Pete Robbins: Balance Dream

Read "Pete Robbins: Balance Dream" reviewed by Gordon Marshall


Pete Robbins is all about balance, in temperament and as an artist. He produces a polished sound on his alto saxophone, with a light tone betraying corners of darkness and complexity.

Steve Lantner Quartet: Given - Live In Munster

Read "Given - Live In Munster" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


L'atmosfera riflessiva, destrutturata, irreale e sospesa di piano e sax, all'inizio del primo brano, è la perfetta introduzione a un percorso che si sviluppa attraverso una musica atonale e lungo una traiettoria di perfetta libertà organizzata.
