2016: An Ivo Perelman Marathon
by Mark Corroto
The original marathoner, Pheidippides in 490 BC, is believed to have run from Marathon, where a battle was being fought, to Athens to inform an assembly that the Persians had been defeated.

Rosa Brunello Y Los Fermentos: Upright Tales
by Giuseppe Segala
La tradizione del contrabbassista-leader è una consuetudine che nel jazz ha dato frutti sapidi.

Piccola guida al nuovo jazz italiano
by Luca Canini
Non è vero che il jazz italiano sta bene. Non è vero che siamo il paese dei festival e che abbiamo musicisti che tutto il mondo ci invidia. Possiamo raccontarcela tra di noi, se vi va.

I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Enrico Zanisi
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Vijay Iyer -Mutations (ECM -2014). Disco molto bello e interessante che vede uno dei miei pianisti preferiti alle prese con un quartetto d'archi (da lui stesso arrangiato) con la sapiente aggiunta di un po' di elettronica in alcuni brani. 02.
