Joe Morris: Colorfield
by Jerry D'Souza
Challenges have been part of Joe Morris' life as a musician. He has long established his reputation as a guitarist on the improvised music scene playing with several high priests of the genre.

by AAJ Italy Staff
Quando, nel marzo 1972, nella Peace Church del Greenwich Village di New York il Revolutionary Ensemble esordisce discograficamente dopo poco più di un anno d'attività, la guerra del Vietnam è ancora in corso e la generazione di quegli improvvisatori che presto si affermeranno nei cosiddetti “loft" di New York inizia a presentarsi sul proscenio.
