Miguel Crozzoli / Pablo Díaz: Tierra
by Jakob Baekgaard
There is a poem by the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf (1907-1968) called “Den svarte bilden" (The black image) in which he tells about an icon whose image is kissed away. It is a spiritual act of love where the image of representation is transgressed. Interestingly, Ekelöf's poem could be an illustration of what ...
Eduardo Elia: Solo
by Dan McClenaghan
Argentinian pianist Eduardo Elia, based now in his homeland, attended Berkelee College of Music in Boston.

Jazz In Buenos Aires: Fresh Breezes From The South
by Mark Holston
Galería Apolo is one of many 1950s-style shopping arcades that flank Avenida Corrientes, the gaudy, pedestrian-packed “Broadway" of Argentina's cosmopolitan and bustling capital city. A dimly lit galería, it's the kind of one-stop-shopping destination where tiny specialty shops sell everything from comic books to costume jewelry and a visitor can get a watch repaired or satisfy ...
SLD Trio: Anfitrion
by Jakob Baekgaard
A piano trio without a leader? The concept is not unknown, but the norm in jazz is that a trio has a leader. Even pianist Bill Evans' trio with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian, famous for dissolving the fixed hierarchy in a trio setting, was formally presented as the Bill Evans trio.
Kuai Music: Moving Jazz Forward Collectively
by Jakob Baekgaard
The history of jazz is often told as an evolution propelled by great individuals whose singular sounds have helped to shape the aesthetic of the music. This is understandable since artists like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Miles Davis really DID influence the development of jazz and this is confirmed every time ...

There is something about places. A particular place can create a special mood. When it comes to music, a place can create a unique frame that adds inspiration and ambience.
