by James Doherty

by Jack Bowers
Ol' Blue Eyes, of course, is the late Frank Sinatra, arguably the greatest interpreter of popular American music who ever lived.

Peter Oprisko è uno dei migliori esponenti di questo filone, grazie alla vicinanza stilistica con Frank Sinatra ...
Piani di Battaglia
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un elemento che salta all'occhio, in Stefano Battaglia, è la discrezione, come artista e come uomo. Uno dei tanti modi in cui lo rivela è il grande rispetto che ha per la musica altrui. Una differenza, magari per molti impercettibile, che separa questi due album lo conferma una volta di più: nel primo, che ha per ...
