Sergio Armaroli, l'improvvisazione oltre la musica
by Neri Pollastri
Sergio Armaroli è un artista singolare, assai difficile non solo da etichettare, ma anche da definire: compositore e percussionista che ha come strumenti principali vibrafono e marimba, attivo tanto nella contemporanea, quanto nel jazz, sempre comunque in situazioni in cui l'improvvisazione la fa da padrona, è però anche pittore, poeta, saggista. Un artista plurale, molto prolifico, ...

Lyle Mays: Eberhard
by John Kelman
When pianist, keyboardist, synthesist and composer Lyle Mays passed away at the far too young age of 66 following a long battle with a recurring (but, to this day, undisclosed) illness in February 2020, it was a major loss for his fans.

His Songs - The Keith Jarrett Songbook - Companion Mixtape
by Ludovico Granvassu
Two hours are so quick to fill and one has to often exclude tracks that deserve attention but for one reason or another (length, similarities to other selections, need for variety and flow etc.) don't find the right spot in the playlist... To remedy the situation we have a “companion mixtape" series when it's necessary to ...
Bassrageous!
by Patrick Burnette
Mike thinks “basserageous" is the stupidest title for the podcast yet, but is it, really? There's a lot of competition. Anyway, this fortnight's gem looks at ECM albums where the bass is large and in charge, which provides opportunities to talk about ECM's aesthetics, how technological changes in the seventies allowed bass players new prominence, and ...

by Chris May
For many people, composer and arranger Eddie Sauter's reputation begins and ends with Stan Getz's Focus (Verve, 1962). The album is, indeed, a masterpiece. But it is only one of the pinnacles of Sauter's career, which started during the swing era. Nor is Focus Sauter's only collaboration with Getz. The partnership continued with the less widely ...
