Paul Shapiro: Shofarot Verses
È evidente che si tratta di una musica di fruizione anche gratificante, qua e là magari un po' sovrabbondante, certo non particolarmente problematica o concettuale, cui la chitarra di Marc Ribot riesce solo in parte a fornire una patina jazzistica (che verosimilmente neppure vuole avere, e che non costituisce comunque un valore assoluto, una conditio sine qua non verso una presunta patente artistica, è ovvio).
Un disco da ascoltare tutto d'un fiato (anche perché è piuttosto breve) senza pretendere che ci sveli imprevedibili scenari creativi.
