Amina Claudine Myers: Solace of the Mind

Read "Solace of the Mind" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Un pianismo decisamente nero, peraltro senza alcun tipo di didascalismo o forzatura, è quanto ci arriva da questo nuovo lavoro, solitario, di Amina Claudine Myers, inciso alla fine di ottobre del 2023 e freschissimo di pubblicazione. Amina, classe 1942, come più o meno tutti sanno (o dovrebbero comunque sapere) è una delle figure di riferimento (al ...

PlainsPeak: Someone to Someone

Read "Someone to Someone" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Jon Irabagon's PlainsPeak delivers a soulful homecoming via a love letter to Chicago with its debut, Someone to Someone. Ditching the tech-heavy sprawl of his earlier work like Server Farm (Irabbagast, 2025), the leader returns to Chicago's gritty roots with a lean acoustic quartet that is all heart and sly wit. Irabagon, a Chicago-born ...

Eleonora Strino Quartet: Matilde

Read "Matilde" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Se cercate un disco “bello senz'anima" (fin dalla copertina, funzionale nonché sufficientemente ammiccante), con questo Matilde l'avete trovato.

Read "Dark Days" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

In 2025, amid global unrest and political fracture, the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom can feel like a distant dream, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have a Dream" speech like a myth from a gentler past. Has social media, with all its noise and manipulations, induced a kind of societal amnesia? ...
