Piani di Battaglia

Read "Piani di Battaglia" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Un elemento che salta all'occhio, in Stefano Battaglia, è la discrezione, come artista e come uomo. Uno dei tanti modi in cui lo rivela è il grande rispetto che ha per la musica altrui. Una differenza, magari per molti impercettibile, che separa questi due album lo conferma una volta di più: nel primo, che ha per ...

Vanguard Jazz Orchestra: OverTime: Music of Bob Brookmeyer

Read "OverTime: Music of Bob Brookmeyer" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Questo disco ci è giunto con un po' di ritardo ma va assolutamente segnalato. È infatti uno dei migliori dischi dell'anno nonchè un omaggio al genio orchestrale di Bob Brookmeyer.

Maria Schneider Orchestra: The Thompson Fields

Read "The Thompson Fields" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


At the time Maria Schneider released Evanescence (Enja, 1994), big band jazz--especially in the US--was overly predictable and indecisively hanging on like ballroom music in a ghost town.

Scomparso Butch Morris, Maria Schneider è da considerare il massimo compositore-orchestratore del jazz contemporaneo. Ogni suo nuovo disco è un evento e The Thompson Fields lo è in misura maggiore per la lunga gestazione che l'ha caratterizzato.
