Arbor: Arbor

Read "Arbor" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


Each year, summer heatwaves wreak havoc across the Mediterranean, causing widespread devastation. These intense heatwaves have sparked wildfires throughout the Balkans and southern Europe, destroying homes, consuming forests, forcing mass evacuations, and tragically claiming lives. The escalating destruction, fueled by climate change, has left a trail of chaos and loss. It is against this backdrop of devastation that the Greek jazz band Arbor found inspiration for their debut album, channeling the region's pain and resilience into their music.

Federico Calcagno: Liquid Identities

Read "Liquid Identities" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Federico Calcagno, venticinquenne clarinettista milanese di stanza ad Amsterdam, dove questo notevole album è stato inciso nel maggio 2019, dopo e ancor più che nel precedente From Another Planet, ispirato a Eric Dolphy, si impone come una delle più interessanti, stimolanti individualità emerse nel panorama del jazz nostrano (pur considerata la sua attuale “pelle" olandese) da un po' di tempo in qua. In questo suo nuovo lavoro è alla testa di un quintetto per il resto iberico-ellenico che ne illustra ...
