Tomasz Stańko New York Quartet: December Avenue

Read "December Avenue" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

Un quartetto che interpreta al meglio i percorsi di Tomasz Stanko, già delineati al tempo delle registrazioni con la formazione polacca dallo stesso organico strumentale che ...

David Virelles: Gnosis

Read "Gnosis" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Dopo il breve e visionario excursus elettroacustico di Antenna (ECM, 2016), David Virelles prosegue nella sua coraggiosa riformulazione della musica cubana sviluppando la ricerca di Mbókò, il suo debutto ECM del 2014.

Si inizia con “Heart in Hand," una classica ballad nella quale Chris Potter conferma di essere uno dei massimi stilisti del sax tenore, a proprio agio in un contesto che senza indugi potremmo definire modern mainstream.
