![| Discos | Joe McPhee & Chris Corsano: Under A Double Moon [Roaratorio, 2011]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3813895_lg.jpg)
Porventura este tem sido um ano sadio para o jazz de 'vistas largas': da possante estreia de Matana Roberts ao notável regresso de Rob Mazurek, ou ainda esta colaboração entre dois vultos maiores do jazz contemporâneo (e certamente, uns quantos discos mais que memória e/ou tempo dedicado à descoberta e audição não permitam de momento destacar). Afirmando-se como um autêntico encontro bi-geracional, Under A Double Moon é o resultado de uma gravação ao vivo no mítico Les Instants Chavirés em Paris. Um momento de perícia, inteligência e emoção captado para a posterioridade e revelador de um diálogo veementemente [...]
![[Review/Listen] – Glenn Jones – "The Wanting"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3788328_lg.jpg)
Tweet There's guitar music, and then there's guitar music. Glenn Jones's new album, "The Wanting" , falls into the latter category. The album is Jones's fourth solo, though he collaborates with Chris Corsano for the album's epic seventeen minute sign off, "The Orca Grande Cement Factory at Victorville" . Glenn Jones alternates between a six string guitar, a twelve string guitar, and a banjo. Jones's songs slide through both alternate tunings and string instruments without losing his distinct musical voice. [...]

Autumn is most definitely here. It's dark. It's cold. It's wet. These things do not inspire me to get on my bike and cycle across Cambridge to the Corner House, one of the cities less salubrious venues. However, having hijacked a car for the evening, I travel across the city to check out local promoters Crushing Death & Grief's programmed night of aural hi-jinx. Glass Cello have taken some obvious cues from the similarly electro-obsessed duo Orbital. There's shades and florally decorated spectacles, their hands, as they pick a path across keyboards and laptops, are [...]
I'm pretty sure that when David Keenan was having a bit of a go at what he described as "emasculated" improvised guitar music in The Wire this month, this wasn't the sort of thing he was talking about. Rangda, the trio featuring the combined talents of Sun City Girls' Sir Richard Bishop, Six Organs Of [...]
Wordsworth famously wrote in his introduction to 'Lyrical Ballads' : 'poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.' There was plenty of 'spontaneous overflow' flying around on Tuesday evening last at the Cafe Oto , the first leg of Joe McPhee/Chris Corsano's two night residency and the end result was: instant poetry. Joined by master bassman Jon Edwards and Paul Dunmall on tenor saxophone, a fascinating gig unfolded – one of the best of the year in a year so far full of them. Tranquility a [...]
Off to London in the morning for a couple of days - Cafe Oto tomorrow for another go round - this time, the mighty Joe McPhee in fast company: Chris Corsano, John Edwards and Paul Dunmall. It doesn't get a lot better than this... review no doubt to follow...
It may seem hard to believe, but there was a time when this blog didn't spend most of its time posting badly-written reviews of Richard Skelton albums. A few years ago, this blog specialised in badly-written reviews of Chris Corsano gigs. I probably saw a dozen of his shows in little over a year; [...]

Glad this claustrophobia is in lo-qual B&W, it's making me even psychder for this UK tour, no senseless noise, just rock re-imaginings, full of hot blood and spirit.
Jailbreak - Sugar Blues (Excerpt) We've been (kind of) starved of that distinct dirt road wailage from Texan/Glasgow pedal steeler Heather Leigh for a while now but this new collab sees her furthering rock music with drum mentalist and yes Bjork collaborator Chris Corsano (dig his latest Another Dull Dawn on Ultra Eczema ) and OH MY is it about as frenetic and full of outlaw-style violence, massive violent sensuality and infinite broken mirror shards. They'll be shredding weird American mythos all over the UK this November. Hello Newcastle: [...]
Will the festival season ever end? Part of me hopes so, but another part hungers for more. And The Wire sponsored Adventures in Modern Music Festival at Chicago's Empty Bottle this past week pushed that hunger to a limit. I'm now pretty sure that another festival would kill me. Now, that's certainly not to say that I didn't enjoy my four days at one of Chicago's best venues; it didn't help that I was sick, and couldn't make it out of the house for one of the five shows. But, the array of noise, improv, under-the-radar, generally weird [...]
oof. there was something of the david lynch about this performance from murray and corsano. at once erotic and frightening; sensual yet violent; unhinged yet deliriously controlled. it's rock music. oh it is. it's guitar, voice and drums; the molten core. but it's way out there. it's beyond. past the horizon into somewhereorother. where everything's on fire. it's everything [...]
Last month at the SOY festival, over a hundred concert hoppers packed into a tiny neighborhood bar to witness an ecstatic free-for-all by New England drum prodigy Chris Corsano and British drone guru Mick Flower. Perhaps we can leave up it to the good people of Nantes to turn out in droves for the kind of show that might ordinarily attract a small circle of improv and experimental music obsessives. Or we can leave it to Corsano and Flower themselves, who, with The Radiant Mirror , their first joint lp, just might have cooked up something verging on a [...]
Chris Corsano is best known as a drummer. In this vein that he can be found playing with artists from Jandek to Björk. However, as anyone lucky enough to be familiar with his recent album The Young Cricketer 1 can affirm, he's very much a multi-instrumentalist. Corsano seems to have an admirably liberal attitude as to what constitutes an instrument. If he can make some sort of controlled noise out of it, he's probably interested. Phoenix & Pheasant , from the compilation Less Self is More Self [...]
Het vergt moed en zelfvertrouwen om als drummer een soloconcert te geven. Zijn ritmes alleen voldoende? Moet er gezongen worden? Schakel je andere instrumenten in naast de drums, bekkens en andere percussie? Ik heb ooit Max Roach gezien op het Drum Rhythm festival, die het zeer simpel hield. Een langzaam bluesritme en daarover heen slepende spreekzang. Nog mooier was hoe hij met slechts de hi-hat en twee drumstokken een heel orkest tevoorschijn toverde. Pure muzkale magie. De jonge drummer Chris Corsano pakte het op 6 november in OT301 heel anders aan, maar daarom [...]
The first time I saw Chris Corsano play drums, I quickly realized I would never see another percussionist that was so amazing, maybe ever ! Zach Hill, Jim White, Jerry Fuchs, Chris Brokaw, Britt Walford...while their techniques may be flawless, their creativity (even White's) does not compare to Corsano's. The second time I saw Corsano, he was on stage with Paul Flaherty at the now-(sadly)-closed Tonic. Holy fuck was that incredible. If you want a very small glimpse at what kinds of weird shit he does, check out his profile in VICE . If you need to see [...]
