Dario Miranda: La Dormiente

Read "La Dormiente" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Jazz is not just music; it is a conversation and Dario Miranda is one smooth-talking storyteller. His latest album, La Dormiente, is not merely a collection of tracks; it is an auditory odyssey that pirouettes between the traditional and the avant-garde with the grace of a classically trained dancer wearing electric sneakers. From the moment “Dolce Rumore" whispers its first notes, Miranda's double bass becomes less of an instrument and more of a narrative voice. Joined by Giovanni ...

Read "Genesi" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Genesi è il primo album di Giovanni Francesca, chitarrista e compositore con esperienze anche in ambito pop e teatrale, registrato tra il 2009 e il 2010 e uscito per Auand Records, nel quale si incanalano diversi discorsi espressivi - che ne costituiscono il motivo di maggiore interesse - e dove troviamo una nutrita serie di ospiti. Tra questi, Luca Aquino, che raddoppia le melodie in “Genesi," brano che meglio di altri proietta quel vago sapore di malinconia che pervade l'intero ...
