Day 2 Of 8th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival Re-scheduled To September 20, 1-6pm
“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill... The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New ...

Brandon Seabrook: Sylphid Vitalizers
by Stefano Merighi
Non c'è davvero paragone tra quello che Brandon Seabrook propone all'interno dei diversi gruppi in cui presta la sua luciferina opera di chitarrista (ad esempio Power Plant o i Black Host di Gerald Cleaver) e in questa singolare prova in solitudine.

Vinnie Sperrazza: Apocryphal
by Vincenzo Roggero
Batterista piuttosto indaffarato, richiesto e apprezzato da molti musicisti, co-leader dei 40Twenty con Jacob Sacks, Vinnie Sperrazza debutta da solista con un gran album. Bastano i primi tre minuti di Apocryphal per intuire che questo sarà un disco ad alto tasso di interesse, giocato sui contrasti, sintonizzato su frequenze spesso disturbate che allertano continuamente le antenne ...
