Libertango - The art and music of Leonardo Suarez Paz
by Duncan Heining
Argentinean violinist-composer Leonardo Suarez Paz personifies the tango. Both a dance and a music, Tango bridles with passion and seethes with a barely suppressed sexual tension. “To bridle" is the correct verb here with its dual connotations of intense emotion and constraint.

Dave Fabris feat. Ran Blake: Lettuce Prey
by Vincenzo Roggero
Un brano di Astor Piazzolla quasi hard-rock, Charles Mingus in versione noir, l'hendrixiana “Angel" in chitarra solitaria da brividi, “Sadness" di Ornette Coleman minimalista e lisergica, e poi Prokofiev, Ginastera, Ives. Insomma ce n'è per tutti gusti, verrebbe da dire, ma, attenzione, quello preparato da Dave “Knife" Fabris è tutt'altro che un frullato misto o uno ...
