Autumn Falls
by Bruce Lindsay
It's autumn (Fall, if pushed). British jazz gets sensible again, and moves back indoors.

Empirical: Out 'n' In
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il secondo CD della formazione inglese Empirical, è imperniato sulla celebrazione di Eric Dolphy e del suo Out to Lunch. Sia pur limitato dalle gabbie ritmico-armoniche dell'estetica rivisitata, è comunque un buon disco, nel riproporre la profonda carica emotiva della musica dolphiana.
