AMM
by AAJ Italy Staff
Area Sismica - Forlì - 17.1.2009 Gli AMM sono un pezzo di storia della musica: fra i padri dell'improvvisazione radicale ed elettro-acustica, il loro nome ha quasi il sapore della leggenda, evoca l'eco di un'epoca eroica (gli anni '60) in cui ribollivano fermenti d'innovazione e scoppiavano rivoluzioni di ogni genere. Un loro concerto quindi non può ...
