01. Miles Davis - Live at the Plugged Nickel (Columbia - 1965). Ogni nota di questi dischi è sorprendente e assolutamente moderna.

October 30, 2008

Il titolo potrebbe trarre in inganno, perché non si tratta di un quartetto europeo e neanche di un americano che si fa accompagnare da una ritmica del vecchio continente. Sono semplicemente degli statunitensi che hanno deciso di emigrare in Europa: il leader risiede a Vienna, Paul Imm e Alan Jones in Germania. A completare il gruppo ...

Based upon the packaging, I suspected that this disc would contain avant-garde or at the very least cutting-edge, Knitting Factory-type jazz.

Reedman Andy Middleton's Reinventing the World could be a companion piece to another “theme" CD released earlier this year, pianist Mike Holober's Canyon (Sons of Sound, 2002), which celebrated the composer's love of canyoneering, hiking, and the outdoor experience with a set of finely crafted and highly melodic originals.
