Il progetto è il risultato di un processo osmotico che prevede l'acquisizione e l'accumulo al suo interno di ...
Bastet: Eye of Ra
by Dave Wayne
Billing themselves as “original modern West Coast Jazz," I half- hoped to see Shelly Manne and Bud Shank pop up amongst the credits on Bastet's debut album Eye of Ra. Alas, the music of this Bay Area-based quartet apparently has very little to do with the Los Angeles- based West Coast jazz scene that spawned such ...

Giovanni Francesca: Rame
by Luigi Sforza
Come già nel precedente disco da leader, anche Rame -secondo progetto a nome del chitarrista beneventano Giovanni Francesca -risente della chiara e riconoscibile influenza di Bill Frisell. Ciò vale soprattutto per alcuni brani, in particolare per “Gocce," “Novela," “Rom" e “Atollo." Tuttavia, non è assente una personale vena creativa che si manifesta in brani dall'umore, ...

Old Time Musketry: Drifter
by Dave Wayne
Old and new collide and intermingle in a variety of appealing ways on Drifter, the second long-player by the Brooklyn-based collective, Old Time Musketry. It's funny, though, how old has become new and new has become old. J. P. Schlegelmilch, the keyboardist and primary composer for the band (he wrote all but 2 of Drifter's varied ...
