New England Jazz Collaborative: Tributaries

Read "Tributaries" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Tributaries segna l'esordio discografico del New England Jazz Collaborative, orchestra piuttosto poderosa (una ventina i musicisti coinvolti nell'album, inciso a Boston nel giugno 2025) con sede a Cambridge. Le atmosfere possiedono diverse tipicità proprie della letteratura di settore e relativo repertorio, peraltro lungo brani tutti originali, dovuti a Jeremy Cohen, deus ex machina del NEJC, Darryl Harper (due a testa), Matan Rubinstein e Sam Spear, che in effetti si rivelano in grado di esprimere un quid complessivo contrassegnato da alcuni ...

New Guitar Summit: Shivers

Read "Shivers" reviewed by Mike Perciaccante

by Mike Perciaccante

The second album from the triumvirate of virtuoso guitarists J.
