For four North American journalists, however, the figurative took fantastic form with an offer to visit Cape Town, soak in ...

Non che gli album in studio manchino di sostanza, o di creatività; però la fragranza delle danze, unita alla spavalderia delle improvvisazioni al calor bianco, si libera davvero in palcoscenico.

La filosofia di questo album si potrebbe sintetizzare così. Continuate a criticare e sparare a zero sullo straight ahead jazz, figlio primogenito della rivoluzione bebop, definendolo una musica morta senza futuro? Eccovi allora servita una band, Rebop Union, un nome un programma, e un CD, Blue Notes, che è più di un richiamo ad una delle ...
