Egberto Gismonti: Saudações
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ci sono voluti 12 anni prima di poter ascoltare un nuovo album di Egberto Gismonti, decisamente troppi data l'importanza dell'artista; l'ultimo suo lavoro pubblicato risale infatti al 1997 (Meeting Point, registrato nel 1995).

Sofia Tosello: Alma y Luna
by Raul d'Gama Rose
There is a story that bears telling about Brazilian musician/multi-instrumentalist Egberto Gismonti and legendary teacher, Nadia Boulanger.

This will unlock your voice and the world ...
Egberto Gismonti: Saudacoes
