Alan Wakeman: The Octet Broadcasts 1969 and 1979

Read "The Octet Broadcasts 1969 and 1979" reviewed by Chris May


Despite a perception fostered by the more breathless media coverage given to the young lions who have emerged on the London scene since the mid 2010s, an identifiably British strand of jazz did not kick off when Shabaka Hutchings' Sons Of Kemet released its debut album in 2013. The groundwork was laid back in the 1950s by musicians such as saxophonist Joe Harriott and pianist Stan Tracey. In the 1970s, two bandleaders who carried the torch for ...

A scorrere il parterre degli improvvisatori riuniti quel 30 maggio 1992 a Bologna per Angelica, la gloriosa rassegna che viveva allora il suo secondo anno di attività, non ci s'immaginerebbe di imbattersi poi in un prodotto così sostanzialmente amorfo, privo di reali sbocchi creativi, in soldoni di un'adeguata capacità di tener desta l'attenzione di chi ascolta.

Amalgam: Innovation

Read "Innovation" reviewed by Rex  Butters


In the early '60s Trevor Watts and John Stevens initiated the long-lived free jazz association that became known as Amalgam. Their extended tenure altered Euro jazz and improvised music forever, following their first recording in '69. Tangent records released their third album, Innovation , in 1974, after their Play Blackwell and Higgins set and several sessions recorded with trumpeter Bobby Bradford. Weirdly saddled with a “jazz rock" reputation with the addition of guitarist Keith Rowe after these sessions, the Innovation ...
