Marc Copland: Alter Ego Lausanne 2022
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Marc Copland began his jazz journey playing the alto saxophone. It was an electric alto saxophone. Plugged-in saxophones are not heard much in jazz. And that is a shame. It seems like a good idea, juicing up the horn and making new sounds. But Copland soon found this way of making music limiting. He went ...

Keith Jarrett: The Old Country: More from the Deer Head Inn
by Alberto Bazzurro
Disco come sempre di gran classe, questo, inciso il 16 settembre 1992 al Deer Head Inn di Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, con Paul Motian in luogo del “canonico" Jack DeJohnette, ma con immutate le stimmate del già celeberrimo (nonché celebratissimo) standard trio di un Keith Jarrett all'epoca quarantasettenne e nel pieno della sua maturità tecnico-espressiva.
Perfection: Bill Evans - Reflections in D
In 1953, Duke Ellington recorded a solo piano piece that was lush, dreamy and introspective. The song was composed in the key of D, and Ellington called it Reflections in D.
