Sting Piazza Sordello Mantova 28.07.2017 Se non lo vogliamo definire un ritorno alle radici, davvero poco ci manca. Sting e la sua band--in una Piazza Sordello di Mantova che si farà ricordare (anche) per lo splendido colpo d'occhio -ha regalato un concerto senza passi falsi e all'insegna dello spirito più originale che spinse il giovane Sumner a imbracciare il basso elettrico. L'assetto scelto per questa nuova uscita italiana, infatti, è squisitamente rock: Dominic Miller e ...

Throughout his long and illustrious career, Sting has enjoyed an enviable set of circumstances. Not only does he have total artistic freedom but he has been accompanied by elite musicians and has a devoted, global fan base.

Sting: The Last Ship

by Nenad Georgievski
October 20, 2013

Much like his fellow collegue, musician Peter Gabriel, British singer and songwriter Sting has spent the past decade, since his last album with original material Sacred Love (A&M, 2003) in endless touring, reissues, cover albums and recording past material with a philharmonic orchestra. Far from being inactive or lazy, during that time he also reunited his band Police twice--once for the induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 and for a lucrative world tour in 2007/08. ...

Sting: If on a Winter’s Night

February 20, 2010

Usually, winter is seen as a time of darkness, cold, and depression; a time of solitude and sometimes dislocated isolation. It is a time of stillness when all nature sleeps and everything is subdued. But it is also a time of renewal, a cleansing and a periodic cycle before everything awakens. The winter is also time of repose and celebration centering around Christmas and the holiday season.

Stai per cominciare ad ascoltare il nuovo CD di Sting, If on a Winter's Night.... Rilassati. Raccogliti. Allontana da te ogni altro pensiero. Lascia che il mondo che ti circonda sfumi nell'indistinto. Meglio ancora se fuori nevica. Meglio ancora se l'inverno bussa alla tua porta. Prendi la posizione più comoda: seduto, sdraiato, raggomitolato, coricato. Non che t'aspetti qualcosa di particolare da questo CD. Sei uno che per principio non s'aspetta più niente da niente. Sai che il meglio che ci ...

With pop/rock group The Police, Sting (aka Gordon Sumner) created some of the greatest pop songs ever. These songs were a mix of pop, rock and ska meshed with articulate lyrics that would render the band's catalogue legendary.

David Sanborn: Inside

by Ian Nicolson
May 1, 1999

Since the days when he left his hometown St Louis to play for the Butterfield Blues Band during the sixties Blues boom in California, Sanborn has worked hard at staying top dog among the LA studio sessioneers - and succeeded.He has also commuted effortlessly between sophisticated Jazzpop solo albums stressing his distinctive alto tone and R'n'B roots, and the occasional full-ahead Jazz outing - like 1990's Another Hand, or Upfront a year or two later. This time he's ...
