Cycle: Jin-Brebl-Concert
by Alberto Bazzurro
Parafrasando, titolo e copertina, un celeberrimo doppio album del '71 del quartetto Circle di Anthony Braxton, Chick Corea, Dave Holland e Barry Altschul, il quintetto protagonista di questo lavoro batte in realtà strade abbastanza autonome, incasellando in sei brani originali (di cui due impro collettive) Vignette di Gary Peacock e, icona evidentemente inevitabile, quel Nefertiti che apriva il monumentale album di mezzo secolo fa (in questo caso l'incisione risale al 30 settembre 2020).

By my count, there are five major jazz tenor-saxophone schools. A school is defined as a particular approach or way of improvising that's so distinct and exceptional other saxophonists adopt it. On my list of tenor saxophonists whose styles became schools are Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Warne Marsh, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. Nearly all other tenor players fall into one of these five schools. Marsh's approach is thought of as vertical—meaning he typically charted an improvisational course though a ...
