by John Kelman
It's no secret that music is something that can dissolve borders, transcend cultures, and speak with a language understood by all.

by Jakob Baekgaard
A poem called “Hokusai, The Old Master," by the Norwegian poet Jan Erik Vold, tells about the understanding of art and life as a process that deepens with old age: “so when I turn 100 / I shall produce / praiseworthy things." Even though Vold has not turned 100 yet, he has reached ...
Food: This Is Not a Miracle
by Karl Ackermann
Since the formation of Food, more than a dozen years ago, the duo at its core, saxophonist Iain Ballamy and drummer Thomas Strønen, have remained the nucleus of a small but impressive coop of players who have added their unique creative ideas to an already out-of-the-mainstream entity whose philosophy has been to stun without their lasers ...

La via dei suoni di Luca Aquino
by Luigi Sforza
Poliedrico esploratore di esperienze musicali, adogmatico ascoltatore di musiche, trombettista molto ricercato per la sua tendenza a conciliare in forma sempre originale istanze sonore provenienti da ambiti musicali diversi e spesso lontani tra loro, Luca Aquino incarna l'immagine esemplare dell'esploratore sonoro contemporaneo, che pur rivolgendo lo sguardo ad un ampio panorama musicale -alla storia del jazz ...
Lars Danielsson: Liberetto II
by Neri Pollastri
Secondo album, con identico titolo, del quartetto del contrabbassista e violoncellista svedese, fortemente caratterizzato dalla presenza del talentuoso pianista Tigran Hamasyan, ma che si allarga a quintetto grazie a vari ospiti, il più incisivo dei quali (anche perché presente in più tracce) è Mathias Eick (nel precedente lavoro il suo posto era occupato da Arve Henriksen). ...
