Read "The Giuseppi Logan Quintet" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Fino a qualche tempo fa il nome di Giuseppi Logan era legato al più celebre caso da “Chi l'ha visto?" nella storia del jazz moderno. Titolare di un paio di dischi ESP pubblicati fra il '64 e il '65 (The Giuseppi Logan Quartet e More), il sassofonista di Philadelphia era stato poi inghiottito da un buco nero a inizio anni Settanta, dopo qualche altra comparsata su lavori altrui.
