Diana Torti: Fearless

Read "Fearless" reviewed by Troy Dostert


Coming off of their 2023 collaboration, It's All We Have (Tambora Music), vocalist Diana Torti and guitarist Sabino de Bari are once again teaming up for Fearless, another showcase for Torti's ear-pleasing yet subtly adventurous approach to modern jazz. But the two are now complemented by bassist Andrea Colella and drummer Francesco De Rubeis, the rhythm tandem that last worked with de Bari on his excellent 2024 release, Ashanti (Self Produced).

Giuliana Soscia & Pino Jodice Italian Tango Quartet: Latitango

Read "Latitango" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Progetto sofisticatamente tradizionale, a partire dal tango (oltre metà dei brani sono a firma di Piazzolla) ma con la mediazione del jazz, questo lavoro della fisarmonicista Giuliana Soscia (anni di esperienza nelle orchestre della Rai, musicologa, esecutrice classica) e di Pino Jodice (navigato jazzista e membro dell'Orchestra del Parco della Musica di Roma) non manca di appeal, grazie alla bellezza dei suoni, all'accuratezza della realizzazione, al fascino delle musiche. Del grande compositore argentino, infatti, vengono selezionate alcuni dei brani più ...
