With Bill Evans, he developed a way of playing that mirrored the pianist's phrasing and approach, often abandoning aspects of the drummer's traditional time-keeping role

Keisuke Kishi: Midpoint Cafe
by Dan McClenaghan
Did drummer Keisuke Kishi, on a continent-spanning road trip, “get his kicks on route 66?" Possibly, though he--as anyone making the journey for the first time would--certainly had his eyes opened to wide-open spaces, stark, flat landscapes and pale blue skies.

Anat Fort Trio: The Berlin Sessions

Joe Lovano: da New York a Bergamo
by Libero Farnè
Joe Lovano è di casa in Italia. Non so quanto in questo possa influire l'origine siciliana della sua famiglia; penso che la ragione sia da ricercare piuttosto, oltre che nell'estroversa giovialità del carattere, nella sua vocazione di globetrotter che lo ha portato in ogni angolo del mondo con le più svariate formazioni, sue o di altri ...
