Andre Roligheten: Marbles

Read "Marbles" reviewed by Chris May


Tenor saxophonist André Roligheten is best known outside his native Norway, and wider Scandinavia, as a member of drummer Gard Nilssen's Acoustic Unity and as a composer/arranger in the berserker big band, Supersonic Orchestra. Nilssen returns the favour on Marbles, one of Roligheten's infrequent own-name releases. The album has grown out of a band Roligheten put together in spring 2021 for the Trondheim Jazz Festival, which had commissioned a new piece from him. The band was called ...

Johan Lindstrom & Norrbotten Big Band: Johan Lindstrom & Norrbotten Big Band

Read "Johan Lindstrom & Norrbotten Big Band" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Continua a sfornare grandi album Moserobie, etichetta creata da Jonas Kullhammar sassofonista e illuminato agitatore musicale svedese. Perché di un grande album questo Johan Lindstrom & Norrbotten Big Band si tratta. Non il classico schema solista-orchestra ma un organismo proteiforme, sorprendente, che si scompone, si assottiglia, si nasconde, esplode, si rilassa, creatura dadaista che solletica i sensi, e fa volare l'immaginazione. E così l'incedere marziale di “Parade," tra hard rock e liriche aperture, scalda i motori, “Blues ...

Johan Lindstrom: On the Asylum

Read "On the Asylum" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Un settetto stellare con alcuni dei maggiori protagonisti della scena musicale svedese che aveva debuttato nel 2018 con lo splendido Music for Empty Hall più l'apparizione di Elvis Costello nel brano di apertura. Due indizi sufficienti a suscitare più di una curiosità intorno a On the Asylum, seconda uscita discografica dell'ensemble di Johan Lindstrom, specialista della steel guitar, collaboratore di Nils Petter Molvaer, Patti Smith, Per Texas Johansson, Sly & Robbie, compositore, produttore, sound designer. E soprattutto creatore di mondi ...

Johan Lindström Septett: On The Asylum

Read "On The Asylum" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Multi-instrumentalist and composer Johan Lindström issued his 2018 septet debut Music For Empty Halls (Moserobie Music) to global accolades. The unique set was nominated for a Swedish Grammy, an award which Lindström had captured on four previous occasions. The debut was noted for its unhurried and democratic approach to creative ensemble music. On the Asylum, the second outing of the Johan Lindström Septett surpasses its predecessor as a stunning and eclectic project. Lindström is not yet well-known in ...

Johan Lindstrom: Music For Empty Halls

Read "Music For Empty Halls" reviewed by Luca Casarotti


Il modo migliore di parlare di questo Music for Empty Halls è descriverne passo passo l'articolata struttura compositiva, che più di tutto cattura l'attenzione (e l'ammirazione) dell'ascoltatore. Il disco si apre su un ostinato in 12/8 suonato dalla chitarra, a cui presto si aggiungono contrabbasso e sax baritono. La ritmica cresce di dinamica con l'ingresso dell'hammond e della batteria. Mentre l'ostinato prosegue, la chitarra si ritaglia uno spazio solista, per poi cedere il posto a una tessitura a note lunghe ...

Johan Lindström Septett: Music For Empty Halls

Read "Music For Empty Halls" reviewed by Mark Corroto


There is an old soul lurking in the body of guitarist Johan Lindström. I mean both the body corporal and his guitar body. His septet recording Music For Empty Halls draws the ear back to a time when music was less rushed and much more thoughtful. He's assembled a collection of compositions in a most considerate manner. He's done that by composing and arranging the music, and by choosing just the right combinations of performers and varied instrumentation for each ...
