Jeremy Rose & Earshift Orchestra: Discordia
by Angelo Leonardi
Il bandleader australiano Jeremy Rose è un compositore attento alla realtà sociale contemporanea e intende esprimere in musica le sue critiche. Il precedente Disruption!

by Troy Dostert
Sydney-based saxophonist Sam Gill maintains a prodigious range of projects, ranging from the heady post-bop intricacies of his Coursed Waters quartet to Mind on Fire, an exploratory duo with his brother, vibraphonist Brad Gill.
