Ai Confini tra Sardegna e Jazz Sant'Anna Arresi 30.08.2019 -08.09.2019 “Dobbiamo prendere atto che il percorso del festival si è concluso... Forse siamo caduti nella trappola auto-costruita della piccola comunità... Il festival era un pretesto per parlare nuovi linguaggi ... Le questioni artistiche vanno bene ma oggi il festival esprime poco ... Forse anche il jazz non è più in grado di rappresentare l'esistente ...

August 5, 2019

On Rob Mazurek's Psychotropic Electric Eel Dreams IV, the multi-instrumentalist, composer and visual artist has woven together esoteric and tangible elements on two extended tracks, with their origins in mysteries of the deep.

Rob Mazurek: Rome

by Vincenzo Roggero
January 14, 2018

Rome è la commovente, emozionante sublimazione di Rob Mazurek musicista e di Rob Mazurek artista visuale. Non solo per i riferimenti pittorici (Twombly e Caravaggio) o cinematografici (Fellini) ma perché tutto il disco è un susseguirsi di pennellate, di macchie, di visioni, di prospettive che vanno a definire un affresco potente e di rara suggestione. Registrato negli studi Rai durante il programma Radio Tre Suite curato da Pino Saulo -a cui è dedicato un brano -, Rome vede Rob Mazurek ...
