John Coltrane: Song Of Praise: New York 1965 Revisited
by Maurizio Comandini
John Coltrane è uno dei pilastri centrali attorno ai quali si è strutturato il jazz moderno.

In quel caso si era mantenuto l'ordine strettamente cronologico partendo con ...

Wells Fargo Jazz For Teens
by Sanford Josephson

Christopher Kunz, Florian Fischer: Die Unwucht
by Alberto Bazzurro

Boris Kozlov: First Things First
by David A. Orthmann
Bassist Boris Kozlov, pianist Art Hirahara and drummer Rudy Royston often operate as the rhythm section on sessions for the venerable Posi-Tone Records imprint.

In short, it is never predictable what ...
Sonny Rollins: Ten Colossal Albums
by Chris May
The history of modern jazz is a short one, but even so there are few musicians whose careers began in the bop era and who are still with us in 2022. Drummer Roy Haynes is one.

If we take ...
