by John Kelman
Jazzkaar 2014 Tallinn, Estonia April 16-28, 2014 Any opportunity to return to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia in Eastern Europe, is one worth grabbing.

by Ian Patterson

Abdullah Ibrahim: Mukashi Once Upon a Time
by Maurizio Zerbo

Non è una scelta estetizzante, ma ben rispondente alla curiosità di un uomo che da 50 anni pratica le arti marziali e le filosofie orientali. Come ben dimostra la magnifica traccia finale del CD, i colori ...

Originally released under Dollar Brand's birth ...
