New on Aum Fidelity

January 11, 2010 — Mike

From Aum Fidelity:

ERI YAMAMOTO TRIO – In Each Day, Something Good

The last two years marked pianist/composer/bandleader Eri Yamamoto’s rise into the consciousness of astute jazz listeners outside of NYC. Her essential appearance on William Parker’s eternal Corn Meal Dance was followed by a pair of her own luminous and critically acclaimed albums, Duologue and Redwoods.

Yamamoto has an amazing gift for fresh and melodically indelible compositions. This new studio album of her all-new, all-original pieces are, as part of her recent 3-album string, nigh unmatched by her pianistic (or otherwise) peers in music. Once again these new compositions are all brought to life with ebullience and deep sensitivity by her long-running Trio partners, bassist David Ambrosio and drummer Ikuo Takeuchi.

Upcoming Detroit Shows

January 11, 2010 — Mike
Paal Nilssen-Love
Image via Wikipedia

From the Bohemian in Exile:

Monday, Jan.25th: Frode Gjerstad/Paal Nilssen Love at 2739 Edwin

For more than 30 years, saxophonist/clarinetist Frode Gjerstadt has been a primary figure in the Norwegian improvised music scene. In the early years, he forced to play with musicians from other countries because he had no peers at home. As his international reputation grew, he helped to cultivate players back home. His ferocious sound has accompanied John Stevens, Peter Brotzmann, Evan Parker, Han Bennink, William Parker and Hamid Drake.

One fellow Norwegian who paid early dues with Gjerstad is drummer Paal Nilssen Love. Love is a frequent visitor to Detroit and his outstanding approach has been heard here in a variety of settings. Though he is firmly rooted in Europe’s free improvising scene, playing with The Thing and Sten Sandell, he also seems to have a second home in Chicago, where he can be found playing with Ken Vandermark and the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet.

Doors at 8 pm; $10 recommended.

2/4 [project] transmit (german rock project with Nate McBride)
3/25 Han Bennink/Frode Gjerstad
4/1 Arborea

Coming in May: Tsigoti (prog/punk protest band featuring Thollem McDonas)
