The PsychoAcoustic Orchestra: Fun with Notes

Read "Fun with Notes" reviewed by Jack Bowers

Andrea Massaria, Bruce Ditmas: The Music Of Carla Bley

Read "The Music Of Carla Bley" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


I brani composti da Carla Bley nei primi anni Sessanta rappresentano una miniera dove i filoni auriferi sono diffusi in modo costante, emanano forza, freschezza, intuizione.

Read "Emanem Tidies Up" reviewed by John Eyles
