by Neri Pollastri
Aadal è un quartetto norvegese formato dal chitarrista Michael Aadal sfoltendo la sua precedente formazione, con la quale aveva già pubblico alcuni album per Losen Records.

Dan Weiss: Even Odds
by Mark Corroto
Drummer and composer Dan Weiss turns his experiments and percussion exercises into compositions on this trio recording Even Odds.

Alberto Forino: Tiny Toys
by Giuseppe Segala
Non è facile dire qualcosa di nuovo nell'ambito del trio con pianoforte. È un sentiero indagato a fondo nel jazz, con esiti di altissima intensità artistica, dialogica, umana, paragonabile a quanto è stato fatto con il quartetto d'archi nella musica accademica occidentale.

Cettina Donato, Zoe Pia: Mito
by Neri Pollastri
Progetto singolare e ambizioso, questo messo a punto dalla pianista Cettina Donato e dalla clarinettista Zoe Pia: narrare in musica alcune storiche figure mitologiche, profittando anche della rispettiva ascendenza culturale --la prima è siciliana, la seconda sarda --che le rende testimoni privilegiate del radicamento ancestrale della tradizione mitologica. Alternandosi alla composizione --la titolarità dei ...
