Andrew Raffo Dewar: Interactions Quartet

Read "Interactions Quartet" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Ecco un esempio di come i confini fra improvvisazione di matrice jazzistica e concezione compositiva contemporanea possano oggi essere sfumati, con travalicamenti continui da un'area all'altra, sia per quanto riguarda i meccanismi della produzione sonora da parte degli esecutori, sia per quanto attiene gli esiti del messaggio musicale percepito da chi ascolta.

Mario Pavone: Street Songs

Read "Street Songs" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Street Songs includes Adam Matlock's bellows-driven squeezebox, not as a gimcrack ornament, but a link to the immigrant working class neighborhood music of Pavone's post-WW II youth. The musician's history ...

Pino Minafra: musicista militante

Read "Pino Minafra: musicista militante" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Negli ultimi anni Pino Minafra non ha trovato uno spazio adeguato sulle riviste specializzate e questa trascuratezza nei suoi confronti non si giustifica se si considera la sua attività sempre vulcanica e fortemente orientata; non solo, ma basta avere l'occasione di incontrarlo e stuzzicarlo un po' perché la sua voce si alzi animosa, corrosiva e costruttivamente ...
