Pidgins – Refrains Of The Day, Volume 2 | The Quietus

1 week ago | thequietus.com | Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

“What are some of the possible musics on this planet at this time?” Jon Hassell asked in 1980, trying to imagine a decidedly Western bridge between the global North and South. The essay that the US trumpeter and composer penned to accompany his collaboration with Brian Eno, Fourth World, Vol.1: Possible Musics, would later be as influential as the album itself. Yet, the music of the future that they had tried to imagine never quite arrived.
Peter Brötzmann / John Edwards / Steve Noble / Jason Adasiewicz – The Quartet | The Quietus

2 months ago | thequietus.com | Stewart Smith |Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

OTOROKU The Quartet with double bassist John Edwards, drummer Steve Noble, and vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz was recorded at London’s Cafe Oto in February 2023, just a few months before Peter Brötzmann’s passing. The stark finality of this sentence is hard to swallow. The German free jazz saxophonist and clarinettist was one of those larger than life characters – and, yes, true legends – that felt as if they would go on forever, privy to some arcane ways of cheating death. While he ultimately...
James Brandon Lewis – Apple Cores | The Quietus

2 months ago | thequietus.com | Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

New York based tenor saxophonist and composer James Brandon Lewis is as open-minded a jazz musician as they come. In the past two years alone, he has reimagined singer and activist Mahalia Jackson’s gospel tunes in a contemporary jazz key with his Red Lily quintet (For Mahalia, With Love), explored the aggressive edges of free jazz (Eye Of I), and dived into the deep end of muscular fusion in collaboration with experimental punk trio The Messthetics.
Being Strangers - Concrete Dreams Of Sound | The Quietus

2 months ago | thequietus.com | Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

The latest work by Irish composer/sound artist Gerard Gormley under the moniker of Being Strangers is an acoustic exploration of architectures and the physical boundaries that frame them.
Han-Earl Park, Lara Jones and Pat Thomas – Juno 3: Proxemics | The Quietus

Jan 21, 2025 | thequietus.com | Jennifer Lucy Allan |Peter Margasak |Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

In cultural anthropology, proxemics is the research of peoples’ relationship with and use of space, be it as part of nonverbal communication or other forms of interaction. The improv power trio of guitarist Han-Earl Park, saxophonist Lara Jones, and pianist Pat Thomas have thus chosen a most pertinent title for their second recorded outing.
Ayumi Ishito (feat. Kevin Shea and George Draguns) – Roboquarians, Vol. 2 | The Quietus

Jan 6, 2025 | thequietus.com | Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

Japanese-born, New York-based saxophonist Ayumi Ishito recorded her debut album View From A Little Cave in 2016. Almost a decade later, her artistic voice and skronking jazz rock style have remained refreshingly potent, lending credence to the epithet of ‘up-and-coming sax talent’ bestowed upon her by 577 Records. While Ishito has slowly become a mainstay of the label’s catalogue, frequently featuring both as a leader and sidewoman, the past year was especially fruitful. Roboquarians, Vol.
Marek Pospieszalski Octet & Zoh Amba – NOW! | The Quietus

Dec 5, 2024 | thequietus.com | Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

A stalwart of Polish contemporary jazz, the name of reedist and composer Marek Pospieszalski has popped up on many of the scene’s most stimulating records in the past decade. He’s played with groups Power Of The Horns, Mazolewski González Quintet, and Marco Eneidi Streamin’ 4, among many others.
Tullis Rennie – Safe Operating Space | The Quietus

Oct 24, 2024 | thequietus.com | Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

The history of electronic music is mottled with jazz influences, from the samples, rhythms and moods that subtly flavoured Moodymann and Terrence Dixon productions to the lush, seductive sway of Four Tet-esque electronica from the 2000s and 2010s.
Jill Fraser – Earthly Pleasures | The Quietus

Sep 25, 2024 | thequietus.com | Bobby Barry |Antonio Poscic

Drag City In all likelihood, Jill Fraser is a name that won’t ring many bells. It is also equally likely that, without realising, you have probably heard her work many times. Active since the 1970s, the US composer, electronic musician, and former Morton Subotnick protégé has left her mark across all sorts of productions. She created the sound design and electronic effects for John Boorman’s infamous 1974 sci-fi flick Zardoz. Alongside Jack Nitzsche, she worked on the music for Paul...
Back to the Future: Atlas of Green by Dialect

Sep 19, 2024 | thequietus.com | Antonio Poscic |Bobby Barry

Andrew PM Hunt imagines a future archaeologist to shape a music of tomorrow from fragments of the past. Although Atlas Of Green maintains a stylistic connection to previous works under the Liverpudlian musician’s Dialect moniker, it’s also a distinctly new limb of his storytelling. Born out of our civilization’s current predicaments, it branches off into ancient history and speculative futures – a rejigging of sounds and music around us into an approaching myth.
