Todd Marcus Jazz Orchestra: Blues for Tahrir
by Angelo Leonardi
Che il jazz sia una musica sorprendente lo sappiamo bene ma spesso le sorprese ti piombano dal cielo (o per meglio dire, dal web) quando meno te le aspetti. E sono varie ed eccitanti.

by Mario Calvitti
Sei anni dopo il precedente The Astounding Eyes of Rita, il tunisino Anouar Brahem ritorna con un nuovo progetto.
