Jazz & Poetry
The best of jazz is aural poetry. The best of poetry swings and grooves. So it's not surprising that jazz and poetry have had a long and fruitful synergy.
We decided to explore intriguing collaborations between jazz musicians and poets, from the icons of the Beat Generation to Amiri Baraka, from Federico Garcia ...

Gianni Gagliardi: Nomadic Nature
Sin dalle prime note di contrabbasso, che mantiene un pedale e introducono “Paris," l'appassionato di Ornette Coleman esulta. Scorrono altre tracce -"L'ironie d'une Jolie Prisse De Téte," dove alberga una definizione sonora di tipo iberico, moderna e spavaldamente veloce, “Macanudo Man," una specie di funk sospeso tra la possibilità di farsi fusion e l'impossibilità di appiatirsi ...

I've been inspired by dozens of new jazz recordings this year, but I've ...
read moreAlexis Cuadrado: A Bassist in New York
Bassist, bandleader, and innovative composer Alexis Cuadrado has made a name for himself over the last decade with a series of ambitious albums that push the envelope of jazz composition. His latest work A Lorca Soundscape (Sunnyside, 2013) may very well represent the most challenging piece yet to emerge from his restive mind. As thought provoking ...
read moreAlexis Cuadrado: A Lorca Soundscape
È un grande contrabassista, Alexis Cuadrado, già lo sapevamo. Che sia pure un bravo autore di canzoni è una piacevole sorpresa, anche se avere Garcia Lorca come paroliere non è cosa da poco. Quando tra 1929 e il 1930 l'enfant prodige della poesia iberica trascorse un periodo di studi presso la Columbia University (una sorta di ...

Story of the Day
I love jazz because of Miles Davis and Vitor Assis Brasil. I was first exposed to jazz seeing I Festival Internacional de Jazz de São Paulo in 1978. I met Ron Carter at Arpoador.
