Rempis/Rosaly Duo: Codes/Myths

By MARK CORROTO

The reprise of the Rempis/Rosaly Duo comes after many changes in the musicians' lives. Their first session Cyrillic (482 Music, 2009) was recorded when both musicians made Chicago their home.

By MARK CORROTO

You probably already expect this, knowing Boeren has been a mainstay of the new Dutch swing for decades. With his All Ellington ...

Due lunghi brani per cinquanta minuti complessivi di musica, caratterizzano l'ennesima fatica discografica di Dave Rempis e della sua etichetta Aerophonic. Come al solito ci troviamo difronte a musica “dura e pura," senza compromessi, densa, libera espressione artistica, autonoma e in pieno controllo da parte degli artisti.
