The Nels Cline Singers: Initiate
by Troy Collins
Called “The World's Most Dangerous Guitarist" by Jazz Times and named one of twenty “Guitar Gods" by Rolling Stone, Nels Cline's profile has expanded considerably since his collaborations with underground personalities like Thurston Moore and Mike Watt and recruitment by Wilco in 2004.

Carla Bley: Carla's Christmas Carols
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nella sua bella maturità Carla Bley ha forse perso qualcosa dell'asprigna e acidula irriverente secchezza che contraddistingueva i suoi lavori più originali, ma ha certamente acquistato una capacità di scrittura che sa riflettere con arguzia la sua raffinatezza in ambito armonico e la sua sottigliezza in campo ritmico.

Bobby Previte: Pan Atlantic
by A. Henkin
The “mashup," the blending of two or more songs to create a new work, has steadily gained popularity over the last decade. It is only fitting then that creative musicians feel free to utilize a similar approach when producing original music. Drummer Bobby Previte's Pan Atlantic seems to be an excellent example. The ...
