Harry Allen / Scott Hamilton: ‘Round Midnight
by C. Michael Bailey
Johannes Brahms was called “the keeper of the flame" for Beethoven.

Markus Burger / Joe LaBarbera / Bob Magnusson: Accidental Tourists: The L.A. Sessions
by Dan McClenaghan

Curtis Fuller: The Story of Cathy & Me
by AAJ Italy Staff
Registrato in seguito alla scomparsa della moglie Catherine Rose Driscoll, avvenuta il 13 gennaio 2010, questo album non può che rappresentare, conseguentemente, un punto d'arrivo denso di significato nella parabola artistica di Curtis Fuller, trombonista nato a Detroit nel 1934 e noto tra l'altro per aver partecipato, nel 1957, all'incisione del coltraniano Blue Train e per ...
