Le Grand Kalle: His Life, His Music

Read "His Life, His Music" reviewed by Chris May

Con questo disco Marziali, che ha studiato - tra gli altri - con Rosario Giuliani, ha deciso, fortunatamente, di fare tutto da solo e documentare la sua evoluzione di musicista. Sia il valzer della title-track che apre il disco, che il brano modale che lo segue, stanno a testimoniare sin dall'inizio gli ampi orizzonti espressivi di questo quartetto, e la loro ...
