Aline's Etoile Magique: éclipse

Read "éclipse" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Violinista di formazione classica e dagli attenti studi musicali (il padre è un musicologo), da sempre affascinata dal jazz, la canadese Aline Homzy presenta quest'assai singolare opera prima, dal gusto sicuramente cameristico e tuttavia venata non solo di jazz, bensì anche di colori etnici, sperimentazioni sonore, fantasia melodica, che concorrono alla creazione di atmosfere “astrali," coerentemente ...
