Delia Fischer: Beyond Bossa
by Allen Morrison
In 2019, after I'd been writing for DownBeat Magazine for about a decade, I was asked to review a batch of new albums from Brazil, including one by a Rio de Janeiro-based singer named Delia Fischer who wrote her own songs.

Roberto Bindoni: Summer Things
by Neri Pollastri
Mezz'ora di musica per sola chitarra, acustica o classica; musica sempre sospesa, ora dolce e melodica, ora più astratta e riflessiva, costruita con raffinati arpeggi, ma anche valorizzando stridor di corde, riverberi, suoni parassiti e percussioni sulla cassa: questo è Summer Things, album autoprodotto del chitarrista bresciano Roberto Bindoni.

Keith Jarrett's European Quartet: Innocence
by Scott Lichtman
It just so happens that two of the most poignant jazz ballads--in my opinion--were released in the same year. I'm not talking about throw-back masterpieces, such as Thelonious Monk's “Round Midnight" or Horace Silver's “Lonely Woman." Rather, they are Keith Jarrett's “Innocence" and Egberto Gismonti's “Palhaço," both originally issued in 1980. What makes these pieces stand ...
