Sam Braysher: That's Him: The Music Of Kurt Weill

Read "That's Him: The Music Of Kurt Weill" reviewed by Chris May

Read "In Between" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se Living in a Movie era stato per Eugenio Macchia una sorta di riassunto delle esperienze acquisite durante i primi anni di attività, In Between rappresenta il primo vero passo come leader. Il giovane pianista pugliese propone dieci brani in cui esprime la sua duplice anima e la propria visione jazzistica: da una parte le tensioni e il particolare mood che riesce a raggiungere suonando lo strumento elettrico ("All the Things You Are"); dall'altra lo swing e la forte coesione ...
