Roy Powell - Lorenzo Feliciati - Lucrezio de Seta: Aria
by Glenn Astarita
Roy Powell has been the quiet man in the engine room for years. British by birth and Norwegian by choice, he once spent serious time as Anthony Braxton's pianist on those wild European tours where the music looked like geometry homework, and the applause was optional. He later slipped into the electric Norwegian wave, trading greasy ...

Sal Mosca: For Lennie Tristano
by Jack Kenny
Sal Mosca was absorbed by the ideas of Lenne Tristano. The life force that is in the music of Tristano is not waning.
