Frank Wright: Blues for Albert Ayler
by AAJ Italy Staff
Seguendo il consiglio di Bernard Stollman, creatore dell'etichetta ESP, alla fine degli anni Sessanta Frank Wright si trasferì a Parigi, come fecero molti musicisti afroamericani ampiamente sottostimati in patria. Il suo ritorno a New York nell'estate del 1974 lo riportò in contatto con il batterista Rashied Ali, fratello di quel Muhammad che con il sassofonista aveva ...
Louis Moholo-Moholo - Dudu Pukwana - Johnny Dyani with Rev. Frank Wright: Spiritual Knowledge and Grace
by AAJ Italy Staff

Boom Box: Jazz
by Henry Smith

Ware's post-op output includes potent showings in Saturnian (Aum Fidelity, 2009) and Onecept (Aum Fidelity, 2010) but Planetary Unknown represents the strongest achievement yet. In ...
