Adriano Pedini: Organizzatore di Fano Jazz by the Sea
by Libero Farnè
Ha raggiunto un quarto di secolo Fano Jazz by the Sea, uno dei festival jazz più importanti sulla costa adriatica italiana.

John Scofield's Country for Old Men The Ardmore Music Hall Ardmore, PA September 24, 2016 There are probably only are a handful of guitarists with a catalog as deep and stylistically diverse as John Scofield's. One of the obvious perils that these artists encounter when touring is facing an audience with fans from different stages of their careers--with different expectations. Short of doing an exhaustive retrospective every time out, this can almost guarantee a certain ...
