Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant avec folie à quatre: Séances

Read "Séances" reviewed by Vic Albani


Nel peculiare universo del “jazz obliquo" contemporaneo il bassista Trevor Dunn, ben conosciuto a chi approda spesso sulle spiagge del signor John Zorn, esiste da sempre un ben conosciuto e mai ben definito mondo di ricerca complessa e collegata ai mille meandri della mente umana. Racconta dunque Dunn che nella Francia del XVIII secolo esisteva una setta di cristiani, considerata eretica dai compagni servi di Dio, chiamata i Convulsionari di Saint-Médard.

Carla Kihlstedt: 2 Foot Yard

Read "2 Foot Yard" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Carla Kihlstedt, the violinist for the Tin Hat Trio, steps out to create her first solo project on Two Foot Yard. Ms. Kihlstedt seems equally comfortable in classical, jazz, pop, and the avant-classical/jazz/pop arenas. The ultimate compliment paid is to call her the female equivalent of Tom Waits.

Like Waits she is a master in the vignette, painting 20 short scenes or sketches for listeners. As with her work in Tin Hat Trio, the music choice is eclectic, ...
