It’s no state secret that Sonny Rollins has never been fond of the recording studio. Never mind that he’s recorded his full share of gems there—not only early, celebrated albums such as Saxophone Colossus and Way Out West, but also digital-era efforts such as Old Flames and This Is What I Do. The man often embraced as the greatest living improviser requires too much creative freedom to start playing, as he puts it, “when the red light comes on.” And his perfectionism makes it difficult, sometimes painfully so, to go through multiple takes in search of what he thinks is the least flawed one.

by Libero Farnè
Joe Lovano è di casa in Italia. Non so quanto in questo possa influire l'origine siciliana della sua famiglia; penso che la ragione sia da ricercare piuttosto, oltre che nell'estroversa giovialità del carattere, nella sua vocazione di globetrotter che lo ha portato in ogni angolo del mondo con le più svariate formazioni, sue o di altri ...
