Chris Trinidad: Chris Trinidad's Changing Tides
by Chris M. Slawecki
During the course of 2021's lockdowns and distancing, music educator and bassist Chris Trinidad began to wonder if technology was bringing people together or keeping people apart.

Outhead: Send this Sound to the King
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un ensemble senz'altro effervescente, vitale, questo quartetto con doppio sax attivo nella Bay Area di San Francisco le cui voci-guida sono Alex Weiss e Charlie Gurke, che oltre tutto si dividono equamente la paternità dei brani presenti nel disco: tre a testa (il settimo, A Made Truth," peraltro il più debole del lotto, si deve al ...
