Sokratis Sinopoulos: Eight Winds

Read "Eight Winds" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Ecco un lavoro davvero molto particolare, che prende ispirazione dalla musica tradizionale per realizzare impasti di impianto jazzistico, traendoli per giunta da una regione--la Grecia--la cui tradizione, splendida, è stata piuttosto sottovalutata in questo contesto. Ne è autore Sokratis Sinopoulos, poco più che quarantenne specialista della lyra, strumento tradizionale dell'area egea, che ha coltivato ...

Charles Lloyd - Maria Farantouri: Athens Concert

Read "Athens Concert" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Sono bastati pochi ascolti per individuare il lato della sfaccettata forma jazzistica di Charles Lloyd che combacia con quello di Maria Farantouri, cantante solenne e con alcuni tratti lirici. E' l'ineffabile materia di cui è fatta la poesia a dare un denominatore comune a questi due artisti, una materia fortemente sedimentata in una lunga frequentazione (i ...

Eleni Karaindrou: Elegy of the Uprooting

Read "Elegy of the Uprooting" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se Eleni Karaindrou fosse una cantautrice rock, questo album avrebbe potuto intitolarsi “Greatest Hits Live", ma trattandosi di un'affermata compositrice classica greca probabilmente non sarebbe stato dignitoso. Ma effettivamente non si tratta di nient'altro che di una riproposizione dal vivo di una selezione dei suoi lavori per il cinema cuciti insieme a formare una lunga suite ...
