italian partners provide a vivid sustain, an evocative tone palette, a great rhythmic support and sincere brilliant solos.

An elegant cardboard 6 CD box (Decca style) including a 26 pages booklet with three little essays by Italian poet and writer Erika Dagnino Continue reading →

Cristiano Calcagnile and Monica Demuru | Blastula | Scarnoduo | Amirani Records

Accurate graphics and all texts booklet offer the opportunity of an ever new interpretation of “Scarnoduo”, like a great story that really deserves to be told again and again. The word to describe this cd is Beautiful. A performance where text and sounds find a natural way to drive the listener in a re-combinatory possibility. Drummer Cristiano Calcagnile offers here one of his best declination working tight to the theatrical, full spectrum narrative voice of Monica Demuru in a cd that can be considered a post modern troubadour-tale experience. Don’t miss this one!” — Gianni Mimmo Continue reading →

A handful of children on the way to all aspects of their sound. So you can call a company to confront young people with new and improvised music, so that they can do in this rather unusual profession her musical experience. Other hand, the most original field from which they just develop and will hopefully grow even more. The unbiased natural play with the possibilities that the moment offers. Similar to the “Godfather” of this recording Giacinto Scelsi, the young people draw from the reservoir which feeds them from the improvisation making it reflective tho their vocabulary to apply and further develop awareness.

Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre provides us with a rare glimpse into his live performance. Perhaps one of the most influential and under-recorded artists of the AACM, Kalaparush is joined by Ravish Momin on percussion and Jesse Dulman on tuba. Jesse’s tuba recalls the pre-bass second line of jazz music and Ravish provides worldly polyrhythmic sequences. All of the playing comes together with the elegance of Kalaparush’s compositions and improvisations. Recorded at one night’s performance in Detroit. Entropy Stereo is pleased to provide a unique live document of a master saxophonist and composer. Continue reading →
