David Haney: Stix and Stones (Piano and Drum Duets)
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il sessantenne pianista californiano David Haney raccoglie in questo album fresco di stampa una serie di duetti unicamente con batteristi, per l'esattezza cinque, riunendo incisioni realizzate fra il 2003 e il 2014 in Belgio, Canada e ovviamente Stati Uniti. Di quasi tutto il materiale, il pianista è anche autore o coautore (di regola col batterista di turno, quindi in più che probabili duetti del tutto improvvisati), con due brani ("Pretty Prancing Woman" e House Party Starting"), invece, provenienti dal songbook ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Il rimando a due iconoclasti DOC quali Eric Dolphy e Sun Ra già ci avvicina al cuore di questo album (in realtà c'è anche Nino--ribattezzato Nina--Rota), la cui natura parrebbe squisitamente orchestrale (e non di rado le sonorità, e lo stesso impianto, procedono in tal senso), mentre gli undici pezzi che vi sono raccolti (registrati nell'arco di un quinquennio, dal 2008 al 2013) coinvolgono sì una trentina di elementi, però scissi in organici che svariano per lo più dal sestetto ...

read moreDavid Haney Trio: Blue Flint Girl
by Lyn Horton
Pianist David Haney pulls together a trio with two bassists--Michael Bisio and Adam Lane--on Blue Flint Girl. Not only does this unusual instrumentation peak curiosity, but it also leads to an uncommon sound. The beauty of recording for CIMP is that the music grows like a flower. The seeds are planted before the music starts and then it just goes. The water pours from the imaginations of the musicians. In the liner notes, Haney describes Blue Flint Girl as the ...
read moreDavid Haney / Andrew Cyrille: Clandestine and Conspiracy A Go Go
by John Sharpe
Perhaps because the piano can be a percussive instrument, piano/drum duets don't have a huge list of practitioners, with the honorable exception of Cecil Taylor. There's a Taylor link on these two recordings by Washington-based pianist David Haney and master drummer Andrew Cyrille, who had a 10-year tenure with Taylor from 1965. Haney is a percussive player, but he's not a Taylor clone. He shows more affinity with the obliqueness of early 1980s Andrew Hill, or more latterly Matthew Shipp, ...

read moreDavid Haney Trio: The Music
by Derek Taylor
David Haney has a talent for concocting recondite tune titles. The five-part Pteradactyl Lunchbox cycle on the pianist's debut CIMP session is only one reflection of a remarkable intellect that revels in both humor and hand-spun absurdism. The disc's title is another, distilling its contents down to a most basic signifier and eschewing any sort of promotional embellishment. Musically, Haney and his A-list colleagues, Julian Priester and Adam Lane, are less difficult to draw a bead on. The program, which ...

David Haney Trio - Blue Flint Girl (Cimp)
Source:
Master of a Small House
Canadian pianist David Haney isn't reticent about diving into the deep end when it comes to challenging settings for his instrument. He's regularly explored novel combinations, notably a duo with trombonist Julian Priester, along with the conventional context of bass and drums accompaniment. Even in familiar piano trio surroundings, his approach avoids the easy or ordinary. Additional mitigating factors for this particular date included regional record highs in heat and humidity and a recording space that offered only minimal ventilation. ...
