William Parker: Migration of Silence Into and Out of the Tone World
by Giuseppe Segala
L'attività musicale di William Parker è stata copiosamente documentata da circa centocinquanta dischi, che spaziano in un caleidocopio di gruppi fondati dallo stesso contrabbassista, formazioni cooperative, omaggi, collaborazioni. Ma nessun singolo lavoro, fino a questo momento, aveva focalizzato l'attenzione su un ventaglio di ispirazioni così ampio e completo come si fa ora nei dieci CD del ...
Stephen Haynes: Pomegranate
by Neri Pollastri
Dedicato alla memoria di Bill Dixon, che gli fu maestro, questo disco di Stephen Haynes è un piccolo gioiello di nitidezza e coerenza, pur mettendo in scena una moderna musica free condotta da musicisti che certo non si sottraggono ad affrontare la complessità e magmaticità di questo genere. Il lavoro, di circa un'ora, si ...

But Spanos has made the rounds in Europe and Canada, where disparate influences have cultivated ...
Sanda Weigl: Gypsy in a Tree
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Anyone who has lived the myriad lives of the Diaspora as Sanda Weigl has, is qualified to speak for the generations of pain and joy, torture and triumph of human life that has come to pass for her people, and the Gypsies as well.

Sanda: Gypsy in a Tree
by Bruce Lindsay
Try as they might, the world's greatest instrument makers have yet to create anything that comes close to the beauty, joy or emotional intensity of the human voice.

Ben Stapp Trio: Ecstasis
