poLO: Back Home

Read "Back Home" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Sensazioni alquanto contrastanti suggerisce l'ascolto di questo secondo album del quartetto poLO (Porta/Lombardini), abilmente costruito, equilibrato, coeso, con un sound d'insieme efficace, definito, solido, gradevole all'ascolto, ma nel contempo scontato, ripetitivo, privo di tratti originali e di qualsivoglia afflato di ricerca. Tutto ciò appare chiaro già dopo un paio di brani (l'intero corpus tematico è opera del quartetto, Salgarello escluso), attraversati da un post bop elettrico (ma senza eccessi) assai tipico del filone, con un procedere pieno, ...

Australian group Topology is "exhilaratingly unpredictable" in blend of contemporary classical music and jazz

Source: Lauren Rogers

The Australian band Topology ventures into the twilight zone between contemporary classical music and jazz. On their latest album Difference Engine, Topology experiment with moods, sounds, and rhythms; nothing ever quite stays the same or functions within patterns. At the same time, there is a surface beauty to their compositions that is easily accessible even when their songs are being twisted into knots. Despite the classical tag, Topology are nearly unclassifiable; they may use classical instrumentation, and their jazz inspirations ...

Torrentfreak Apologizes to Music Expert Avalon, but Disses Indie Artists

Torrentfreak Apologizes to Music Expert Avalon, but Disses Indie Artists

TorrentFreak issued an apology— sort of. The P2P site keeps picking a fight with a leading music expert. But why? Their readers don't respect words like “expert" anymore than they do words like, “intellectual property." Meanwhile TorrentFreak and their readers seem to think that Indie labels and their artists are insignificant when it comes to who gets ripped off via illegal P2P. An old saying goes “Keep your words soft and tender because tomorrow you may have to eat them.“ ...

Apologies Will Get You Nowhere: Steve Stoute and Neil Portnow's Joint Grammy Statement

Source: We All Make Music

People have been making fun of the Grammys for years. It's been called out of touch, irrelevant, worthless and stupid by both pros and joes, and this has been going on for so long that the very debate about the Grammys' relevance is itself irrelevant. So why has the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) suddenly started trying to tackle the criticism? Yesterday, Grammy president Neil Portnow and music executive Steve Stoute issued a joint statement proclaiming that ...

By Steve Provizer ..."why is the Tristano school always shown as a branch of cool jazz? Those guys were hardcore bebop heads. Is it just that they were white and some of them wore glasses so people confuse them with Brubeck?" —Ian Carey Mr. Carey, The Institute is here for you.
