Franco Cerri: Barber Shop 2
by Angelo Leonardi
Franco Cerri è uno dei pochi jazzisti italiani che mette tutti d'accordo, critica e pubblico: un magnifico artista e un uomo d'innata simpatia, che ha divulgato il jazz in Italia quando non esistevano i festival estivi e questa musica era un fenomeno marginale. I novant'anni d'età e i settanta di carriera artistica sono stati ...

Wolfgang Schalk: From Here to There
by Mark F. Turner
Guitarist Wolfgang Schalk continues to bring that soulful swing which might label him as an acolyte of hard-bop jazz. Yet there's much more to his story as proven in his seventh release as leader From Here To There unveiling fresh material delivered by commanding musicians. This deference to the art-form also proves Schalk's exceptional talent and ...
Tula's Jazz Club: A Seattle Tradition in the Making

Life in the Pacific Northwest is hauntingly similar to jazz music itself, from that which is inward, deep in the recesses of our collective soul, to the outward expressionism as a ray of sunlight, an exaltation of joy, harmony expressed in the deep, deep blue of sentient life, and of our enlightened sky.
