This combination will not only improve your AAJ experience, it will allow us to continue to rigorously build on the great work we first started in 1995. Read on to view our project ideas...

Il meglio del 2018 secondo Angelo Leonardi

Ogni linguaggio che partecipa alla multiforme scena del jazz contemporaneo ha espresso dischi eccellenti, equiparabili per valore artistico . Dal mio punto di vista, accanto alle opere di veterani sempre creativi come Henry Threadgill, Kenny Barron, Bill Frisell e Franco D'Andrea, ho ammirato i lavori di quaranta/cinquantenni come Jamie Saft, JD Allen, Michael Leonhart, Edward Simon e del nostro Riccardo Brazzale, il leader della Lydian Sound Orchestra.
Senza dimenticare le trentottenni Mary Halvorson e Anat Cohen a dimostrazione che "l'altra metà del cielo" ha saldamente occupato i vertici della nostra musica. Il più giovane è Aaron Parks, anche se da tempo ha oltrepassato la categoria del talento emergente.
