Riccardo Fassi New York Project Orchestra: Sitting in a Song
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sitting in a Song è un disco pregevolissimo sotto il triplice piano della composizione, degli arrangiamenti e pratica strumentale.

by Ian Patterson
Maybe only a pirate radio station would be uninhibited enough to play duo improvisations such as these served up by trumpeter {Phil Grenadier and acoustic bassist Bruno Råberg. However, such mainstream disinterest should be considered a backhanded compliment and is perhaps reason enough to check it out. Plunge is an apt title for music inspired by ...
Linda Oh: Initial Here
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'apporto di musicisti di origine asiatica alla creatività del jazz di oggi è un elemento che, seppure con le dovute attenzioni per evitare slogan e banalizzazioni, sta dando risultati molto interessanti. Si pensi, solo per fare qualche esempio, al ruolo centrale che stanno giocando le sintesi espressive proposte dal pianista Vijay Iyer o dal sassofonista Rudresh ...
