Gabriele Comeglio: The Journey

Read "The Journey" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

In un ruolo più appartato rispetto a jazzisti italiani della generazione precedente, divenuti celebri anche al grande pubblico, Gabriele Comeglio ha svolto continuative esperienze anche nella musica leggera, producendo ed orchestrando numerosi dischi di Mina, collaborando con Battiato, Dalla, De Gregori, Daniele, Antoniacci e altri, scrivendo musiche per teatro, cinema e televisione.

Vinyl Old, New, and Reissued

Read "Vinyl Old, New, and Reissued" reviewed by Patrick Burnette

by Patrick Burnette

Yep, it's one of those “what did Pat find at the record store?" episodes, with an emphasis on lesser known artists (unless the guitarist from Tortoise is a secret superstar). It's a testament to jazz's recent love affair with vinyl that the newest album came out on the black stuff, one of the “historic" albums is ...

Franco Ambrosetti: Sweet Caress

Read "Sweet Caress" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Il rapporto fra jazz e archi è sempre stato piuttosto tormentato. A ottant'anni suonati (è nato nel dicembre 1941 e l'incisione data dicembre 2023, quindi 82 giusti giusti) ci casca anche un musicista glorioso come Franco Ambrosetti, che confeziona un album che verrebbe quasi da definire “pomicioso" (fin dal titolo), a dispetto dei musicisti coinvolti nella ...

I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

Read "I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu

Spesso molti articoli sulle “migliori uscite dell'anno" iniziano con una premessa quasi apologetica ("questi non sono necessariamente 'i migliori album dell'anno,' ma 'i miei preferiti';" “è tutto soggettivo;" “domani avrei scelto titoli diversi;" “ho potuto selezionare solo dieci album," ecc.)? Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...

Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024

Read "Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu

Have you noticed how many “best of the year" listicles start with an apologetic preamble ("these are not necessarily 'the best albums of the year' but 'my favorites';" “it's all subjective;" “tomorrow I might have chosen different titles;" “I could only select ten albums" etc.)? Those disclaimers channel the writer's discomfort of having to summarize a ...
