Of Music and Brilliance, the Vision of Evan Parker

Read "Of Music and Brilliance, the Vision of Evan Parker" reviewed by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.

Evan Parker: Boustrophedon

Read "Boustrophedon" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


E se alla fine l'annosa diatriba sulla opposizione/dialettica tra composizione e improvvisazione fosse solo frutto di un errore percettivo? Giusto chiederselo allora, quando l’ECM licenziò Composition/Improvisation Nos. 1, 2 & 3 di Roscoe Mitchell, doveroso rinnovare l’interrogativo in occasione dell’uscita del disco gemello di quell’opera straordinaria, Boustrophedon, con Evan Parker a guidare il Transatlantic Art Ensemble ...
