SCANNER + DAVID ROTHENBERG - You Can’t Get There From Here

2011 (Monotype)
electronic, jazz
by Roberto Mandolini
7.5

Electronic e clarinetto: un connubio che richiama alla mente i lavori di vent'anni fa di John Surman per l'ECM. Scanner e David Rothenberg ne rinnovano la formula in undici brani che pur conservando alcuni temi del jazz si spingono dentro territori di sperimentazione elettronica. Robin Rimbaud, il vero nome di Scanner, non è nuovo a collaborazioni in ambito jazz ma sembra più ispirato che mai dall'incontro con Rothenberg e costruisce basi allo stesso tempo esplosive e vellutate per i liquidi assolo del clarinetto. "Tingit Death Song" ha un'aura da futuristico jazz cosmico. "Ready Ready" una base degna dei migliori Autechre.

Le undici tracce del disco sono state registrate a Londra tra il 2007 e il 2010 e pubblicate in un elegante cartoncino dalla polacca Monotype.
