John Kelman's Best Releases of 2017

by John Kelman
December 24, 2017

For those who may have noticed, there have been no best of lists coming from yours truly since 2014; sadly, the chronic health problem that has reduced my previous writing pace to a crawl continues without much respite.

Intrepid jazz entrepreneur Rocco Somazzi ...

Jeff Gauthier Goatette: Open Source

by AAJ Italy Staff
March 22, 2012

Il Goatette di Jeff Gauthier è una delle formazioni più interessanti che operano nella West Coast americana, spostandosi senza soluzione di continuità fra un jazz molto spiritato e il rock progressivo più denso. Una sorta di Mahavishnu Orchestra diretta dal violinista invece che dal chitarrista. Rispetto alle prove precedenti abbiamo l'inserimento della tromba di John Fumo, ...
