Steve Coleman and the Council of Balance: Synovial Joints

Dafnis Prieto Sextet: Triangles and Circles
by Dave Wayne
The thing that sets Latin jazz apart from other forms of jazz is that it's fundamentally a music for dance.

David Virelles: Mbókò
by Luca Canini
Certo che ne ha di talento David Virelles. A quintali, a vagonate. Da affittare, vendere e persino subappaltare. Nell'ottobre del 2012, quando la Pi Recordings mise il timbro su Continuum, secondo disco del pianista di origini cubane, non furono in molti ad accorgersi che era nata una stella. Oggi, a due anni abbondanti ...
