Evan Parker, Barry Guy, Paul Lytton: Live at Maya Recordings Festival
by Giuseppe Segala
Ci sono musicisti che indagano per tutta la loro vicenda artistica la stessa musica. Lo fanno con assoluta convinzione, concentrazione sugli obiettivi (estetici, tecnici, espressivi), con ampia varietà di dettagli e comunque all'interno di un quadro globale di sviluppo dove non mancano le sorprese, le digressioni, le smentite seppur coerenti. Forse i grandi artisti hanno sempre ...

Un “inganno" apparentemente insignificante, ...

Sure, The Modern Jazz Quartet always performed in formal wear, and Duke Ellington evoked gracefulness in response to his advertised “jungle music," but jazz has always bumped up against the high brow ceiling of more orthodox ...
