2015: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
The year 2015 was a curious blend of ups and downs, with glimmers of optimism offset by its losses. Venues opened to great fanfare, but others closed for a variety of reasons. UNESCO's International Jazz Day became firmly entrenched as the exclamation point on Jazz Appreciation Month activities in April. Daily arts journalism took a hit ...
Eivind Aarset: The Edge Between Intimacy and Courage
by Adriana Carcu
Guitarist and composer Eivind Aarset is one of the most imaginative exponents of the spirit of open diversity that defines and differentiates the Nordic Jazz soundscape.

Then there's Bugge Wesseltoft. Since emerging in the mid-'90s with his techno/house/electronica-driven New Conception of Jazz series--which didn't just establish him in his native Norway but, ...
I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Luca Dell'Anna
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Clifford Brown--Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings (Verve -1989). A mio parere il punto più alto fra i giganti che stanno alla radice del jazz moderno è rappresentato da Clifford Brown. Ogni sua frase nasce già scolpita nella pietra, un'aderenza perfetta fra pensiero e azione. Ascoltando Clifford Brown mi ritorna chiara ogni volta l'importanza della ...
