Read "I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Caroline Davis" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

01. Arthur Russell-Tower of Meaning (Chatham Square -1983). Ho cominciato ad ascoltare Arthur Russell nel 2006.

Idea non nuova ma affascinante, in relazione alla ...

by Hrayr Attarian

On her intriguing debut Padme pianist Caili O'Doherty showcases her superb skills as a composer, an improviser and a bandleader. The individual musicians' spontaneous expressions are integrated within the harmonic construct of her nine originals that comprise the album.
