Il Meglio del 2018 Secondo Nicola Negri

Per chi non se ne fosse accorto, stiamo vivendo un momento musicale straordinario, fatto di ricerca senza confini, ibridazioni linguistiche e condivisione di esperienze spesso agli antipodi—insomma diametralmente opposto al periodo storico, in cui l'ignoranza miope delle nuove destre vorrebbe tenerci divisi, ancorati ad un'idea identitaria ormai superata dalla storia.
Dal jazz più classico alle contaminazioni rock e noise, dall'improvvisazione libera alla ricerca pura della composizione contemporanea, anche questo 2018 ha visto una produzione discografica di livello altissimo, con vecchi e nuovi maestri impegnati a ridefinire i confini delle musiche creative.
Buon ascolto.
