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. It certainly was quite the achievement, taking into account the sorry state of footwear at the time and lack of prepackaged gels and energy ...
Yelena Eckemoff: Blooming Tall Phlox
by Dan Bilawsky
While the art of playing jazz qualifies as a multisensory experience, involving listening, touching, and seeing, it usually doesn't extend so far as to include the sense of smell. But that's not to say that a nose for scents has no place in musical and artistic spheres. If you need convincing, just look at Blooming Tall ...

Branford Marsalis Quartet with Special Guest Kurt Elling: Upward Spiral
by Stefano Merighi
Sembra che Branford Marsalis continui ad avere John Coltrane come stella polare nell'orientarsi in una luminosa maturità artistica. E come il maestro che, nel bel mezzo di un turbinoso oltrepassamento del linguaggio specifico del jazz, piazzava due disorientanti album di canzoni (i peraltro magnifici John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman e Ballads), così Branford interrompe l'intensa progressione ...

Un supporto di prim'ordine ma anche una bella responsabilità per una ragazza poco più che ventenne, appena uscita dall'University of ...
