Hilary Gardner: The Great City
by Dan Bilawsky
New York City has its fair share of sobriquets--"The City That Never Sleeps," “The Big Apple," and “Gotham" are just a few that spring to mind. It's a place of joy and frustration, triumph and tragedy, hope and despair, and all that exists between the extremes. It's a microcosm of the world we know, existing not ...
Supersilent: 12
by John Eyles
There is a widely-used saying about London's famous red buses, “You wait ages for one, and then three turn up at once..."

Gianni Gagliardi: Nomadic Nature
by Luigi Sforza
Sin dalle prime note di contrabbasso, che mantiene un pedale e introducono “Paris," l'appassionato di Ornette Coleman esulta. Scorrono altre tracce -"L'ironie d'une Jolie Prisse De Téte," dove alberga una definizione sonora di tipo iberico, moderna e spavaldamente veloce, “Macanudo Man," una specie di funk sospeso tra la possibilità di farsi fusion e l'impossibilità di appiatirsi ...
Indigo Mist: Cuong Vu - Richard Karpen: That The Days Go by and Never Come Again
by Vincenzo Roggero
Tributo elettroacustico a Duke Ellington e Billy Strayhorn, recita il comunicato stampa per il lancio di That The Days Go By and Never Come Again, album licenziato a nome Indigo Mist.
