Wayne Horvitz: A Musical Portrait
by Ludovico Granvassu
This week we focus on the music of Wayne Horvitz with special attention for his latest two releases, The Snowghost Sessions and Those Who Remain.

Wayne Horvitz: The Snowghost Sessions
by Glenn Astarita
This trio set is one of two concurrent releases by venerable composer/keyboardist Wayne Horvitz.

Jakob Bro: Bay of Rainbows
by John Kelman
Few ECM artists, barring perhaps longtime label stalwart, pianist Keith Jarrett, have been afforded the opportunity of releasing two albums within the same calendar year.

La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con ...
Tutto Monk: l'omaggio di Miles Okazaki
by Giuseppe Segala
Monk con la chitarra? Perché no. Si era posto la stessa sferica domanda Elliott Sharp pochi anni fa, registrando in solo con l'acustica l'album Sharp? Monk? Sharp! Monk! per l'etichetta Clean Feed. Si trattava di una scelta di cinque brani, elaborati con il criterio della lunga divagazione e riflessione geniale. Inoltre, il discorso era stato affrontato ...

This week we focus on jazz interpretations of today's popular music, with renditions of the songs of artists ranging from Marvin Gaye to Sonic Youth, from Prince to Led Zeppelin, from ...
