Jan Garbarek: Popofoni
by Duncan Heining
Popofoni was originally issued as a double LP in the early seventies.

Ma ben meno conosciuta è la vicenda di un musicista di origine italiana, Antonio Bibalo, classe 1922 (quindi ...

Se, da un lato, il guizzo melodico ricorda Ornette Coleman, per altri versi c'è una personalità tutta originale, venata di tante sfumature, che riflettono umori dal Sud America all'Europa del ...
