Mike Westbrook: Art Wolf at 75

Read "Mike Westbrook: Art Wolf at 75" reviewed by Duncan Heining


Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine a jazz composer who began with Ellington and then moved on through Mingus.

Read "Golden Section" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il chitarrista anglo-indiano Gary Boyle ha davvero molti punti di contatto con John McLaughlin e questo album di inediti, appena pubblicato dalla Cuneiform, ci offre ulteriori conferme di un assunto che risulta essere inoppugnabile. Intanto il chitarrista è partito come side-man del funambolico Brian Auger, prendendo il posto nei Trinity della voce di Julie Driscoll, verso ...
