Read "Get Happy" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


"La mia filosofia - ha detto Corpolongo in un'intervista ad AAJ Italia - è che se suoni o scrivi musica di valore, prima o poi la cosa sarà notata, a dispetto di quelli che la svalorizzano o del tempo che sarà necessario per apprezzarla".

Rich Corpolongo Trio: Get Happy

Read "Get Happy" reviewed by Nic Jones
